Algorand Indexer Sync Limit
post by abaschkim on Feb 23, 2022
Hi Algorand Community.
I am currently working on a data pipeline around the Algorand blockchain. To retrieve the data from the blockchain, I was looking into the Indexer REST API. However, the indexer populates a Postgres with a large amount of data. Is there some way to limit the Indexer to a certain date in the past and sync the data from there on?
As I am writing new transactions found on the blockchain to a Kafka stream, would it also be possible to retrieve the latest transactions from the Algod REST API?
Thanks for your advice!

Not out of the box
If you only need the basic transaction without the extra information the indexer provides, you can just directly query blocks to the Algod REST API.
