# Request
Utilities for requesting events from Nostr relays with filtering, deduplication, and batching capabilities.
## Functions
### requestOne(options)
Requests events from a single relay using the given filters. Returns a promise that resolves with deduplicated events.
**Options:**
- `relay` - Relay URL
- `filters` - Array of Nostr filters
- `signal?` - AbortSignal for cancellation
- `tracker?` - Event tracker for deduplication
- `context?` - Adapter context
- `autoClose?` - Auto-close subscription after EOSE
- Validation functions: `isEventValid`, `isEventDeleted`
- Callback functions: `onEvent`, `onDeleted`, `onInvalid`, `onFiltered`, `onDuplicate`, `onDisconnect`, `onEose`, `onClosed`, `onClose`
- `onClosed?: (message: string, url: string) => void` - Called when the relay sends a CLOSED message, receiving the close reason and relay URL
- `onClose?: () => void` - Called when the subscription is fully closed
### request(options)
Requests events from multiple relays in parallel. Returns a promise that resolves with all events from all relays.
**Options:**
- `relays` - Array of relay URLs
- `filters` - Array of Nostr filters
- `threshold?` - Fraction of relays that must close before completing (default: 1)
- All other options from `requestOne`
### makeLoader(options)
Creates a batched loader function that delays and combines requests for efficiency.
**Options:**
- `delay` - Batch delay in milliseconds
- `timeout?` - Request timeout
- `threshold?` - Relay completion threshold
- Validation functions and context options
### load(options)
Pre-configured loader with 200ms delay, 3s timeout, and 0.5 threshold. Takes a `LoadOptions` object containing `relays`, `filters`, and optional callback fields (`onEvent`, `onDisconnect`, `onEose`, `onClose`) and an optional `signal`.
## Example
```typescript
import {request, load} from "@welshman/net"
// Simple request - without autoClose or a signal this will continue to stream indefinitely.
// Default policies (see policy.ts) will also re-send the subscription when sockets reconnect
const events = await request({
relays: ["wss://relay1.com", "wss://relay2.com"],
filters: [{kinds: [1], limit: 10}],
onEvent: (event, url) => console.log(`Event from ${url}:`, event.id)
})
// Batched loading (more efficient for multiple requests)
const profileEvents = await load({
relays: ["wss://relay1.com"],
filters: [{kinds: [0], authors: ["pubkey1", "pubkey2"]}]
})
```
