Note: for the address type all hex characters are lower-cased. boolean type can have 2 values: True or False.

LIMITATIONS

  • In case the contract is a proxy, which forwards all calls to a delegate, interface detection doesn’t work, which means is_erc20 and is_erc721 will always be false for proxy contracts and they will be missing in the tokens table.
  • The metadata methods (symbol, name, decimals, total_supply) for ERC20 are optional, so around 10% of the contracts are missing this data. Also some contracts (EOS) implement these methods but with wrong return type, so the metadata columns are missing in this case as well.
  • token_transfers.value, tokens.decimals and tokens.total_supply have type STRING in BigQuery tables, because numeric types there can't handle 32-byte integers. You should use cast(value as FLOAT64) (possible loss of precision) or safe_cast(value as NUMERIC) (possible overflow) to convert to numbers.
  • The contracts that don't implement decimals() function but have the fallback function that returns a boolean will have 0 or 1 in the decimals column in the CSVs.

Exporting the Blockchain

If you'd like to have the blockchain data platform set up and hosted for you in AWS or GCP, get in touch with us here.

  1. Install python 3.5.3+ https://www.python.org/downloads/

  2. You can use Infura if you don't need ERC20 transfers (Infura doesn't support eth_getFilterLogs JSON RPC method). For that use -p https://mainnet.infura.io option for the commands below. If you need ERC20 transfers or want to export the data ~40 times faster, you will need to set up a local Ethereum node:

  3. Install geth https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Installing-Geth

  4. Start geth. Make sure it downloaded the blocks that you need by executing eth.syncing in the JS console. You can export blocks below currentBlock, there is no need to wait until the full sync as the state is not needed (unless you also need contracts bytecode and token details; for those you need to wait until the full sync).

  5. Install Ethereum ETL:

    > pip3 install ethereum-etl
  6. Export all:

    > ethereumetl export_all --help
    > ethereumetl export_all -s 0 -e 5999999 -b 100000 -p file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc -o output

    In case ethereumetl command is not available in PATH, use python3 -m ethereumetl instead.

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

    output/blocks/start_block=00000000/end_block=00099999/blocks_00000000_00099999.csv
    output/blocks/start_block=00100000/end_block=00199999/blocks_00100000_00199999.csv
    ...
    output/transactions/start_block=00000000/end_block=00099999/transactions_00000000_00099999.csv
    ...
    output/token_transfers/start_block=00000000/end_block=00099999/token_transfers_00000000_00099999.csv
    ...

Should work with geth and parity, on Linux, Mac, Windows. If you use Parity you should disable warp mode with --no-warp option because warp mode does not place all of the block or receipt data into the database https://wiki.parity.io/Getting-Synced

If you see weird behavior, e.g. wrong number of rows in the CSV files or corrupted files, check out this issue: blockchain-etl#28

Export in 2 Hours

You can use AWS Auto Scaling and Data Pipeline to reduce the exporting time to a few hours. Read this article for details https://medium.com/@medvedev1088/how-to-export-the-entire-ethereum-blockchain-to-csv-in-2-hours-for-10-69fef511e9a2

Usage: ethereumetl export_blocks_and_transactions [OPTIONS]

  Export blocks and transactions.

Options:
  -s, --start-block INTEGER   Start block
  -e, --end-block INTEGER     End block  [required]
  -b, --batch-size INTEGER    The number of blocks to export at a time.
  -p, --provider-uri TEXT     The URI of the web3 provider e.g.
                              file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc or
                              https://mainnet.infura.io
  -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
  -h, --help                  Show this message and exit.

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

export_blocks_and_transactions

> ethereumetl export_blocks_and_transactions --start-block 0 --end-block 500000 \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc \
--blocks-output blocks.csv --transactions-output transactions.csv

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

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

Blocks and transactions schema.

export_token_transfers

The API used in this command is not supported by Infura, so you will need a local node. If you want to use Infura for exporting ERC20 transfers refer to extract_token_transfers

> ethereumetl export_token_transfers --start-block 0 --end-block 500000 \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --batch-size 100 --output token_transfers.csv

Include --tokens <token1> --tokens <token2> to filter only certain tokens, e.g.

> ethereumetl export_token_transfers --start-block 0 --end-block 500000 \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --output token_transfers.csv \
--tokens 0x86fa049857e0209aa7d9e616f7eb3b3b78ecfdb0 --tokens 0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d

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

Token transfers schema.

export_receipts_and_logs

First extract transaction hashes from transactions.csv (Exported with export_blocks_and_transactions):

> ethereumetl extract_csv_column --input transactions.csv --column hash --output transaction_hashes.txt

Then export receipts and logs:

> ethereumetl export_receipts_and_logs --transaction-hashes transaction_hashes.txt \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --receipts-output receipts.csv --logs-output logs.csv

Omit --receipts-output or --logs-output options if you want to export only logs/receipts.

