  • Version: 4.4.1
  • Python: 3.5
  • OS: osx

What was wrong?

Doesn't let filter by an address on Rinkeby. Should this be signed? How exactly? Shouldn't this be a normal lookup, creating no transaction?

  • The code which produced the error
provider = HTTPProvider(<infura_token>)
w3 = Web3(provider)
filt = w3.eth.filter('address': <CONTRACT_ADDRESS>)
  • The full output of the error
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 405 Client Error: Method Not Allowed for url: <infura_token>
  • What type of node you were connecting to.
    Infura / Rinkeby

How can it be fixed?

@rbval Filters are not supported on Infura.
This is not a bug in web3.py

@rbval we have a feature in the works to fix this but it isn't complete yet. See #551
