Retrieving Past Events from the Legacy Marketplace throws error

I'm looking to use the Legacy Marketplace contract to backfill AuctionSuccessful data on my website
However when I change the contract to the current marketplace abi and proxy address it works just fine. Any ideas what the issue could be?

📝 Details

I'm looking to use the Legacy Marketplace contract to backfill AuctionSuccessful data on my website with this code:

const backfill = legacyMarketContract
  .getPastEvents("AuctionSuccessful", {
    fromBlock: 5284556,
    toBlock: "latest"
  }) 

(this uses the legacy and ABI and legacy address)
Everytime I keep hitting this error:
Error: CONNECTION ERROR: Couldn't connect to node on WS.

However when I change the contract to the current marketplace abi and proxy address it works just fine. Any ideas what the issue could be?

- Connect to web3
- Provide legacy Abi and legacy contract address to instantiate a contract
- call get past events on contract with the event of AuctionSuccessful

Hey!

• Which provider are you using?
• Did you try to use bigger fromBlock? sometimes you could get a timeout if there is a lot of events to return (mainnet)

Thanks

Hey man!

• I'm using Infura
• Using a bigger fromBlock solved the problem!!! Thank you @nachomazzara !
