What data were you looking for? geth provides a JSON RPC interface. Ethereum is general purpose so you'll need to know how a particular contract works to get information out of it but some contracts adhere to standards like ERC-20.
Ethereum launched six years ago, by the way (not a decade).
- cryptica 5y agoDoes geth provide a basic search/querying feature? For example like searching for a list of transactions sent to and from a specific account. But doesn't geth require me to setup and sync my own Ethereum node from scratch? I heard it consumes 300GB minimum. It would be great if I could just query some random node on testnet for example for testing my service before I commit to launching a node.
- dboreham 5y agoThere are schemes for verifiable query services against the chain (e.g. VulcanizeDB) but most folks seem to just connect to someone else's node and hope it answers truthfully.
- cryptica 5y agoI feel that they should promote this more. Not everyone can afford to sync their own 300GB DB... Especially for testing. As a developer, I want to test things with someone else's backend before I even bother setting up my own.
