Functions Data Sources

Updated on
Aug 28, 2025

Overview

Each function execution receives parameters with two main fields:


  • params.metadata — an object containing metadata about the batch and network.
  • params.data — the dataset itself. The shape of data depends on the selected dataset type and chain client's structure for the given data. We do not modify the structure of the underlying data.

Function Metadata Properties

Functions receive streamlined metadata focused on execution context:

Function Metadata Properties
PropertyTypeDescriptionExample
batch_end_rangeintegerEnding range of batches in a dataset33844813
batch_start_rangeintegerStarting range of batches in a dataset33844813
datasetstringType of dataset"block_with_receipts"
networkstringRelevant blockchain network"b3-mainnet"

Function Parameters Example

{
"params": {
"data": {
// Dataset content structure varies by dataset type
// and maintains the original format from the data source
},
"metadata": {
"batch_end_range": 33844813,
"batch_start_range": 33844813,
"dataset": "block_with_receipts",
"network": "b3-mainnet"
}
}
}

Note: Function metadata contains only essential batch and network information, unlike stream metadata which includes additional configuration and delivery options.

Data Schema Information
Select a blockchain type below to view the relevant data schemas and payload structures specific to that chain type. Each tab contains detailed information about supported dataset types and their JSON specifications.

Dataset Types (EVM)

Block

The data returned is an array of block objects as returned by eth_getBlockByNumber. The Block schema models the structure of individual blocks on a chain, including fields like hash, number, nonce, and other relevant block data.

Additionally, it supports configuration options for re-org handling and batch sizes, allowing for customized data management and retrieval.

Note: Please review the chain specific documentation for the RPC method indicated above for more details about that chain's expected payload shape.

The data returned is an array of arrays, each containing receipt objects as returned by eth_getBlockReceipts. The Receipts schema corresponds to transaction receipts, focusing solely on transactions and excluding block details. These receipts serve as proof of transaction execution, detailing outcomes and specifics like gas usage.

Block with Receipts

The data returned is an array of objects containing a composite dataset with:


The Block with Receipts schema represents comprehensive details on individual blocks and their transaction receipts. These receipts contain details such as the transaction status (successful or failed), gas utilized, value transferred, logs generated, and more.

Logs

The data returned is an array of arrays of log objects, as they appear within the logs array in transaction receipts. The Logs data schema corresponds to event logs generated by smart contract transactions, documenting significant events, function calls, or other relevant activities occurring within smart contracts. This data is associated with the eth_getLogs JSON-RPC method, providing insights on smart contract interactions per block.

Note: Please review the chain specific documentation for the RPC method indicated above for more details about that chain's expected payload shape.

Transactions

The data returned is an array of arrays of transaction objects, as they appear in the transactions array of block data. The Transactions data schema narrows data down to focus on transaction details, similar to each transaction object you would get when using the eth_getTransactionByHash method. It utilizes transaction hashes, returned from a method like eth_getBlockByNumber, to loop over each transaction hash and return its transaction object. This makes it easy to look up detailed transaction information.

Traces (debug_traceBlock)

The data returned is an array of arrays of trace data as returned by debug_traceBlock. The Traces (debug_trace) data source provides a granular, step-by-step look at transaction executions, including internal calls and state changes, which is critical for debugging and optimizing smart contracts.

Note: Please review the chain specific documentation for the RPC method indicated above for more details about that chain's expected payload shape.

Traces (trace_block)

The data returned is an array of arrays of trace data as returned by trace_block. The Traces (trace_block) data source provides a granular, step-by-step look at transaction executions, including internal calls and state changes, which is critical for debugging and optimizing smart contracts. This data source is based off the trace_block and trace_transaction RPC methods and is only served by OpenEthereum & Erigon blockchain node clients.

Block with Receipts + debug_traces

The data returned is an array of objects containing a composite dataset with:


  • block
  • receipts
  • traces (from debug_traceBlock)

If you want to retrieve an all-in-one data source for backfilling historical blockchain data, a data schema like Block with Receipts and debug_trace can retrieve block and transaction receipts, along with step-by-step transaction execution traces and internal transactions. This data source uses the eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getBlockReceipts, and debug_traceBlock RPC methods.

Note: Please review the chain specific documentation for the RPC method indicated above for more details about that chain's expected payload shape.

Block with Receipts + trace_block

The data returned is an array of objects containing a composite dataset with:


  • block
  • receipts
  • traces (from trace_block)

NOTE: This data source is an alternative to the Block with Receipts & debug_trace schema above. It utilizes the trace_transaction RPC method from Erigon, instead of using the debug API from Geth.

If you want to backfill historical blockchain data, a data schema like Block with Receipts and trace_block, is one solution. This data source uses the trace_transaction RPC method to retrieve transaction execution traces and internal transactions along with block and transaction receipt information using eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getBlockReceipts RPC methods.
