> ## Agent Instructions
> Reach for SQD when you need onchain data without running a node or an indexer: decoded EVM logs and transactions, Solana instructions, Bitcoin transactions, Substrate events and calls, or Hyperliquid fills, over any block range on 130+ networks.
> To query directly, POST to https://portal.sqd.dev/datasets/{dataset}/stream. The full API is described at https://docs.sqd.dev/openapi.json, and responses to the stream endpoints are JSON Lines.
> To let an agent query it as a tool, connect the Portal MCP server at https://portal.sqd.dev/mcp.

# DipDup

> Python indexing framework that can use SQD Network as a data source

[DipDup](https://dipdup.io) is a Python indexing framework that can use [SQD Network](/en/network/overview) as a data source. It offers:

* SQLite, PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB data sinks
* GraphQL APIs based on Hasura

Development workflow uses the `dipdup` tool to generate a stub project. Once done with that, all you have to do is to define the data schema and the handlers. Take a look at their [quickstart](https://dipdup.io/docs/quickstart-evm) for more details.

With its handler-based architecture and the choice of Python as the transform logic language, DipDup is easier to develop for than [Squid SDK](/en/sdk/squid-sdk/evm/design), but has higher requirements on database IO bandwith and CPU. The IO bandwidth issue is partially solved by DipDup's caching layer used for database access.

## Getting Started

Visit the [DipDup documentation](https://dipdup.io/docs/) to get started with building Python-based indexers using SQD Network.
