pow-co/boost-bmap-api

BMAP Planaria for building BoostPOW + B + MAP based Bitcoin apps.

bmap-api

This API is hosted publicly at https://b.map.sv

It is a Bitcoin transaction indexer and API for building 'BMAP' Bitcoin apps. It uses junglebus to crawl for transactions and transforms them with bmapjs. It runs two processes:

Crawler

A crawler and indexer that saves transaction data into a MongoDB database.

API

A REST API supporting BitQuery syntax.

{
  "find": {
    "MAP.app": "tonicpow"
  }
}

It then provides support for a number of known OP_RETURN protocols making queries nicer:

{
  "find": {
    "BITPIC.paymail": "satchmo@moneybutton.com"
  }
}

For a full list of what protocols are supported see bmapjs.com

It also makes working with the results from your frontend much friendlier

let res = await fetch('https://b.map.sv/q/...')
let j = res.json()
console.log('Got tx', j[0].tx.h, 'app:', j[0].MAP.app)

Socket

Using the same query syntax you can listen for changes:

var sock = {
  v: 3,
  q: {
    find: {
      'MAP.type': { $in: ['post', 'message'] },
    },
    sort: {
      'blk.t': -1,
    },
  },
}

var sock_b64 = btoa(JSON.stringify(sock))
var socket_url = 'https://b.map.sv/s/' + sock_b64

// socket
bmapSocket = new EventSource(socket_url)
bmapSocket.onmessage = function (e) {
  var res = JSON.parse(e.data)
  if (res.type === 'push') {
    // do something with res.data
  }
}

Install

Prerequisites

Docker & Docker-Compose

Run Locally

Install dependencies

yarn

Start the app (make sure your env vars are set first)

yarn start

Run in docker

Build the image

docker build -t bmap-api.

Start the app `bash docker-compose up

### Configuration

`config.js` hold config values.

Set the `from` value to the block to begin indexing.

#### Install MongoDB

To run locally you will need mongodb installed.

See their [installation guide](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation)

# Config

Set the following environmental variables:

- `MONGO_URL` A connection string to your mongo database. ex: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/bmap when running locally, or mongodb://mongo:27017/bmap from within a container.

# Run

```bash
node index

More Examples

MAP.app = TonicPow

BITPIC.paymail = satchmo@moneybutton.com

BITKEY.paymail = satchmo@moneybutton.com

With BitQuery you can search in all sorts of ways.

Records within the last 24 hours:

1. Set a timestamp in the expected format.

let timestamp = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000 - 86400)

2. Search for records since that timestamp:

{
  "v": 3,
  "q": {
    "blk.t": { "$gt": <timestamp> }
  }
}

BMAPjs

This API returns data in BMAP format which is a derivative of BOB: BMAPjs
