Manuscript: A Guide to Blockchain Data Exploration

Introduction to Manuscript

This section introduces Manuscript as a tool for accessing and querying blockchain data, highlighting its ability to simplify the process.

Initializing Manuscript

1. Using the Init Command: Describes the initialization process of Manuscript and the local environment using the init command, allowing users to select their desired blockchain data and storage options.
2. Selecting Blockchain Data: Guides users through selecting specific blockchain data tables from the available options.
3. Choosing Target Storage: Explains the process of selecting a storage option for Manuscript to process data, highlighting PostgreSQL as an example.
4. Confirmation and Initialization: Outlines the final steps of initialization, confirming selections and triggering the setup of files and the Docker environment.

Monitoring and Accessing Job Status

1. Checking Job Deployment: Introduces the manuscript-cli list command to check the status of deployed jobs, providing an overview of job progress.
2. Viewing Job Logs: Explains the use of manuscript-cli logs command to access detailed logs for specific jobs, allowing for in-depth analysis of job execution.
3. GraphQL Interface: Guides users to the GraphQL address for querying the selected dataset, emphasizing the ability to select specific fields and execute queries.

Advanced Data Parsing Techniques

1. Introduction to Contract Parsing: Introduces the concept of parsing blockchain contract data for more complex analyses, emphasizing the need for advanced techniques.
2. Accessing the GitHub Repository: Directs users to the Manuscript GitHub repository, emphasizing the availability of example scripts for guidance.
3. Editing and Deploying: Explains the process of customizing the manuscript.yaml file and using the manuscript-cli deploy command for local deployment.
4. Accessing Decoded Data: Highlights the ability to access decoded contract data through the same GraphQL interface, providing a comprehensive approach to data analysis.

Job Management

1. Stopping Manuscript Jobs: Provides instructions on using the manuscript-cli stop command to halt running jobs, allowing users to manage active processes effectively.

In addition to the GraphQL interface, can also add the interactive interface of AI Chat to access data?

Did you mean the interface of using OpenAI, Gemini and other compatible AI models?

This is a great idea, @Lukisong82 . I will be very eager to work on this as soon as I close a few more of the existing issues with the CLI. Until then, making a guide maybe counter-productive as there will likely be frequent breaking changes and it will go out of date frequently. 🔥
