What's happening with the Grants stack indexer?

Hello folks,

I have been loosely following the deprecation of Grants Lab and related services.

As a result it seems the graphQL API used to fetch gitcoin projects appears to be shut down (along with all of the explorer links and project pages.

https://grants-stack-indexer-v2.gitcoin.co/graphql

We were using this API to integrate Gitcoin projects into DeVouch. We’d love to keep offering this to all ecosystem users since we are also integrated with Human/Gitcoin passport. Following the conversations of Gitcoin 3.0: The Road to GG24 it seems there is a plan to have another GG round. I assume you will need some way to fetch and display projects to your users.

Do you plan to spin up another service for fetching Gitcoin projects via API?

Hi there @divine-comedian

You can find more info on the sunset here and direct access to the data via our partner (OSO) here.

The indexer is no longer being maintained, which I know isn’t ideal. However the cost to do so outweighed the alternatives. As we move forward with GG24 - and creating a modular arena of funding mechanisms for our community - we’ll have more info on data access, but for now this is the best place to pull from.

There’s $1k left in the Builder’s Fund: https://app.gardens.fund/gardens/10/0x1eba7a6a72c894026cd654ac5cdcf83a46445b08/0xd3345828914b740fddd1b8ae4f4d2ce03d1e0960/123

Definitely seems like a good use of those funds to me, if that’s enough to keep it online for a bit.

It’s public if anyone wants to review: GitHub - gitcoinco/grants-stack-indexer-v2

If the community wants to pick it up to maintain, absolutely supportive! I would more than likely vote yes on any proposal that is interested in picking it up. Think it’s a great path towards a UBI for our community + the path the GG (and beyond).

That would be amazing to have those services back up and running! Let us know if there’s anything our team can do to help.