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

Upvote this feature request openethereum/parity-ethereum#9075, it will make receipts and logs export much faster.

Receipts and logs schema.

extract_token_transfers

First export receipt logs with export_receipts_and_logs.

Then extract transfers from the logs.csv file:

> ethereumetl extract_token_transfers --logs logs.csv --output token_transfers.csv

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

Token transfers schema.

export_contracts

First extract contract addresses from receipts.csv (Exported with export_receipts_and_logs):

> ethereumetl extract_csv_column --input receipts.csv --column contract_address --output contract_addresses.txt

Then export contracts:

> ethereumetl export_contracts --contract-addresses contract_addresses.txt \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --output contracts.csv

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

Contracts schema.

export_tokens

First extract token addresses from contracts.json (Exported with export_contracts):

> ethereumetl filter_items -i contracts.json -p "item['is_erc20'] or item['is_erc721']" | \
ethereumetl extract_field -f address -o token_addresses.txt

Then export ERC20 / ERC721 tokens:

> ethereumetl export_tokens --token-addresses token_addresses.txt \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --output tokens.csv

You can tune --max-workers for performance.

Tokens schema.

export_traces

Also called internal transactions. The API used in this command is not supported by Infura, so you will need a local Parity archive node (parity --tracing on). Make sure your node has at least 8GB of memory, or else you will face timeout errors. See this issue

> ethereumetl export_traces --start-block 0 --end-block 500000 \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/parity.ipc --batch-size 100 --output traces.csv

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

Traces schema.

export_geth_traces

Read Differences between geth and parity traces.csv

The API used in this command is not supported by Infura, so you will need a local Geth archive node (geth --gcmode archive --syncmode full --ipcapi debug). When using rpc, add --rpc --rpcapi debug options.

> ethereumetl export_geth_traces --start-block 0 --end-block 500000 \
--provider-uri file://$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --batch-size 100 --output geth_traces.json

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

extract_geth_traces

> ethereumetl extract_geth_traces --input geth_traces.json --output traces.csv

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

stream

> pip3 install ethereum-etl[streaming]
> ethereumetl stream --provider-uri https://mainnet.infura.io --start-block 500000
  • This command outputs blocks, transactions, logs, token_transfers to the console by default.
  • Entity types can be specified with the -e option, e.g. -e block,transaction,log,token_transfer,trace,contract,token.
  • Use --output option to specify the Google Pub/Sub topic where to publish blockchain data, e.g. projects/<your-project>/topics/bitcoin_blockchain. Data will be pushed to projects/<your-project>/topics/bitcoin_blockchain.blocks, projects/<your-project>/topics/bitcoin_blockchain.transactions etc. topics.
  • 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, --block-batch-size, --max-workers for performance.
  • Refer to blockchain-etl-streaming for instructions on deploying it to Kubernetes.

Stream blockchain data continually to Google Pub/Sub:

> export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path_to_credentials_file.json
> ethereumetl stream --start-block 500000 --output projects/<your-project>/topics/crypto_ethereum

Running Tests

> pip3 install -e .[dev,streaming]
> export ETHEREUM_ETL_RUN_SLOW_TESTS=True
> pytest -vv

Running Tox Tests

> pip3 install tox

Ethereum Classic Support

For getting ETC csv files, make sure you pass in the --chain classic param where it's required for the scripts you want to export. ETC won't run if your --provider-uri is Infura. It will provide a warning and change the provider-uri to https://ethereumclassic.network instead. For faster performance, run a client instead locally for classic such as parity chain=classic and Geth-classic.

Differences between geth and parity traces.csv

  • to_address field differs for callcode trace (geth seems to return correct value, as parity value of to_address is same as to_address of parent call);
  • geth output doesn't have reward traces;
  • geth output doesn't have to_address, from_address, value for suicide traces;
  • error field contains human readable error message, which might differ in geth/parity output;
  • geth output doesn't have transaction_hash;
  • gas_used is 0 on traces with error in geth, empty in parity;
  • zero output of subcalls is 0x000... in geth, 0x in parity;

Querying in Amazon Athena

  • Upload the files to S3:
> cd output
> aws s3 sync . s3://<your_bucket>/ethereumetl/export --region ap-southeast-1
CREATE DATABASE ethereumetl;
