Unable to Sync Historical data in the new Streams API

Moralis General
#1

Does the new Streams API have anything similar to sync_historical that was earlier in Syncs?

#2

streams API donā€™t have now a way to sync historical data

#3

Will it be introduced in the near future? Itā€™s really essential for us. Weā€™ve built most of our platformā€™s functionality relying on that and weā€™re launching in 20 days.

#4

I donā€™t know the ETA for historical data, it may work differently than current streams API when it will be released

what type of historical data you need? for addresses, transfers, events?

#5

We need data for events

#6

Also, Syncs tab stopped showing anything a few days ago. Do you know anything about this?

#7

it could be something specific to that server

you have that historical data in a server now? if yes then you could export it and use real time data from streams API

#8

Also, I donā€™t see the Servers tab on the sidebar after I logged in from a different address to test

#9

we disabled the possibility to create servers in an account that doesnā€™t have any servers

#10

What does that mean?

#11

How does it work now? Where will the data be stored?

#12

if you self host then the data will be stored in the database that you use for your self hosted server

#13

What does that mean? How can I create a server now?

#14

if your account doesnā€™t have any servers then you can not create a server now in that account

#15

We have all our logic in cloud functions. How to make use of that now?

#16

cloud code will work similar with a self hosted parse server, parse server is what a moralis server uses

#17

I have access to a company account with an ā€œoldā€ moralis server (discontinued and not visible for new accounts) up and running, in there I can use e.g. the sync event function which is very cool.

Once I setup my moralis server self hosted, can I use that too (in a new moralis account)? Basically my self hosted server will be linked in the moralis account (admin.moralis.com) and Iā€™ll have all functionalities I see in an ā€œoldā€ moralis server, such as te event syncing feature? I really need this for a new project and I need to create a new moralis account and of course as itā€™s new it doesnā€™t allow to create a moralis server the ā€œoldā€ way, thus I was asking. Sorry if the questions are a bit repetitive, but from the information Iā€™ve digged itā€™s not clear this use case for people who want to use the old server with old features on a new self hosted serverā€¦ Thanks, appreciating your asnwers.

#18

you will not be linking the self hosted server with your moralis account, it will work similar but not identical

you can use it with event syncs (by integrating streams API), one thing is that streams API doesnā€™t work now with historical sync, only for real time sync

we are working now on a tutorial for self hosted servers that uses parse server and streams API for event syncs

I have an account with an existing server. Will I be able to create more servers if I upgrade to the PRO plan?
