Ordhook Overview
Ordhook enables you to build ordinals event streams, so you can create accurate, lightweight databases that gracefully handle Bitcoin forks and reorgs.
Ordhook is a reorg-aware indexer that automatically handles chain forks, so you don’t need to waste time or resources reindexing your database yourself. With a familiar event-driven framework, you can customize what ordinals data you index in order to create lightweight databases for faster query responses and a better user experience.
Install Ordhook
Clone the Ordhook Repo:
Navigate to the root directory and run cargo ordhook-install:
Create Event Streams
Scan past Ordinals activity
Fetch historical ordinals activity, whether for a range of blocks or for a particular inscription.
Stream Ordinals activity
Create webhook-like triggers that listen for ordinals activity and post that activity to a local server or file.
Run Ordhook as a Service
Interact and manage incoming Ordinals activity with your own service.
