Follow Received Payments
This tutorial shows how easy it is to use Horizon to watch for incoming payments on an account using JavaScript and EventSource. We will eschew using js-stellar-sdk, the high-level helper library, to show that it is possible for you to perform this task on your own with whatever programming language you would like to use.
This tutorial assumes that you:
-
Have node.js installed locally on your machine.
-
Have curl installed locally on your machine.
-
Are running on Linux, macOS, or any other system that has access to a bash-like shell.
-
Are familiar with launching and running commands in a terminal.
In this tutorial we will learn:

How to create a new account.
-
How to fund your account using friendbot.
-
How to follow payments to your account using curl and EventSource.
