BAP transaction indexer

BAP-planaria is a Bitbus compatible Bitcoin Attestation Protocol indexer. It scans all BAP transactions and processes them into a global BAP state using the bitsocket.network servers.

NOTE: This is still work in progress and should be considered beta software. Issues / requests and PR's are welcome.

global installation

npm install -g bap-planaria

Set the environment variables. You must at least set the planaria token.

export BAP_PLANARIA_TOKEN=""

The token is a Planaria Token that can be created here: https://token.planaria.network/

And optionally overwrite the defaults for the database:

export BAP_MONGO_URL="mongodb://localhost:27017/bap-planaria"

Indexing BAP blocks can now be done by running

bap-planaria

If you want to run continuously and also listen to the mempool, run:

bap-planaria -a watch

It's also possible to get transactions directly from bitbus with the bap-planaria cli

bap-planaria -a get -t <txId>

Or run a query for at most 10 transactions

bap-planaria -a get -q '{"out.tape.cell":"1BAPSuaPnfGnSBM3GLV9yhxUdYe4vGbdMT"}' -p bob

The arguments to the bap-planaria cli are:

arg	Description
-a <action>	Action to call (index (default), watch, get)
-t <txId>	Transaction Id to search for. Only works together with -a get
-q <query>	JSON stringified query. Only works together with -a get
-p <parser>	Parser to use for the returned transaction (txo (default), bob). Only works together with -a get

local installation

git clone https://github.com/icellan/bap-planaria.git

BAP-planaria can run either with settings from a config file (config.json) or from environment variables.

config.json

{
  "token": "ey...",
  "mongoUrl": "mongodb://..."
}

environment

export BAP_PLANARIA_TOKEN="ey..."
export BAP_MONGO_URL="mongo://..."

run

To run the indexer once to index all blocks:

./start.sh

To run the indexer in watch mode, which also indexes all transactions in the mempool:

./watch.sh

testing

npm run test

or

npm run testwatch

Including in your own package or site

npm install bap-planaria

Make sure you set the environment variables before running any scripts:

export BAP_PLANARIA_TOKEN = '<planaria token>';
export BAP_MONGO_URL = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/bap-planaria';

Index all mined BAP transactions:

import { indexBAPTransactions } from 'bap-planaria/src/bap';

(async function() {
  await indexBAPTransactions();
})();

or, index all mined transactions + listen to the mempool:

import { watchBAPTransactions } from 'bap-planaria/src/watch';

(async function() {
  await watchBAPTransactions();
})();

You can also pass a custom query to the BAP scripts, overriding the default query that searches for BAP transactions.

import { watchBAPTransactions } from 'bap-planaria/src/watch';
import { BAP_BITCOM_ADDRESS } from 'bap-planaria/src/config';

(async function() {
  // this will only watch for new ID transactions
  await watchBAPTransactions({
    'out.s2': BAP_BITCOM_ADDRESS,
    'out.s3': 'ID'
  });
})();

Babel

Make sure babel is set up properly or that es6 is supported by your own package.
