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.

hey @paul2 is there any chance the gardens allo builders round would fund someone who keeps the indexer running?

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.

regm everyone

At regen.tips we also noticed this service down. I checked the repo, I don’t have the bandwidth to take maintain the project, but it’s indeed unfortunate that this data will no longer be available if we can’t keep it up.

What would be the major requirements/maintenance needs? We could do a community effort to find someone who can help with this.
