etheralley-core-api

The core rest api for the EtherAlley platform

Local Setup

1. Download Go v18.x

2. Download Docker

3. Acquire API keys for communicating with various blockchains. e.g. Alchemy

4. Acquire an API key for communicating with subgraphs on TheGraph

5. Start the Mongo database in a docker container

    make docker-mongo
   

6. Start the Redis cache in a docker container

    make docker-redis
   

7. Add a file named .env in the root of the project with the following environment variables. Anything with <REPLACE> must be replaced with the keys acquired in the previouse steps. ETHEREUM_MAIN_URI, ETHEREUM_SECONDARY_URI and ALCHEMY_ETHEREUM_URI can all point to the same uri on local and things should still behave normally.
