Topic: Blockchain querying with mongodb (Read 2862 times)
do it.
Hi,
I am thinking of writing an opensource project similar to https://github.com/bitpay/insight that is based on mongodb .
It has the following features:
1. Backend written in python / tornado
2. Fetches blockdata from bitcoind and stores in mongodb ( Querying is easy and replication is provided)
3. Has simple UI for blockexplorer
4. Has UI for creating report for querying blockchain . for example :
User can enter query like :
"{Block: { age: { $lt: 25 } }"
Will generate a txt/UI report of blocks less than twenty five days older
"{Tx: {fees : {$gt: 0.001} }"
Will generate a txt/UI report for transactions with fess less than 0.001
I am thinking of feeding the input query directly into mongodb find function. Of course, more complex queries like mysql cannot be supported but this looks like a good start to me.
Let me know your thoughts.
