Whisper API Extension

API

shhext_getNewFilterMessages

Accepts the same input as shh_getFilterMessages.

Returns

Returns a list of whisper messages matching the specified filter. Filters out the messages already confirmed received by shhext_confirmMessagesProcessed

Deduplication is made using the whisper envelope content and topic only, so the same content received in different whisper envelopes will be deduplicated.

shhext_confirmMessagesProcessed

Confirms whisper messages received and processed on the client side. These messages won't appear anymore when shhext_getNewFilterMessages is called.

Parameters

Gets a list of whisper envelopes.

shhext_post

Accepts same input as shh_post.

Returns

DATA, 32 Bytes - the envelope hash
