Notis

Choose archive, realtime, or combined data deliberately

Make the data freshness decision explicit before every recurring blockchain query.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Database Selection

Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.

Why this helps

Using the wrong database mode creates stale results or unnecessary query cost and rework.

  • Aligns data mode with research intent
  • Reduces stale analysis
  • Creates consistent query planning

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 44API and Bitquery once.
  • 2Create a scheduled database-selection automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to recommend archive, realtime, or combined mode from the supplied investigation goal and explain the tradeoff.
  • 4Choose the cron trigger and report channel.
  • 5Test with one historical and one live research request.
