Just spoke to the team. Seems like this is supposed to be more of a warning. Not an error. Could you please confirm?

my index.ts

import { initialize, getKeyringFromSeed } from "avail-js-sdk"

const main = async () => {
  try {
    const seed = "seed pharse which i have AVL" // Put a seed with some funds here
    const data = "Test App megumii"

    const api = await initialize()
    const keyring = getKeyringFromSeed(seed)
    const options = { app_id: 24, nonce: -1 }

    await api.tx.dataAvailability.submitData(data).signAndSend(keyring, options)

    process.exit(0)
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err)
    process.exit(1)
  }
}
main()

Hey so i tried running this locally. It’s not an error. It’s just a warning. The data submission does go through successfully. Keep an eye on the explorer, and you’ll see your data submission transaction being included in the block.

We will try to modify the example code to show transaction result as well so it’s easier for users.

Here is where we’ve defined the default WSS URL https://github.com/availproject/avail-js/blob/e980c60f653a7f6699342c2896c8d072009b87fe/src/chain/index.ts#L6

We made some changes for more visibility into the transaction status. Check it out here.

so for the transfer i just need to add that transaction status too?

Instead of changing the src file endpoint, you could add an argument when initializing the api
