eth_getLogs on XLayer
Returns event logs matching an address/topic filter over a block range — the core method for indexers, subgraphs, and event listeners. The heaviest read method; available on the free tier with an API key (not on the public endpoint).
Cost scales with block range × matching logs, so always set tight address + topics filters and keep ranges small. Most providers cap the span (commonly ~100k blocks or ~10k logs) — paginate when you hit the cap. This weight is why it's key-gated.
