We also released the Goerli Beacon and Ethereum Beacon APIs. \ \ **Chainlink Data Feeds:** You can now leverage oracles for various data feed on the Chainlink network by querying prices specific tables including `eth.chainlink.prices` and `eth.chainlink.recent_prices`. This includes accessing the latest, minute-precision data on `transaction_hash`, `oracle_address`, `block_timestamp`, price of the asset in WEI, `asset_address` and more. The columns and their schema available for each table can be viewed with the describe \ command: 
/* Show the columns available */
DESCRIBE eth.chainlink.prices;
Data for for [Curve](https://classic.curve.fi/whitepaper), [Balancer](https://balancer.fi/), [Aave](https://aave.com/), [Yearn](https://yearn.finance/), [DAI](https://makerdao.com/en/), [Tether USD](https://tether.to/en/about-us/) and 30 other top assets is available. See the full list of supported data feeds [here](https://docs.spice.xyz/reference/sql-query-tables/sql-query-tables/chainlink-tables/prices-tables). \ **Aave V2 Dataset:** In addition to the Aave token prices data feed on the Chainlink network, we have released indexed [Aave V2](https://docs.spice.ai/~/changes/fl1GUvkHE2461izfYRLa/reference/sql-query-tables/ethereum/aave-v2-tables) data for loans, collaterals and prices. You can query for the latest updates to Aave loans and collateral by querying `eth.aave_v2.loan_updates` and `eth.aave_v2.collateral_updates`.

Latest view of all Aave V2 loans query, sample output

\ **Ethereum Shanghai/Capella Upgrade and Withdrawals Datasets:** The [Ethereum Shanghai/Capella upgrade](https://blog.ethereum.org/2023/03/28/shapella-mainnet-announcement) is now full supported after its completion on April 12, 2023, 10:27:35pm UTC at epoch 194048. The completion of Ethereum's Shanghai hard fork, also known as "Shapella," has authorized the withdrawal of funds for individuals who have "staked" their ETH to validate and secure blockchain transactions. We also released the `eth.withdrawals` dataset to capture new withdrawals. For example, you can now query to get ETH withdrawn: ```sql with eth_withdrawn as ( select eth.withdrawals.block_number, SUM(amount) as amount_gwei from eth.withdrawals group by eth.withdrawals.block_number order by block_number asc) select AVG(amount_gwei / 1e9) as amount_eth from eth_withdrawn ```

