The three ways to consume the Soldexer API
There are three ways to consume the Soldexer API:
- with pipes,
- with Squid SDK or
- with your own custom client (API Reference).
Here’s the comparison between the first two architectures:
| Pipes | Squid SDK | |
|---|---|---|
| Mental model | Box of LEGO bricks | A framework |
| Peripheral services (DB clients, GraphQL etc) | “Bring your own”, occasionally borrowing from Squid SDK | Opinionated comprehensive support |
| Real-time data handling | Yes | Yes |
| Data transform update without resyncing | Yes | No |
| Storing aggregations without the raw data (example: keeping a total DEx volume without keeping any temporally distributed data) | Yes, with partial loss of ability to update the transform | Yes |
| Hosted service | Not yet | Yes |
