JungleBus

Real-time BSV blockchain data streaming from GorillaPool. Indexes all Bitcoin transactions with special handling for data protocols.

When to Use

Subscribe to transactions matching specific patterns
Stream real-time mempool and block data
Build indexers or notification systems
Monitor addresses or script patterns
Track 1Sat Ordinals, MAP, BAP, and other protocols

Creating a Subscription

Step-by-Step (Dashboard)

Visit https://junglebus.gorillapool.io
Sign in or create an account
Navigate: Dashboard > Subscriptions > Create New
Fill in subscription details:
- ID: Auto-generated unique identifier
- Name: Descriptive name for your subscription
- Description: What this subscription monitors

Subscription Filters

Define what transactions to capture using AND logic (all conditions must match):

Filter	Description	Examples
Addresses	Comma-separated Bitcoin addresses	`1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa`
Input types	Input script types	`ordlock`, `sigil`
Output types	Output classifications	`aip`, `bap`, `bitcom`, `map`, `ord`, `run`, `token_stas`, `pubkeyhash`, `nulldata`
Contexts	Main data from OP_RETURN outputs	Protocol-specific identifiers
Sub contexts	Secondary data from outputs	Depends on output type
Data keys	Key=value pairs from transactions	`app=junglebus`, `type=post`

Note: Multiple values in a single field use AND logic - all must be present in the transaction.

Common Subscription Patterns

Monitor 1Sat Ordinals:

Output types: ord
Contexts: image/png, text/plain (content types)

Monitor BAP Identity:

Output types: bap
Contexts: 1BAPSuaPnfGnSBM3GLV9yhxUdYe4vGbdMT (BAP address)

Monitor MAP Protocol:

Output types: map
Contexts: 1PuQa7K62MiKCtssSLKy1kh56WWU7MtUR5 (MAP prefix)

Monitor Specific Address:

Addresses: 1YourAddressHere

JavaScript Client

Installation

npm install @gorillapool/js-junglebus

Basic Usage

import { JungleBusClient, ControlMessageStatusCode } from '@gorillapool/js-junglebus';

const client = new JungleBusClient("junglebus.gorillapool.io", {
  useSSL: true,
  onConnected(ctx) { 
    console.log("Connected", ctx); 
  },
  onConnecting(ctx) { 
    console.log("Connecting", ctx); 
  },
  onDisconnected(ctx) { 
    console.log("Disconnected", ctx); 
  },
  onError(ctx) { 
    console.error("Error", ctx); 
  }
});

// Subscribe to a subscription ID
const subscriptionId = "your-subscription-id";
const fromBlock = 750000;

client.Subscribe(
  subscriptionId,
  fromBlock,
  (tx) => {
    // Confirmed transaction received
    console.log("TX:", tx.id, "at height", tx.block_height);
    console.log("Output types:", tx.output_types);
    console.log("Contexts:", tx.contexts);
  },
  (status) => {
    // Status updates
    if (status.statusCode === ControlMessageStatusCode.BLOCK_DONE) {
      console.log("Block done:", status.block);
    } else if (status.statusCode === ControlMessageStatusCode.WAITING) {
      console.log("Waiting for new block...");
    } else if (status.statusCode === ControlMessageStatusCode.REORG) {
      console.log("Reorg triggered:", status);
    }
  },
  (error) => {
    // Subscription errors
    console.error("Subscription error:", error);
  },
  (mempoolTx) => {
    // Unconfirmed mempool transaction
    console.log("Mempool TX:", mempoolTx.id);
  }
);

Lite Mode (Lower Bandwidth)

// Last parameter = true for lite mode
client.Subscribe(
  subscriptionId, 
  fromBlock, 
  onTx, 
  onStatus, 
  onError, 
  onMempool, 
  true // Lite mode - only txid and block height
);
