batch-export

batch-export is a tool to retrieve Ethereum event logs for specific contracts, particularly designed for Swarm's Postage Stamp contract on the Gnosis Chain. It fetches logs within a specified block range using the export command and saves them to a file.

Features

• Retrieve event logs for a specified contract address and block range.
• Handles large block ranges by querying in smaller chunks.
• Supports rate limiting for RPC requests.
• Saves retrieved logs to a specified output file (default: export.ndjson) in NDJSON format.
• Graceful shutdown on interrupt signals (Ctrl+C).

Requirements

• Go 1.24 or later

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ethersphere/batch-export.git
cd batch-export
make binary
# The binary will be located in the dist/ folder

Usage

The primary command is export.

./dist/batch-export export --help

./dist/batch-export export \
    --block-range-limit=10000 \
    --compress=true \
    --end=0 \
    --endpoint <YOUR_GNOSIS_RPC_ENDPOINT>

Flags

  -b, --block-range-limit uint32   Max blocks per log query (default 5)
  -c, --compress                   Compress to GZIP
      --end uint                   End block (optional, uses latest block if 0) (default 39810670)
  -e, --endpoint string            Ethereum RPC endpoint URL
  -h, --help                       help for export
  -m, --max-request int            Max RPC requests/sec (default 15)
  -o, --output string              Output file path (NDJSON) (default "export.ndjson")
      --start uint                 Start block (optional, uses contract start block if 0) (default 31306381)
  -v, --verbosity string           Log verbosity (silent, error, warn, info, debug) (default "info")

The produced NDJSON is consumed by batch-archive, which embeds it for use inside Bee.
