Rust Bitcoin Core ZMQ Subscriber

Usage example

fn main() {
    for msg in bitcoincore_zmq::subscribe_receiver(&["tcp://127.0.0.1:28359"]).unwrap() {
        match msg {
            Ok(msg) => println!("Received message: {msg}"),
            Err(err) => println!("Error receiving message: {err}"),
        }
    }
}

Features

• Minimal dependencies: the 2 crates bitcoin and zmq, optionally 2 additional crates are needed for the async subscriber, async_zmq and futures-util.
• Handles all message types from Bitcoin Core: hashblock, hashtx, block, tx and sequence.
• Flexible: choose between blocking functions with a callback, reading from a Receiver or reading from an asynchronous Stream without locking to a specific async runtime.

Testing

Tests run on every push and pull request. Integration tests use the latest version of the 5 most recent major Bitcoin Core versions, see integration_tests.yml.
