Sui Enhances Data Access with GraphQL RPC and Indexer Beta
Sui has launched a public beta of its GraphQL RPC and General-purpose Indexer, marking a significant upgrade in blockchain data accessibility. The new system simplifies developer interactions with sui data, offering scalable and expressive tools for querying blockchain information.
GraphQL RPC introduces a high-level query language designed to boost developer productivity. Unlike traditional JSON-RPC, it supports declarative queries, joins, relationships, and advanced filtering. The beta includes a GraphQL RPC server with a typed schema for transactions and events, alongside a General-purpose Indexer that processes SUI checkpoints into a Postgres-compatible database.
Integration with an Archival Service enables historical data lookups, reducing the need for custom indexers. This upgrade positions Sui as a more developer-friendly platform, streamlining data access and interaction.
