Data Providers
If you want to access aptos blockchain data but don’t need it in real-time. We have a few options that will let you access this data using SQL or UIs for building dashboards. This type of data is often used for analytics since it allows for aggregations.
Review of data endpoints
Section titled “Review of data endpoints”Hitting the full node directly will give the latest data (will be missing historical unless it’s an archival full node) using REST API
Indexer layer on top of this will provide a GRPC transaction stream
On top of this transaction stream, we’ve built out some product logic tables that can be queried through GraphQL
Since the logic to parse out transaction is public, some vendors have implemented similar parsing logic to create a subset of tables and made them available to query.
SQL Tables
Section titled “SQL Tables”Indexer defines several processors that create different database tables.
Core tables
Section titled “Core tables”These are parsed directly from node API response, one option is to split it out into the following tables:
- Blocks - version, block height, epoch, timestamp
- Transactions - version, sender, entry function, gas
- Signatures - signature types, signer, fee payer address
- Events - type and data for events
We store data as table items, resources or modules
- (write set) changes - change index, change type, resource address
- Table items - table key, table handle, key (content and type), value (content and type)
- (move) resources - resource address, resource type, data
- (move) modules - bytecode for deployed modules
Vendors of off-chain data
Section titled “Vendors of off-chain data”Most of our data vendors only provide core datasets. A subset of vendors is listed below
Google bigquery public dataset
Section titled “Google bigquery public dataset”Provides data through google public data
We also have sample analytics queries using the above resources
We have a dashboard here: https://dune.com/aptos/aptos-chain-metrics-overview
Allium
Section titled “Allium”Data source for many downstream vendors such as defillama and rwa.xyz. Raw data is available: https://docs.allium.so/historical-data/supported-blockchains/move-ecosystem/aptos They also have transfers for stablecoins https://docs.allium.so/historical-data/stablecoins#stablecoin-metrics
Artemis
Section titled “Artemis”Provides topline metrics as well as chart builder
Nansen
Section titled “Nansen”Provides topline metrics with additional functionality with account.
Sentio
Section titled “Sentio”They have a guide here: https://docs.sentio.xyz/docs/aptos Data is found in data source -> external project -> sentio/aptos-overview They also provide stack tracing of transactions
RWA.xyz
Section titled “RWA.xyz”Data can be found here: https://app.rwa.xyz/networks/aptos You’ll need to make an account to access stablecoin details.
Flipside
Section titled “Flipside”Has pivoted from dashboard vendor to more of a vibe coding tool. https://flipsidecrypto.xyz/home/
Other vendors
Section titled “Other vendors”We also have some partners who target more enterprise use cases
