Downloading with the Goldsky CLI and Docker

You can always install and use the Goldsky CLI, but in this document we're going to use a Docker image to let you get up and running without directly installing the Goldsky CLI.

Syncing Data with Docker and the Goldsky CLI

We're assuming you already have Docker installed, and if you do, all you need to do is run the following command in your terminal:

docker run -v $(pwd):/var/opt/indexed-xyz -it goldsky/indexed.xyz:latest goldsky indexed sync decoded-logs --data-version 1.2.0

If you're using an Apple Silicon system, or see an error like docker: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries., then try adding --platform linux/x86_64 like so:

docker run --platform linux/x86_64 -v $(pwd):/var/opt/indexed-xyz -it goldsky/indexed.xyz:latest goldsky indexed sync decoded-logs --data-version 1.2.0

This will start the Goldsky CLI, and prompt you for a contract address to start downloading data for. If you're not sure where to start, a lot of the examples use the contract address for the Bored Ape Yacht Club, 0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d.

Data is downloaded into the ./data directory for you to use. If you want to get started with querying the data without installing anything more, check out our DuckDB example.

One benefit of downloading the data this way is that it will pre-filter the downloaded data to include only data for the contract you are interested in. As you will see in the DuckDB example, we're often filtering for a specific address because other download methods will download more data than just a single contract, so the filter is necessary.
