Exporting the Blockchain

1. Install python 3.6.0+ https://www.python.org/downloads/

2. Install EOS node or get access to EOS node maintained by someone else (because running your own node is not so easy). Some docs:

• https://developers.eos.io/eosio-nodeos/docs/
• https://eosnode.tools/
• https://github.com/CryptoLions/EOS-MainNet

1. Make sure it downloaded the blocks that you need by executing in the terminal:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://localhost:8080/v1/chain/get_info \
  --header 'accept: application/json'

You can export blocks below last_irreversible_block_num, there is no need to wait until the full sync

1. Install EOS ETL:

   > pip install eos-etl
   

2. Export blocks, transactions and actions:

   > eosetl export_all --start 1 --end 499999  \
   --provider-uri http://api.main.alohaeos.com
   

   In case eosetl command is not available in PATH, use python -m eosetl instead.

   The result will be in the output subdirectory, partitioned in Hive style:

   output/blocks/start_block=00000000/end_block=00000099/blocks_00000000_00000099.csv
   output/blocks/start_block=00000100/end_block=00000199/blocks_00000100_=00000199.csv
   ...
   output/transactions/start_block=00000000/end_block=00000099/transactions_00000000_00000099.csv
   ...
   output/actions/start_block=00000000/end_block=00000099/actions_00000000_00000099.csv
   ...
   

Running in Docker

1. Install Docker https://docs.docker.com/install/

2. Build a docker image

   > docker build -t eos-etl:latest .
   > docker image ls
   

3. Run a container out of the image

   > MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker run -v $HOME/output:/eos-etl/output eos-etl:latest \
       export_blocks --max-workers 50 --start-block 30000000 \
       --end-block 30000100 --provider-uri http://your_eos_node:node_port \
       --blocks-output ./output/blocks.csv --transactions-output ./output/transactions.csv \
       --actions-output ./output/actions.csv
   

4. Run streaming to console or Pub/Sub

   > MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker build -t eos-etl:latest-streaming -f Dockerfile_with_streaming .
   > echo "Stream to console"
   > MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker run eos-etl:latest-streaming stream -p http://api.main.alohaeos.com --start-block 500000
   > echo "Stream to Pub/Sub"
   > MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker run -v /path_to_credentials_file/:/eos-etl/ --env GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/eos-etl/credentials_file.json eos-etl:latest-streaming stream -p http://api.main.alohaeos.com --start-block 500000 --output projects/your-project/topics/crypto_eos
   

5. Refer to https://github.com/blockchain-etl/blockchain-etl-streaming for deploying the streaming app to Google Kubernetes Engine.

Command Reference

• export_blocks
• get_block_range_for_date
• export_all
• stream

All the commands accept -h parameter for help, e.g.:

> python eosetl.py export_blocks --help
Usage: eosetl.py export_blocks [OPTIONS]

  Export blocks, transactions and actions.

Options:
  -s, --start-block INTEGER   Start block
  -e, --end-block INTEGER     End block  [required]
  -p, --provider-uri TEXT     The URI of the remote EOS node
  -w, --max-workers INTEGER   The maximum number of workers.
  --blocks-output TEXT        The output file for blocks. If not provided
                              blocks will not be exported. Use "-" for stdout
  --transactions-output TEXT  The output file for transactions. If not
                              provided transactions will not be exported. Use
                              "-" for stdout
  --actions-output TEXT       The output file for actions. If not provided
                              transactions will not be exported. Use "-"
                              for stdout
  --help                      Show this message and exit.

For the --output parameters the supported type is json. The format type is inferred from the output file name.

export_blocks

> python eosetl.py export_blocks --start-block 1 --end-block 500000 \
  --provider-uri http://api.main.alohaeos.com \
  --blocks-output blocks.json --transactions-output transactions.json --actions-output actions.json

Omit --blocks-output or --transactions-output or --actions-output options if you want to export only transactions/blocks/actions.

You can tune --max-workers for performance.

get_block_range_for_date

> python eosetl.py get_block_range_for_date --provider-uri http://api.main.alohaeos.com --date=2018-06-09

export_all

> python eosetl.py export_all --provider-uri http://api.main.alohaeos.com --start 2018-06-08 --end 2018-06-09

You can tune --export-batch-size, --max-workers for performance.

stream

> python eosetl.py stream --provider-uri http://api.main.alohaeos.com --start-block 500000

• This command outputs blocks and transactions to the console by default.
• Use --output option to specify the Google Pub/Sub topic where to publish blockchain data, e.g. projects/your-project/topics/eos_blockchain.
• The command saves its state to last_synced_block.txt file where the last synced block number is saved periodically.
• Specify either --start-block or --last-synced-block-file option. --last-synced-block-file should point to the file where the block number, from which to start streaming the blockchain data, is saved.
• Use the --lag option to specify how many blocks to lag behind the head of the blockchain. It's the simplest way to handle chain reorganizations - they are less likely the further a block from the head.
• You can tune --period-seconds, --batch-size, --max-workers for performance.
