From September 26-28, 2023, in Madrid, Spain, BlockEden.xyz unveiled the Soroban Indexer and GraphQL at Stellar's annual Meridian conference. We were delighted to showcase our innovations at this esteemed event. Below is our pitch deck for your perusal.
In modern software development, building robust APIs is crucial. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) serve as the key for communication and data exchange between different software systems, and an API that is easy to use and test can greatly accelerate the development process. We are excited to announce that we have introduced a brand new feature for Aptos - Aptos REST Playground. This is a high-availability API toolkit based on Aptos development, designed to assist you in building Aptos applications faster and better.
Aptos REST Playground is an interactive Web3 application designed to assist developers in exploring, testing, and understanding the Aptos API with ease. It provides an intuitive Swagger-based interactive interface that allows you to construct and send REST requests, view responses, and test to analyze data.
This tool enables Aptos developers to gain a better understanding of Aptos functionality and build exceptional Aptos applications more quickly and efficiently.
Aptos REST Playground is a high-performance REST API customized specifically for Aptos developers by Blockeden.xyz. It aims to provide the following advantages to Aptos developers:
Aptos REST Playground allows you to conduct interactive API testing without leaving your browser. It is an interactive application built on Swagger. You can construct and customize requests, view real-time responses, and make adjustments as needed. This greatly simplifies the process of API testing and debugging.
You can directly view the data in the API responses within Aptos REST Playground, without the need to write additional code or use third-party tools. This makes it easier for you to comprehend the information returned by the API, facilitating the development of better applications.
The user interface of Aptos REST Playground is highly intuitive, requiring no complex setup or configuration. Whether you are an experienced developer or a beginner, you can easily get started and use it effectively.
Enter our API marketplace and select the Aptos card:
Inside the Aptos REST Playground interface, locate the Test REST chain API where you can see that we have integrated all the interfaces required for Aptos development:
Here, you don't need any additional configuration; our playground is ready to use out of the box. Taking Get Account as an example, we will show you how to use Aptos REST Playground:
/account/{address} table; we have preconfigured some parameters for you. Of course, you can also set your own parameters.Try it out button, and you can access the interface using either our default parameters or any information you set yourself. You will immediately receive the data you need. Pay special attention to the data with an HTTP Code of 200; it will be your primary focus. With this data, you can analyze any Aptos data request.
Sometimes, to test the speed and stability of the product, you may want to build a set of testing code on the frontend yourself. This is allowed and supported by us.
Before doing so, you need to first locate your BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY, which can be found at https://blockeden.xyz/dash:
If you haven't created your own BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY yet, you can still use the public API key we provide: 8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD.
Now, let's create our own simple testing code based on React and the Aptos REST API:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function App() {
const [data, setData] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const address = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000dead';
const apiEndpoint = `https://api.blockeden.xyz/aptos/8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD/v1/accounts/${address}`;
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch(apiEndpoint, {
method: 'get',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
}
const result = await response.json();
setData(result);
} catch (error) {
console.error('API Request Error:', error);
}
};
fetchData();
}, []);
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Aptos Indexer GraphQL Example</h1>
{data ? (
<pre>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</pre>
) : (
<p>Loading...</p>
)}
</div>
);
}
export default App;
We also support cURL testing:
curl -L -X GET 'https://api.blockeden.xyz/aptos/8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD/v1/accounts/0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000dead' \\
-H 'Accept: application/json'
Aptos REST Playground is a powerful development tool for Aptos, designed to simplify the process of Aptos development and testing. We hope it provides developers with a better working experience and contributes to the creation of exceptional applications. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your attention!
We are excited to announce some great news to the community: After a period of development, we have launched a GraphQL playground based on the Aptos API. This is designed to assist you in building Aptos applications faster and better.
It is widely known that in today's world of software development, building efficient, flexible, and scalable APIs is of paramount importance. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) serve as the bridge for communication and data exchange between different software systems, making well-designed APIs crucial for the success of applications. GraphQL has already become the preferred tool for many developers in building flexible and powerful APIs.
Today, we are thrilled to announce Aptos Indexer GraphQL, a high-performance GraphQL framework designed specifically for Aptos developers. It is aimed at simplifying the development and management of Aptos APIs while delivering outstanding performance and scalability.
First, let's take a look at what GraphQL is all about. GraphQL is a query language and runtime environment for APIs that allows clients to precisely specify the data they need, instead of receiving data in fixed formats like traditional REST APIs. This flexibility makes GraphQL particularly well-suited for building client-driven applications, such as single-page applications (SPAs) and mobile apps.
The core idea of GraphQL is "only get the data you need." Clients can retrieve multiple resources through a single request and specify the fields they need for each resource. This reduces the issues of over-fetching or under-fetching data, thereby improving network efficiency.
Aptos Indexer GraphQL is a high-performance GraphQL API tailor-made for Aptos developers. It aims to provide the following advantages to Aptos developers:
Simplified development process
Aptos Indexer GraphQL simplifies the API development process by offering a clear and intuitive API definition language and tools. Developers can easily define data types, queries, mutations, and resolvers, making API construction highly intuitive.
Outstanding performance
Aptos Indexer GraphQL is designed as a high-performance framework. It utilizes modern data-loading techniques to ensure that only necessary database queries are executed, thereby reducing response times and enhancing performance.
Scalability
Aptos Indexer GraphQL can meet your needs regardless of the scale of your application. It supports a modular architecture, allowing for easy addition of new features and data types.
Powerful utilities
Aptos Indexer GraphQL provides a set of GraphQL-based testing tools, including GraphiQL, which allows you to interactively validate the required data in real-time, making it easier for you to develop, test, and maintain the API.
First, select the Aptos Indexer service in our API marketplace:
blockeden.xyz api marketplace
Then, copy your BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY at https://blockeden.xyz/dash:
BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY
After receiving a success message, you can start using the Aptos Indexer GraphQL service.
If you haven't created a BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY yet, you can still use the public API key: 8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD.
Here is a simple example of using React to connect to the Aptos Indexer GraphQL service:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function App() {
const [data, setData] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const apiEndpoint = 'https://api.blockeden.xyz/aptos/indexer/8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD/v1/graphql';
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch(apiEndpoint, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
query: `
query {
block_metadata_transactions(limit: 2) {
block_height
}
}
`,
}),
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
}
const result = await response.json();
setData(result.data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('GraphQL Request Error:', error);
}
};
fetchData();
}, []);
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Aptos Indexer GraphQL Example</h1>
{data ? (
<pre>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</pre>
) : (
<p>Loading...</p>
)}
</div>
);
}
export default App;
