ETH_SUBSCRIBE does not exist

[Hailiebaby16]

Im trying to make a pancakeswap pair event but i am getting an error that says. eth_subscribe does not exist

Can you provide a code example of what you are doing? There is no eth_subscribe directly available as that is a JSON-RPC method, you must use the ethers provider API.

(moving to discussions)

Thanks. I’ll look into this example.

Here's the error btw

What backend are you using? Geth? Do other operations work, like getBlockNumber? Can you also try a non-websocket provider?
