Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

bitquery-protobuf-schema

bitquery-protobuf-schema is an NPM package by Bitquery, designed to simplify working with on-chain data streaming pipelines powered by Protobuf and Kafka. This package automatically returns Protocol Buffer (.proto) schemas for Bitquery’s Protobuf Kafka streams when you provide the stream's topic name.

Bitquery is a leading on-chain data provider, offering blockchain intelligence via GraphQL APIs, WebSocket streaming, and high-performance Kafka streams. This package removes the hassle of repeatedly downloading .proto files manually and allows developers to integrate directly with Bitquery’s real-time blockchain data streams.


🚀 Features

  • Easy loading of Protobuf schemas for Bitquery Kafka stream topics
  • Ideal for applications using real-time streaming on-chain data
  • Automatically decodes blockchain events, transactions, logs, shreds, and more
  • Useful for building analytics dashboards, trading bots, monitoring tools, and ingestion pipelines
  • Zero need to manually store or update .proto files

📦 Installation

Install with npm:

npm i bitquery-protobuf-schema

🧠 Usage

Here's how to load a Protobuf schema for any Bitquery Kafka stream topic:

const { loadProto } = require('bitquery-protobuf-schema');

let ParsedIdlBlockMessage;
let topic = '<topic>';

ParsedIdlBlockMessage = await loadProto(topic);

Once loaded, use the parsed schema to decode incoming Protobuf messages from the Kafka stream:

const buffer = message.value;
const decoded = ParsedIdlBlockMessage.decode(buffer);

This gives you fully structured on-chain data decoded directly from Bitquery's Protobuf streaming infrastructure.
