Terminology
- SubQuery Project (where the magic happens): A definition (
@subql/cli
) of how a SubQuery Node should traverse and aggregate a projects network and how the data should be transformed and stored to enable useful GraphQL queries. - SubQuery Node (where the work is done): A package (
@subql/node
) that will accept a SubQuery project definiton, and run a node that constantly indexes a connected network to a database. - SubQuery Query Service (where we get the data from): A package (
@subql/query
) that interacts with the GraphQL API of a deployed SubQuery node to query and view the indexed data. - GraphQL (how we query the data): A query langage for APIs that is specifically suited for flexible graph based data - see graphql.org.
