This update adds the Aptos Indexer API. This allows you to efficiently query Aptos network data and quickly retrieve the data you need through various query options.
1. Key Features and Benefits
The Aptos Indexer API indexes Aptos network data in a structured format for fast searching.
- Fast and efficient data retrieval: Process complex queries quickly using indexed data.
- Clear schema definition: Improves API readability and reduces errors.
- Cost-effective data usage: Retrieve nested data in a single request.
2. How is it different from Aptos Node API?
Aptos Node API and Aptos Indexer API differ in data access methods and usage. Check the information below and use the service that fits your needs!
- Node API: Suitable for real-time data queries, provides the latest state information by communicating directly with nodes.
- Indexer API: Allows quick searching of data that meets specific conditions through indexed data.
3. What's the difference from the Indexer API provided by the Aptos Foundation?
The Indexer API provided by the Aptos Foundation has Rate Limit restrictions, but Nodit hosts the Indexer API independently to provide an environment where you can use it without Rate Limit restrictions.
- Labs-Hosted Indexer API: Aptos Indexer API provided by the Aptos Foundation, with a Rate Limit of 5,000 Requests in 5 minutes.
- Self-Hosted Indexer API: Requires hosting the Indexer API yourself, which can be cumbersome to set up and manage, but once set up, you can use it without Rate Limits.
