How to index Etherlink blockchain data

Stream Etherlink event logs, transactions, and blocks from the SQD Portal in two lines of code. The example below uses the public endpoint, no API key required for development.

Frequently asked questions

How do I index Etherlink blockchain data?

Use the SQD Portal API at portal.sqd.dev/datasets/etherlink-mainnet or the open-source Squid SDK. Both stream Etherlink blocks, transactions, and event logs from historical archives. The free tier supports development; paid Portal deployments cover production workloads with SLA-backed latency.

Is the Etherlink API free?

Yes. SQD provides a free public Portal endpoint for Etherlink with no API key required. For higher rate limits, dedicated infrastructure, and SLA-backed uptime, see the SQD Pricing page.

What Etherlink data tables does SQD provide?

SQD indexes 3 data tables for Etherlink: blocks, transactions, logs. Each table is decoded, validated at ingestion, and queryable through the Portal API.

Does SQD support real-time Etherlink data?

Etherlink historical and recent data is available through SQD's archival layer. Real-time streaming for Etherlink is on the roadmap, request priority via the SQD contact form.

What's the difference between SQD and an RPC node for Etherlink?

An RPC node serves raw, unvalidated Etherlink data limited to recent state. SQD's Portal indexes the full Etherlink history, decodes it into queryable tables, validates every block at ingestion, and serves it through a typed SDK, no node operations required.

Can I self-host Etherlink indexing with SQD?

Yes, the Squid SDK is open-source under the GPLv3 license. You can run your own indexer against the SQD Network or the Portal, or deploy on SQD Cloud for fully managed hosting.
