🦾 Getting Started

import { Flipside, Query, QueryResultSet } from "@flipsidecrypto/sdk";
// Initialize `Flipside` with your API key
const flipside = new Flipside(
"<YOUR_API_KEY>",
"https://node-api.flipsidecrypto.com"
);
// Parameters can be passed into SQL statements via simple & native string interpolation
const myAddress = "0x....";
// Create a query object for the `query.run` function to execute
const query: Query = {
sql: `select nft_address, mint_price_eth, mint_price_usd from flipside_prod_db.ethereum_core.ez_nft_mints where nft_to_address = LOWER('${myAddress}')`,
ttlMinutes: 10,
};
// Send the `Query` to Flipside's query engine and await the results
const result: QueryResultSet = await flipside.query.run(query);
// Iterate over the results
result?.records?.forEach((record) => {
const nftAddress = record.nft_address
const mintPriceEth = record.mint_price_eth
const mintPriceUSD = record.mint_price_usd
console.log(`address ${nftAddress} minted at a price of ${mintPriceEth} ETH or $${mintPriceUSD} USD`);
});

The Details

The Query Object
The Query object contains both the sql and configuration you can send to the query engine for execution.
type Query = {
// SQL query to execute
sql: string;
// The number of minutes to cache the query results
ttlMinutes?: number;
// An override on the query result cahce.
// A value of false will re-execute the query.
cached?: boolean;
// The number of minutes until your query run times out
timeoutMinutes?: number;
// The number of rows to return from the query result set.
// If not specified this defaults to 100k. A max of 1m rows/records
// will be cached and can be paged thru using the pageNumber parameter.
pageSize?: number;
// The page to retrieve cached query results from.
// The default (if not specified) is 1.
pageNumber?: number;
};
Let's create a query to retrieve all NFTs minted by an address:
const yourAddress = "<your_ethereum_address>";
const query: Query = {
sql: `select nft_address, mint_price_eth, mint_price_usd from flipside_prod_db.ethereum_core.ez_nft_mints where nft_to_address = LOWER('${myAddress}')`,
ttlMinutes: 60,
cached: true,
timeoutMinutes: 15,
pageSize: 1000,
pageNumber: 1
};
Now let's execute the query and retrieve the results.
const result: QueryResultSet = await flipside.query.run(query);
The results of this query will be cached for 60 minutes, given the ttlMinutes parameter.
The QueryResultSet Object
After executing a query the results are stored in a QueryResultSet object.
interface QueryResultSet {
// The server id of the query
queryId: string | null;
// The status of the query (`PENDING`, `FINISHED`, `ERROR`)
status: QueryStatus | null;
// The names of the columns in the result set
columns: string[] | null;
// The type of the columns in the result set
columnTypes: string[] | null;
// The results of the query
rows: Row[] | null;
// Summary stats on the query run (i.e. the number of rows returned, the elapsed time, etc)
runStats: QueryRunStats | null;
// The results of the query transformed as an array of objects
records: QueryResultRecord[] | null;
// If the query failed, this will contain the error
error:
| QueryRunRateLimitError
| QueryRunTimeoutError
| QueryRunExecutionError
| ServerError
| UserError
| UnexpectedSDKError
| null;
}
Let's iterate over the results from our query above. Our query selected nft_address, mint_price_eth, and mint_price_usd. We can access the returned data via the records parameter. The column names in our query are assigned as keys in each record object.
result?.records?.forEach((record) => {
const nftAddress = record.nft_address
const mintPriceEth = record.mint_price_eth
const mintPriceUSD = record.mint_price_usd
console.log(`address ${nftAddress} minted at a price of ${mintPriceEth} ETH or $${mintPriceUSD} USD`);
});
Rate Limits
Every API key is subject to a rate limit over a moving 5-minute window, as well as an aggregate daily limit. If the limit is reached in a 5-minute period, the SDK will exponentially backoff and retry the query up to the timeoutMinutes parameter set on the Query object. This feature is quite useful if leveraging the SDK client-side and your web application sees a large spike in traffic. Rather than using up your daily limit all at once, requests will be smoothed out over the day.y Rate limits can be adjusted per key/use case.
Client-Side Request Requirements
All API Keys correspond to a list of hostnames. Client-side requests that do not originate from the corresponding hostname will fail.
