unsubscribe

[Source]

The unsubscribe command tells the server to stop sending messages for a particular subscription or set of subscriptions.

Request Format

An example of the request format:

{
    "id": "Unsubscribe a lot of stuff",
    "command": "unsubscribe",
    "streams": ["ledger","server","transactions","transactions_proposed"],
    "accounts": ["rrpNnNLKrartuEqfJGpqyDwPj1AFPg9vn1"],
    "accounts_proposed": ["rrpNnNLKrartuEqfJGpqyDwPj1AFPg9vn1"],
    "books": [
        {
            "taker_pays": {
                "currency": "XRP"
            },
            "taker_gets": {
                "currency": "USD",
                "issuer": "rUQTpMqAF5jhykj4FExVeXakrZpiKF6cQV"
            },
            "both": true
        }
    ]
}

The parameters in the request are specified almost exactly like the parameters to the subscribe method, except that they are used to define which subscriptions to end instead. The parameters are:

Field Type Description
streams Array (Optional) Array of string names of generic streams to unsubscribe from, including ledger, server, transactions, and transactions_proposed.
accounts Array (Optional) Array of unique account addresses to stop receiving updates for, in the XRP Ledger's base58 format. (This only stops those messages if you previously subscribed to those accounts specifically. You cannot use this to filter accounts out of the general transactions stream.)
accounts_proposed Array (Optional) Like accounts, but for accounts_proposed subscriptions that included not-yet-validated transactions.
books Array (Optional) Array of objects defining order books to unsubscribe from, as explained below.

The rt_accounts and url parameters, and the rt_transactions stream name, are deprecated and may be removed without further notice.

The objects in the books array are defined almost like the ones from subscribe, except that they don't have all the fields. The fields they have are as follows:

Field Type Description
taker_gets Object Specification of which currency the account taking the offer would receive, as an object with currency and issuer fields (omit issuer for XRP), like currency amounts.
taker_pays Object Specification of which currency the account taking the offer would pay, as an object with currency and issuer fields (omit issuer for XRP), like currency amounts.
both Boolean (Optional, defaults to false) If true, remove a subscription for both sides of the order book.

Response Format

An example of a successful response:

{
    "id": "Unsubscribe a lot of stuff",
    "result": {},
    "status": "success",
    "type": "response"
}

The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing no fields.