You can refine your search by defining parameters like `start` and `end`, which will return all prices between the two timestamps at a provided `granularity`. Please contact us if you would like to access the API. \ \ **NFT Dataset with Metadata (Preview):** You can now query and leverage fungible and non-fungible token contracts under `eth.tokens` as well as isolated NFT specific per token information under `eth.nfts`. These are made available also with name and symbol for ERC721 tokens. See the full list of [NFT tables](https://docs.spice.xyz/reference/sql-query-tables/sql-query-tables/nft-tables) and [Token tables](https://docs.spice.xyz/reference/sql-query-tables/sql-query-tables/token-tables). **Node.js SDK v0.3:** adds support for improved [Prices APIs](https://docs.spice.xyz/api/prices) supporting spot/latest and historical prices for pair across Coinbase, Gemini, and tracked by Coinmarket Cap. This upgrade ensures the SDK remains the easiest way to use and query [Spice.xyz](https://spice.xyz) with Node.js. It uses [Apache Apache Flight](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Flight.html) to efficiently stream data to the client and [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) Records as data frames which are then easily converted to JavaScript objects/arrays or JSON. New functions available on the client are: * `getPrice()` * `getPrices()` You'll need [Node.js 16+](https://nodejs.org/) to get started. See the step-by-step installation guide [here](https://docs.spice.xyz/sdks/node.js-sdk). #### New In this Release * \[API] Added [Historic Prices API in Preview](https://docs.spice.xyz/api/prices#historical-prices-preview) * \[Node.js SDK] [v0.3 release](https://docs.spice.xyz/sdks/node.js-sdk) of Node.js SDK [spice.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@spiceai/spice) * \[NFT and Metadata] [NFT](https://docs.spice.xyz/reference/sql-query-tables/sql-query-tables/nft-tables) and [Token](https://docs.spice.xyz/reference/sql-query-tables/sql-query-tables/token-tables) datasets in preview #### Changes * \[Performance] Improved query performance and scale * \[Portal] Improved performance of portal pages * \[Node.js SDK] Add `getPrice` and `getPrices` API #### Resources * [Getting started with Spice AI](https://docs.spice.xyz/get-started) * [Documentation](https://docs.spice.xyz/) * [FAQ](https://docs.spice.xyz/faq) ### January 2023 Sharing a packed release this month focused on a new dataset, org management, two developer querying tools, and two SDKs. **Ethereum Name Service (ENS) Events:** now out of preview, it's available by querying `ens.domains`, which is updated in real-time to have the latest `eth_address`whenever a transfer or name-registered event happens. Both `eth.ens` and other on-demand events indexed under the `eth.ens` prefix such as `eth.ens_event_nameregistered` are updated in real time with the same high-performance standards of published Spice datasets. See the tables [here](https://docs.spice.xyz/reference/sql-query-tables/sql-query-tables/token-tables-1). **Organization Management:** existing users can start exploring org support and management for users, apps, and datasets by [authorizing Spice with read-only access](https://docs.spice.xyz/get-started/portal-login) when logging into the [Spice.xyz](http://spice.xyz/) portal. This will also act as a parent container for future concepts including apps, users, teams, datasets, and metrics for streamlined management and navigation within [spice.xyz](http://spice.xyz/). The big game changers this month are [Async Query](https://docs.spice.xyz/api/sql-query-api/http-api-1) and [Flow AI Query Auto-Complete (in preview)](https://medium.com/spice-ai/introducing-spice-ai-flow-8bcfc5cc2294) — which supercharge the developer experience. **Async Query API:** you can post a JSON payload specifying list of query completion, and `notifications` results can be fetched asynchronously once the query has completed. Choose function client apps such as AWS Lambda to async query Spice.xyz and receive result notifications by webhook. Results are accessible up to 20 minutes after they are posted. **Flow (AI SQL Query Auto-Complete):** you can now query with plain text, hit enter, and watch as Flow autocompletes the request with the corresponding SQL lines in your [spice.xyz](http://spice.xyz/) query editor. Hit tab to accept the AI-generated completion, then accept, reject, or edit before run the query. We've also released the new [gospice Golang SDK](https://docs.spice.xyz/sdks/go) and added improvements to our [Python SDK](https://docs.spice.xyz/sdks/python-sdk) including timeout support. **Go SDK:** gospice is the easiest way to query [Spice.xyz](https://spice.xyz/) from Go. It uses [Apache Apache Flight](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Flight.html) to efficiently stream data to the client and [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) Records as data frames.\ GoDocs available at [pkg.go.dev/github.com/spiceai/gospice](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/spiceai/gospice).

Tokens are detected by their signatures and as they emit events over time, so Spice provides a probability of standards compliance to each contract. Along with this support are now token-specific tables like `eth.tokens_erc1155` and `eth.token_transfers_erc20`. See the entire list [Tokens Tables](https://docs.spice.ai/~/changes/fl1GUvkHE2461izfYRLa/reference/sql-query-tables/ethereum/token-tables). Performance is now even better, especially for larger queries, and for results over the HTTP API. We still recommend the [Apache Arrow Flight API](https://docs.spice.ai/~/changes/fl1GUvkHE2461izfYRLa/api/sql-query-api/apache-arrow-flight-api) that's easily accessible via the [Python SDK](https://docs.spice.ai/~/changes/fl1GUvkHE2461izfYRLa/sdks/python-sdk) for production use though. WebSocket support is now available in private preview to Design Partners - get in touch if you are interested in custom limits, early access features, and dedicated support. #### Changes * Improved Ethereum standard detection for erc20, erc721, and erc115 tokens * Added new token specific tables * `eth.tokens_erc20` * `eth.tokens_erc721` * `eth.tokens_erc1155` * `eth.token_transfers_erc20` * `eth.token_transfers_erc721` * `eth.token_transfers_erc1155` * Added new columns to `eth.token_transfers` table * `token_standard` * `token_id` * Added new columns to `eth.contracts` table * `erc20_confidence` * `erc721_confidence` * `erc1155_confidence` * `is_erc1155` * `eth.nft_` tables now include erc1155 tokens #### Resources * [Getting started with Spice AI](https://docs.spice.xyz/get-started) * [Documentation](https://docs.spice.xyz/) * [FAQ](https://docs.spice.xyz/faq) ### Apr 2022 Spice is now hosted at [**spice.xyz**](https://spice.xyz)!
