API & SQL Access

AnyBlock Analytics (eth.events) offers access to POA core and Sokol testnet through ElasticSearch and the ability to query a SQL Database.

1) Go to https://account.anyblock.tools/auth/login/ and sign up for a free account.

2) You will receive an API key and SQL username/password.

ElasticSearch

• Your API key is used to replace $mytoken in standard queries.

• Queries use the poa eth.events endpoint:

  • Core: https://api.eth.events/ethereum/poa/core/es/
  • Sokol Testnet: https://api.eth.events/ethereum/poa/sokol/es/
• Example Queries are located here: https://docs.anyblockanalytics.com/en/latest/elastic/example-queries/index.html
• Documentation regarding ElasticSearch API calls is available here: https://docs.anyblockanalytics.com/en/latest/elastic/index.html

For example, this curl query will show us data about the last 2 blocks.

curl -X POST \
https://api.eth.events/ethereum/poa/core/es/block/search/ \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer $mytoken' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "sort": {
    "number.num": "desc"
  },
  "size": 2
}'
