Introduction

Constellations is a high-performance and real-time indexer developed by Fabien Penso originally for Stargaze and now for multiple Cosmos chains. Constellations is currently used by Stargaze for its main website to display data in the fastest way possible.

Constellations indexes blocks, transactions, messages and events and is able to index any Cosmos chain. It also indexes off-chain data like IPFS NFTs to store width, height, content_type and content_length as well as NFT metadata like traits and automatically calculate rarity. It also stores Stargaze specific informations like Stargaze names.

Constellations is:

  1. A public facing website available at www.constellations.zone.

  2. A set of API to fetch data Constellations has indexed. This API is available over GraphQL and self-generated GraphQL documentation is enabled.

You should already know about GraphQL to use Constellations. You can read more about GraphQL here.

GraphQL queries

You'll most likely be interested in transactions, messages and events.

Available nodes

As of now, I'm indexing Stargaze mainnet, Stargaze testnet, DYDX mainnet, Noble mainnet, and Neutron mainnet. This list is subject to change.

How is it built?

Constellations is built entirely in Rust, backed with Posgresql and hosted on bare metal servers for optimum performance. It fetches blocks live from the blockchain over websockets, and parse them instantly.

It ran fine on a single server, but we wanted to have redundancy to avoid downtimes. These days it manages way over 10 million requests per day.

Safety

While I try to minimize bugs and issues, Constellations sometimes (but rarily) stops indexing, or has an indexing issue which means it does not reflect the blockchain data. It is highly recommended to use Stargaze RPC servers to verify information if you are moving tokens. For example, if you want to send STARS to a given Stargaze name, you should use the RPC server to get the STARS address associated with that given name, and not Constellations which could lead to sending STARS to an old associated address if the indexer stopped.

Timestamps

All timestamps you get are UTC and don't include timezone.

User Agent

Add a way to contact you in the User-Agent header in case I need to get in touch with you if you are making too many requests.

Throttling

There is no throttling in place for now but will be soon. Please don't hammer the server with too many calls.

Contributing to this documentation

This documentation is available on GitHub and issues and feature requests can be posted on the GitHub issue tracker. Please consider opening a pull request.

I can't find how to fetch specific data

Create an issue with as many details as possible, contract type, information you want and why you want to fetch it.

Pagination

Endpoints use both types pagination. When data isn't changing often, it uses offset-based pagination, when data is changing rapidly it uses cursor-based pagination.

The following is using offset pagination:

  • collections
  • names
  • tokens

The following is using cursor pagination:

  • events
  • sales

Collections

Query

query Collections($limit: Int, $sortBy: CollectionSortBy, $offset: Int, $tokenOwnerAddr: String, $creatorAddr: String) {
  collections(limit: $limit, sortBy: $sortBy, offset: $offset, tokenOwnerAddr: $tokenOwnerAddr, creatorAddr: $creatorAddr) {
    collections {
      image
      description
      tokensCount
      website
      createdAt
      collectionAddr
      name
      mintedAt
    }
    limit
    offset
    total
  }
}

Variables

{
  "limit": 2,
  "sortBy": null,
  "offset": null,
  "tokenOwnerAddr": null,
  "creatorAddr": null
}

Available sorting

  • TOKENS_COUNT_ASC: Sort by the smallest amount of tokens
  • TOKENS_COUNT_DESC: Sort by the highest amounf of tokens
  • MINTED_AT_ASC: Sort by the least recent minted collection time
  • MINTED_AT_DESC: Sort by the most recent minted collection time
  • VOLUME_24H_DESC: Sort by the past 24H sales volumes
  • VOLUME_7D_DESC: Sort by the past 7 days sales volumes

get all collections

GraphQL will have all internal attribute documentation.

query Collections {
  collections {
    collections {
      name
      mintedAt
    }
  }
}

  collections(limit: $collectionsLimit, sortBy: $sortBy) {
    collections {

      tokensCount

Contracts

Contracts contains informations about deployed contracts.

query Contracts {
  contracts {
    contractAddr
    contractType
    contractInfo
    contractCodeId
    contractVersion
    contractLabel
    blocked
    blockHeight
    createdAt
    lastErrorAt
    updatedAt
  }
}

contract at a given address

query Contract {
  contract(address: "stars13qd5kyn3larzjqm86ywyfw7tglnrmraww4suc0nnc668kskhspesem9ssq") {
      contractAddr
      contractType
      contractInfo
      contractCodeId
      contractVersion
      contractLabel
      blocked
      blockHeight
      createdAt
      lastErrorAt
      updatedAt
    
  }
}

Events

Events contains all blockchain cosmwasm events, mints, airdrops, sales. You have to know what events you're looking for, or what contract types. Unless they're very noisy and useless, all cosmwasm events are saved.

If you are publishing a new contract, using events and attributes is the best way to ensure this will be indexed by Constellations.

For example, the following get all events related to the pegasus contract, order by block height DESC (most recent event first):

query Events {
  events(
    contractFilters: [{ contractType: "crates.io:pegasus", events: [] }]
    sortBy: BLOCK_HEIGHT_DESC
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        eventName
        action
        data
        createdAt
      }
    }
  }
}

Try it out live on explorer

Or another example for badge-hub contracts:

query Events {
  events(
    contractFilters: [{ contractType: "crates.io:badge-hub", events: [] }]
    sortBy: BLOCK_HEIGHT_DESC
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        eventName
        action
        data
        createdAt
      }
    }
  }
}

Try it out live on explorer

This will show all wasm-fair-burn for the badge-hub contract:

query Events {
  events(
    contractFilters: [
      {
        contractType: "crates.io:badge-hub"
        events: [{ name: "wasm-fair-burn" }]
      }
    ]
    sortBy: BLOCK_HEIGHT_DESC
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        eventName
        action
        data
        createdAt
      }
    }
  }
}

get all burns

This will get all burns for both the sg-721 contracts, it will not include other contracts like imago contracts. You have to add contracts specifically if you want others.

query Burns($filters: [ContractFilter!], $dataFilters: [DataFilter!]) {
  events(contractFilters: $filters, dataFilters: $dataFilters) {
    edges {
      node {

        typeUrl
        data
        blockHeight
      }
    }
  }
}

Filtering messages on attributes

You can filter on anything you see from the data field using jsonpath. Please note the value has to be including the type, for if you want to filter based on a String value use "\"value\"", for Integer use "14".

query MessagesFundRenewalForTokenId {
  messages(
    cosmwasmMethods: ["fund_renewal"]
    attributeFilters: {operator: AND, filters: [{path: ["$.msg.fund_renewal.token_id"], value: "\"allegedly\"", operator: EQUAL}]}
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        cosmwasmMethod
        data
        blockHeight

Transactions

Transactions contains all blockchain transactions

For example, the following gets all transactions related to a specific transaction hash (Note: a hash can happen multiple times, to ensure you get the right one you have to check the block_height as well).

query Transactions {
  transactions (
    hashes: ["000B1766A13ABE292D7CB861E9BA977E3C4E8B73F15A9F7CB01243FBE3963213"]
