Setup:Visit the Chainbase Labs Manuscript core repo on GitHub and find the manuscript-cli link to install Manuscript CLI using the automated script. Make sure your Docker engine is running. Use Manuscript CLI:Install manuscript-cliOpen your terminal and enter manuscript-cli to see available commands.Enter manuscript-cli init to start the interactive manuscript creator.Enter the default base directory for manuscripts, then enter your manuscript name (e.g., flare_launch).Choose your network; for Flare, enter 9.Select your data output target; default is Postgresql.The system will create containers, and you can access your manuscript at localhost:8081. Access and Explore Data:Visit localhost:8081 in your browser to see the Apache Flink web dashboard. Initially, no jobs will be running.After you see a new job running, access the GraphQL endpoint(localhost:8083), indicating data is being inserted into the database. Initially, it will report “no queries available.” Please close the page and reopen it.Use manuscript-cli ls to check if your manuscript (flare_launch) is running.Open the GraphQL interface to explore different queries, like transaction counts in blocks.Use a GraphQL query like this to get a list of blocks:query myQuery { blocks(limit: 10) { hash number timestamp transactions { hash } } } Use tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek to help generate GraphQL queries, specifying that you want to input the query from the terminal. Command Line Data Access:Use curl to access the GraphQL endpoint from the terminal. For example, to get block sizes, use this command:curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“query”:“query { blocks { size } }“}’ localhost:8081/graphql which will streams block size data to your terminal.
