Indexer

This endpoint facilitates the recovery and proper storage in Firebase of escrow-related information submitted to the Stellar Blockchain via external applications, bypassing the standard application.

Key Components

• External Transaction: This endpoint handles cases where the XDR generated by any endpoint of our REST API is signed and sent directly by external applications.

• Internal Queue: Information initially generated by the application is stored in an internal queue, awaiting association with a specific transaction identified by its hash (txHash).

• Firebase Storage: Once retrieved from the internal queue, the information is permanently stored in Firebase.

Roles Involved

• External Application: Signs and sends the XDR without using the standard endpoint (helper/send-transaction).

• Indexer: Responsible for retrieving information from the internal queue and storing it in Firebase upon receiving the transaction hash (txHash).

Endpoint Workflow

1. The XDR is obtained from any transaction (not signed) generated with any of the endpoints of our REST API.

2. The generated XDR is signed and sent externally (without using helper/send-transaction).

3. The external application provides the corresponding txHash.

4. The txHash is sent to indexer/update-from-txHash.

5. The endpoint retrieves information stored in the internal queue and saves it in Firebase.

Usage Example

• Request:

{
  "txHash": "your-txHash-value"
}

• Response:

The information associated with the provided txHash is successfully stored in Firebase, ensuring the integrity of the generated escrow.

Benefits of Usage

• Enables external integrations while maintaining information consistency.

• Prevents data loss when bypassing the standard workflow.

• Ensures secure and accurate storage in Firebase using the transaction hash.

This endpoint enhances the system's flexibility and robustness, ensuring all transactions, regardless of the method used, are adequately recorded in Firebase.
