Search & metadata

Search

Choose live filters, the Data Lake, or Typesense for how you read ledger records.

Search is how you read ledgers, balances, transactions, and identities already stored in Blnk.

There are two main ways to retrieve data from Blnk: Filter API and Data Lake.

Filter API

The Filter API is the main way to search and retrieve data from the ledger.

It retrieves ledgers, balances, transactions, and identities, and you compose the filters for the records you need.

Data Lake

The data lake is for custom SQL and large queries over ledger history. Insights and the Data Lake API run that work on a reporting copy, which keeps it off the database processing transactions.

Choose it for a period report, an investigation, or a question you write in SQL. It is available on managed instances and with an Enterprise license.
