Approach 1: Simple polling script
Suitable for low-frequency monitoring or one-off analytics.Approach 2: Historical backfill with pagination
Fetch all events from genesis (or a start block) in paginated chunks:Approach 3: Persistent database index
For production dashboards, store events in a database as they arrive.Schema example (PostgreSQL)
Indexer script
Query account balances from indexed data
Using the block explorer REST API
For simple lookups without running your own indexer, use the REST API:Tips for production indexers
- Checkpoint your progress: Store the last indexed block in the database to resume after restarts
- Handle reorgs: On Autheo Chain, CometBFT finality means there are no reorgs — one confirmation is sufficient
- Use WebSocket subscriptions for real-time indexing, with HTTP fallback for historical backfills
- Rate limit awareness: Public endpoints have rate limits; implement retry with backoff
- Deduplicate events: Use
(tx_hash, log_index)as a unique key to prevent duplicates from re-indexing
