EVM Subsquid Network API

warning

The EVM API of Subsquid Network is currently in beta. Breaking changes may be introduced in the future releases.

Subsquid Network API distributes the requests over a (potentially decentralized) network of workers. The main gateway URL now points at a router that provides URLs of workers that do the heavy lifting. Each worker has its own range of blocks that it serves. The recommended data retrieval procedure is as follows:

  1. Retrieve the dataset height from the router with GET /height.
  2. Query the router for an URL of a worker that has the data for the first block of the relevant range with GET /${firstBlock}/worker.
  3. Retrieve the data from the worker with POST /, making sure to set the "fromBlock" query field to ${firstBlock}.
  4. Exclude the received blocks from the relevant range by setting firstBlock to the value of header.number of the last received block plus one.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 until all the required data is retrieved.

Main URLs of EVM gateways are available on the Supported networks page.

Implementation examples:

Manually with cURL

Suppose we want data on Ethereum txs to vitalik.eth/0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045 from block 16_000_000. We begin by finding the main URL for the Ethereum Mainnet gateway on the Supported networks page. Then we have to:

  1. Verify that the dataset has reached the required height:

    $ curl https://v2.archive.subsquid.io/network/ethereum-mainnet/height

    Output

    18593441
  2. Get a worker URL

    $ curl https://v2.archive.subsquid.io/network/ethereum-mainnet/16000000/worker

    Output

    https://lm02.sqd-archive.net/worker/query/czM6Ly9ldGhlcmV1bS1tYWlubmV0
  3. Retrieve the data from the worker

    $ curl https://lm02.sqd-archive.net/worker/query/czM6Ly9ldGhlcmV1bS1tYWlubmV0 \
    -X 'POST' -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "fromBlock":16000000,
    "toBlock":18593441,
    "fields":{"transaction":{"hash":true}},
    "transactions":[{"to":["0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045"]}]
    }' | jq

    Note how the address in the transactions data request is lowercased.

    Output:

    [
    {
    "header": {
    "number": 16000000,
    "hash": "0x3dc4ef568ae2635db1419c5fec55c4a9322c05302ae527cd40bff380c1d465dd",
    "parentHash": "0x6f377dc6bd1f3e38b9ceb8c946a88c13211fa3f084622df3ee5cfcd98cc6bb16"
    },
    "transactions": []
    },
    // ...
    {
    "header": {
    "number": 16027977,
    "hash": "0x4b332878deb33e963b68c8bbbea60cbca72a88c297b6800eafa82baab497c166",
    "parentHash": "0x2b979d67d9b03394da336938ee0bcf5aedfdf87e1b5bd574d985aee749eb8b76"
    },
    "transactions": [
    {
    "transactionIndex": 96,
    "hash": "0xbaede248ec6fce28e9d874f69ea70359bea0107ce9144d6838898674d9d10c8c"
    }
    ]
    },
    // ...
    {
    "header": {
    "number": 16031419,
    "hash": "0x9cc48c9b4ad8dddb1de86a15e30a62ffd48cf9b72930930cfa5167c4e1685d0a",
    "parentHash": "0x4ec7b4562739032f51e70d26fe5129e571e2bf0348a744c1509f8205f4381696"
    },
    "transactions": []
    }
    ]
  4. Observe that we received the transactions up to and including block 16031419. To get the rest of the data, we find a worker who has blocks from 16031420 on:

    $ curl https://v2.archive.subsquid.io/network/ethereum-mainnet/16031420/worker

    Output:

    https://rb02.sqd-archive.net/worker/query/czM6Ly9ldGhlcmV1bS1tYWlubmV0

    We can see that this part of the dataset is located on another host.

  5. Retrieve the data from the new worker

    $ curl https://rb02.sqd-archive.net/worker/query/czM6Ly9ldGhlcmV1bS1tYWlubmV0 \
    -X 'POST' -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "fromBlock":16031420,
    "toBlock":18593441,
    "fields":{"transaction":{"hash":true}},
    "transactions":[{"to":["0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045"]}]
    }' | jq

    Output is similar to that of step 3.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the dataset height of 18593441 reached.

In Python
def get_text(url: str) -> str:
res = requests.get(url)
res.raise_for_status()
return res.text

def dump(
gateway_url: str,
query: Query,
first_block: int,
last_block: int
) -> None:
assert 0 <= first_block <= last_block
query = dict(query) # copy query to mess with it later

dataset_height = int(get_text(f'{gateway_url}/height'))
next_block = first_block
last_block = min(last_block, dataset_height)

while next_block <= last_block:
worker_url = get_text(f'{gateway_url}/{next_block}/worker')

query['fromBlock'] = next_block
query['toBlock'] = last_block
res = requests.post(worker_url, json=query)
res.raise_for_status()
blocks = res.json()

last_processed_block = blocks[-1]['header']['number']
next_block = last_processed_block + 1
for block in blocks:
print(json.dumps(block))

Data requests

warning

Addresses in all data requests must be in lowercase. All addresses in the responses will be in lowercase, too.

Logs

{
address: string[],
topic0: string[],
topic1: string[],
topic2: string[],
topic3: string[],
transaction: boolean
}

A log will be included in the response if it matches all the requests. An empty array matches no logs; omit all requests to match all logs. See EVM logs for a detailed description of data request fields.

Transactions

{
from: string[],
to: string[],
sighash: string[],
logs: boolean,
traces: boolean,
stateDiffs: boolean
}

A transaction will be included in the response if it matches all the requests. An empty array matches no transactions; omit all requests to match all transactions. See EVM transactions for a detailed description of data request fields.

Traces

{
type: string[],
createFrom: string[],
callFrom: string[],
callTo: string[],
callSighash: string[],
suicideRefundAddress: string[],
rewardAuthor: string[]
transaction: boolean,
subtraces: boolean
}

A trace will be included in the response if it matches all the requests. An empty array matches no traces; omit all requests to match all traces. See Traces for a detailed description of data request fields.

State diffs

{
address: string[],
key: string[],
kind: string[],
transaction: bool
}

A state diff will be included in the response if it matches all the requests. An empty array matches no state diffs; omit all requests to match all state diffs. See Storage state diffs for a detailed description of data request fields.

Data fields selector

A JSON selector of fields for the returned data items. Documented in the Field selectors section.
