Getting 'Time Last Seen' of pending TX

[travisbotello]

Is it possible to get the Time Last Seen timestamp? I am currently listening to pending TXs and want to exclude/filter out certain TXs that are older than a certain period of time.

I am currently using:

providerWS.on("pending", (tx) => { console.log("receiving pending tx:", tx); }

in conjunction with getTransaction() but couldn't find any useful figure.

To my knowledge that information is not present anywhere that you can access normally.

Etherscan's database is very large and they store and index a lot more information than is typically available.

I already had the suspicion that only etherscan is storing that kind of information. Thanks for confirmation :)

The time a txn was "last seen" is roughly when our node has received it, this may change with different node locations and latency.

Might be useful to expose as an API endpoint if devs find this helpful!
