💾 Install the SDK

Python 3.7 and above, is required to use shroomdk
If you don't already have an API Key mint one here.
pip install shroomdk

🦾 Getting Started

from shroomdk import ShroomDK
# Initialize `ShroomDK` with your API Key
sdk = ShroomDK("<YOUR_API_KEY>")
# Parameters can be passed into SQL statements
# via native string interpolation
my_address = "0x...."
sql = f"""
SELECT
nft_address,
mint_price_eth,
mint_price_usd
FROM ethereum.core.ez_nft_mints
WHERE nft_to_address = LOWER('{my_address}')
"""
# Run the query against Flipside's query engine
# and await the results
query_result_set = sdk.query(sql)
# Iterate over the results
for record in query_result_set.records:
nft_address = record['nft_address']
mint_price_eth = record['mint_price_eth']
mint_price_usd = record['mint_price_usd']
print(f"${nft_address} minted for {mint_price_eth}ETH (${mint_price_usd})")

The Details

Executing a Query
When executing a query the following parameters can be passed into the query method on the ShroomDK object:
Argument
Description
Default Value
sql
The sql string to execute
None (required)
ttl_minutes
The number of minutes to cache the query results
60
cached
An override on the query result cache. A value of false will re-execute the query.
True
timeout_minutes
The number of minutes until your query run times out
20
retry_interval_seconds
The number of seconds to wait between polls to the server
1
page_size
The number of rows/records to return
100,000
page_number
The page number to return (starts at 1)
1
Let's create a query to retrieve all NFTs minted by an address:
my_address = "0x...."
sql = f"""
SELECT
nft_address,
mint_price_eth,
mint_price_usd
FROM ethereum.core.ez_nft_mints
WHERE nft_to_address = LOWER('{my_address}')
LIMIT 100
"""
Now let's execute the query and retrieve the first 5 rows of the result set. Note we will set page_size to 5 and page_number to 1 to retrieve just the first 5 rows.
query_result_set = sdk.query(
sql,
ttl_minutes=60,
cached=True,
timeout_minutes=20,
retry_interval_seconds=1,
page_size=5,
page_number=1
)
Caching
The results of this query will be cached for 60 minutes, given the ttl_minutes parameter is set to 60.
📄 Pagination
If we wanted to retrieve the next 5 rows of the query result set simply increment the page_number to 2 and run:
query_result_set = sdk.query(
sql,
ttl_minutes=60,
cached=True,
timeout_minutes=20,
retry_interval_seconds=1,
page_size=5,
page_number=2
)
Note! This will not use up your daily query quota since the query results are cached (in accordance with the TTL) and we're not re-running the SQL just retrieving a slice of the overall result set.
All query runs can return a maximum of 1,000,000 rows and a maximum of 100k records can be returned in a single page.
More details on pagination can be found here.
Now let's examine the query result object that's returned.
The QueryResultSet Object
After executing a query the results are stored in a QueryResultSet object:
class QueryResultSet(BaseModel):
query_id: Union[str, None] = Field(None, description="The server id of the query")
status: str = Field(False, description="The status of the query (`PENDING`, `FINISHED`, `ERROR`)")
columns: Union[List[str], None] = Field(None, description="The names of the columns in the result set")
column_types: Union[List[str], None] = Field(None, description="The type of the columns in the result set")
rows: Union[List[Any], None] = Field(None, description="The results of the query")
run_stats: Union[QueryRunStats, None] = Field(
None,
description="Summary stats on the query run (i.e. the number of rows returned, the elapsed time, etc)",
)
records: Union[List[Any], None] = Field(None, description="The results of the query transformed as an array of objects")
error: Any
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.
for record in query_result_set.records:
nft_address = record['nft_address']
mint_price_eth = record['mint_price_eth']
mint_price_usd = record['mint_price_usd']
print(f"${nft_address} minted for {mint_price_eth}E ({mint_price_usd})USD")
Other useful information can be accessed on the query result set object such as run stats, i.e. how long the query took to execute:
started_at = query_result_set.run_stats.started_at
ended_at = query_result_set.run_stats.ended_at
elapsed_seconds = query_result_set.run_stats.elapsed_seconds
record_count = query_result_set.run_stats.record_count
print(f"This query took ${elapsed_seconds} seconds to run and returned {record_count} records from the database.")

🚦 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 back-off and retry the query up to the timeout_minutes parameter set when calling the query method.

🙈 Error Handling

The SDK implements the following errors that can be handled when calling the query method:
Query Run Time Errors
QueryRunRateLimitError
Occurs when you have exceeded the rate limit for creating/running new queries. Example:
from shroomdk.errors import QueryRunRateLimitError
try:
sdk.query(sql)
except QueryRunRateLimitError as e:
print(f"you have been rate limited: {e.message}")
QueryRunTimeoutError
Occurs when your query has exceeded the timeout_minutes parameter passed into the query method. Example:
from shroomdk.errors import QueryRunTimeoutError
try:
sdk.query(sql, timeout_minutes=10)
except QueryRunTimeoutError as e:
print(f"your query has taken longer than 10 minutes to run: {e.message}")
QueryRunExecutionError
Occurs when your query fails to compile/run due to malformed SQL statements. Example:
from shroomdk.errors import QueryRunExecutionError
try:
sdk.query(sql)
except QueryRunExecutionError as e:
print(f"your sql is malformed: {e.message}")
Server Error
ServerError - occurs when there is a server-side error that cannot be resolved. This typically indicates an issue with Flipside Crypto's query engine API. If the issue persists please contact support in the Flipside Crypto discord server.
from shroomdk.errors import ServerError
try:
sdk.query(sql)
except ServerError as e:
print(f"a server-side error has occurred: {e.message}")
User Error
UserError - occurs when you, the user, submit a bad request to the API. This often occurs when an invalid API Key is used and the SDK is unable to authenticate.
from shroomdk.errors import UserError
try:
sdk.query(sql)
except UserError as e:
print(f"a user error has occurred: {e.message}")
SDK Error
SDKError - this error is raised when a generic client-side error occurs that cannot be accounted for by the other errors. SDK level errors should be reported here as a Github Issue with a full stack-trace and detailed steps to reproduce.
from shroomdk.errors import SDKError
try:
sdk.query(sql)
except SDKError as e:
print(f"a client-side SDK error has occurred: {e.message}")
