The API supports chain IDs in the following formats:

- As a subdomain:
```typescript
interface ChainConfig {
chainId: number; // Chain ID of the network you want to query
}

// Example: Using a specific chain
const chainId = "{{chainId}}"; // Replace with your desired chain ID
// Example
const baseUrl = `https://{{chainId}}.insight.thirdweb.com`;
```

- As a query parameter (this is useful if you want to query multiple chains):
```typescript
// Example for a single chain
const url = `https://insight.thirdweb.com/v1/events?chain={{chainId}}`;
// Example for multiple chains
const url = `https://insight.thirdweb.com/v1/events?chain=1&chain=137`;
```

We won't duplicate multchain examples for each endpoint, but you can pass multiple chains in the query parameters pretty much everywhere!

A blueprint is an API that provides access to on-chain data in a user-friendly format. There's no need for ABIs, decoding, RPC, or web3 knowledge to fetch blockchain data. Every chain exposes the default blueprints below

All blueprints support [multichain queries](/insight/multichain-queries)!

## Events Blueprint

Blockchain events offers developers a powerful way to track and analyze blockchain events emitted by smart contracts. This endpoint provides access to detailed event information, such as the address of the contract that generated the event, the transaction that triggered it, and when and where the event occurred on the blockchain. By offering data points like event topics, block numbers, and transaction hashes, developers can easily filter and search for specific event types, such as token transfers or contract executions. With precise timestamps and block references, the Events Blueprint ensures that developers have real-time access to critical on-chain activity, enabling them to build responsive, high-performance applications that can monitor, analyze, and react to blockchain events seamlessly. Whether working on DeFi, NFTs, or general dApps, this endpoint helps unlock the full potential of blockchain data in any project.

| Name | Description | Example |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Address | The `address` is the identifier of the smart contract or account that emitted the event. It tells you who or what generated the event. | If the event is related to an ERC-20 token transfer, the address would be the smart contract address of the token. For instance, if youre tracking events for the USDT token, the address would be the contract address of USDT on Ethereum. |
| Chain ID | The `chain_id` is a unique identifier for the blockchain network where the event occurred. Different blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon) have their own unique chain IDs. | Ethereums mainnet has a chain_id of 1, while Binance Smart Chain has a chain_id of 56. This field ensures you know which network the event is coming from, which is crucial when interacting with multiple EVM chains.
| Data | The `data` field contains additional information specific to the event. In many cases, its the raw output of the smart contract event. | In an ERC-20 Transfer event, the data might include the number of tokens transferred in raw hexadecimal format. For instance, if 1000 USDT were transferred, this value would be encoded in the events data field.

For instance, if 1000 USDT were transferred, this value would be encoded in the event's data field.
| Log Index | The `log_index` is the order of the log (event) in the list of all events within the block. It helps you pinpoint exactly where this event is located in the block. | If multiple events occurred within the same block (e.g., multiple token transfers), the log_index tells you the sequence of this particular event. For example, it might be the 3rd event in the block.
| Topics | The `topics` array contains indexed parameters of the event, often used for filtering or categorizing events. The first topic contains the event signature (the function name), while the remaining topics contain indexed event arguments. | In an ERC-20 Transfer event, the first topic would be the hash of the event signature `Transfer(address,address,uint256)`. The second topic would be the senders address, and the third would be the receivers address. This allows filtering to track all Transfer events for a specific address.

The second topic would be the sender's address, and the third would be the receiver's address. This allows filtering to track all Transfer events for a specific address.
| Transaction Hash | The `transaction_hash` is the unique identifier for the transaction that triggered the event. It helps you link the event to the specific transaction that caused it. | If you transfer 1 ETH to another wallet, the transaction hash might be 0x5c7b6f... which uniquely identifies that transaction. Using this hash, you can look up the transaction in any block explorer (e.g., Etherscan) to see all the details.
| Transaction Index | The `transaction_index` tells you the position of the transaction within the block. This helps you identify where in the block this particular transaction was placed relative to others. | If multiple transactions occurred within the same block (e.g., multiple token transfers), the transaction_index tells you the sequence of this particular transaction. For example, it might be the 3rd transaction in the block. | If a block contains 100 transactions, the transaction_index might indicate that this event was triggered by the 45th transaction in the block. This is useful for debugging or tracing the order of execution.
| Block Hash | A `block_hash` is the unique identifier of a block, generated after the block is confirmed. Its like a tamper-proof record of all the transactions and events in that block. | If you wanted to verify that a particular transaction or event was part of a block, you could use the block hash to check its integrity. Think of it as a digital signature for the entire block, such as 0x91d representing all transactions within that specific block.

You can think of block numbers like page numbers in a ledger.
| Block Timestamp | The `block_timestamp` is the exact time when the block was mined and added to the blockchain. | If block 12,345,678 was mined on July 1, 2023, at 12:30 PM UTC, the timestamp will reflect this exact moment. This helps you pinpoint when an event, such as a token transfer, actually happened in real time.

| Max Fee Per Gas | This is the maximum amount of gas fees (in wei) the sender is willing to pay for each gas unit.

| Max Priority Fee Per Gas | This is the maximum additional fee the sender is willing to pay to incentivize miners to prioritize their transaction.

## Multichain Queries

Insight also supports querying multiple chains in a single API call. This is useful when you need to retrieve data across different networks without making separate requests.

```typescript
const getMultichainTransfers = async () => {
try {
// Query USDT transfers on Ethereum (1) and Polygon (137)
const response = await fetch('https://insight.thirdweb.com/v1/events?chain=1&chain=137&limit=10', {
headers: {
'x-client-id': <YOUR_THIRDWEB_CLIENT_ID>
}
});
const transfersInfo = await response.json();
return transfersInfo
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
};
```

When querying multiple chains, the response includes a `chain_ids` array in the metadata and each item in the data array includes its `chain_id`:

```json
{
"meta": {
"chain_ids": [1, 137],
"total_items": 10,
"limit_per_chain": 5,
"page": 0,
"limit": 10,
"total_pages": 1
},
"data": [
{
"chain_id": 1,
"block_number": 14705663,
// ... other Ethereum event data
},
{
"chain_id": 137,
"block_number": 25631042,
// ... other Polygon event data
}
// ... more events from both chains
]
}
```

Key points about multichain queries:
- Use the base URL `https://insight.thirdweb.com` instead of the chain-specific subdomain
- Add multiple `chain` query parameters (e.g., `chain=1&chain=137`)
- The response includes a `chain_ids` array and `limit_per_chain` in the metadata
- Each item in the data array includes its `chain_id` for identification
