How do you Connect to Infura for Chain state?

[ChristianOConnor]

I ran this command export FULLNODE_API_INFO="https://PROJECT_ID:[email protected]" then lotus daemon --lite. Btw I followed the docs perfectly, uncommenting config.toml line 3 and changing 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0.

I got the following error repeating.

2021-09-01T06:51:01.848-0400	INFO	events	events/observer.go:69	restarting listenHeadChanges
2021-09-01T06:51:01.872-0400	ERROR	events	events/observer.go:58	listen head changes errored: listenHeadChanges ChainNotify call failed: RPC error (-32004): method 'Filecoin.ChainNotify' not supported in this mode (no out channel support)

The I tried the same thing but with export FULLNODE_API_INFO="wss://PROJECT_ID:[email protected]" but I got

2021-09-01T06:52:46.908-0400	INFO	main	lotus/daemon.go:217	lotus repo: /Users/<myusername>/.lotus
2021-09-01T06:52:46.909-0400	WARN	cliutil	util/apiinfo.go:81	API Token not set and requested, capabilities might be limited.
ERROR: malformed ws or wss URL

Also I don't get why I'm supposed to create a token locally via lotus auth create-token --perm admin according to the docs. I don't see where this token comes into play in terms of syncing chainstate with the Infura node?

@ChristianOConnor Are you still facing this problem? If not, then can you tell how it was resolved?

[ChristianOConnor]

I'm still having this problem, no one could fix it.

@ChristianOConnor Can you please try to get read only access to the infura node?

FULLNODE_API_INFO=/ip4/<YOUR_FULL_NODE_IP_ADDRESS>/tcp/1234 lotus daemon --lite

Can you please also let me know how you came to the format export FULLNODE_API_INFO="https://PROJECT_ID:[email protected]" as lotus docs mention the format to be FULLNODE_API_INFO=API_TOKEN:/ip4/YOUR_FULL_NODE_IP_ADDRESS/tcp/1234 lotus daemon --lite

Also, I think you have not generated the API_TOKEN for you account on the infura side. Please generate that and use it in place of username and password. You can check with infura support on how to generate an API token if you need help.
