I'm a student in IT Big Data, I'm currently working on a school project where I want to create a graph of all recent transaction. But can't find a good way to get the data correctly from the API anybody has an idea to do it ?

CodePudding user response：

My personal recommendation is to not use Etherscan, and instead to use ethers.js and an RPC provider like infura or alchemy - or if you're feeling ambitious, run your own node. Instantiate a provider and listen for the block event: https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/providers/provider/#Provider--events. If you want to listen for EIP-20 token transfers only, you can use the answer in this question: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/87643/how-to-listen-to-contract-events-using-ethers-js

Getting the data manually might seem more complicated, but it's actually more simple (and quicker/more customizable!) than polling the Etherscan API.
