Graph Node Integration

Graph Node can ingest blockchain data using two different APIs:

• Ethereum JSON RPC found in EVM-based chains. See the requirements and how to get started on the page below.

  Graph Node EVM JSON RPC API Integration Details and Cookbook

• Firehose gRPC. Firehose is a blockchain data indexing solution using a files-based and streaming-first approach. Specific documentation for integrators is here.

  • If the chain does not expose an EVM JSON-RPC API, the integration should start with a Firehose instrumentation of the underlying node. StreamingFast’s documentation is a great start.
  • Firehose instrumentation is always recommended, as that’s a requirement for substreams.

I'd recommend starting with the EVM JSON RPC approach for subgraph support. Here are the requirements and a cookbook for a quick integration test (with an example contract and subgraph): https://www.notion.so/thegraphfoundation/Graph-Node-EVM-JSON-RPC-API-Integration-Details-and-Cookbook-3328df9ec6044b2fa4c08c50061d1766
