With its unique object-based architecture and fast consensus, the Sui blockchain is a compelling platform for decentralized applications and on-chain innovation. To fully explore what’s happening on-chain, developers and analysts need robust, accessible data tools.

That’s where Chainbase shines — offering flexible solutions to tap into Sui’s raw data. Across this series, we highlight three key methods to access MoveCall transactions:

1. Through Manuscript-GUI

2. Via Manuscript-CLI

3. Using Chainbase DataCloud

This article focuses on the third method: querying Sui data using Chainbase’s DataCloud, a browser-based platform for writing and executing SQL against live blockchain datasets — no setup or coding required.

For a low-code SQL experience, use Chainbase’s DataCloud Console.

1. Go to Console

   • DataCloud Console

2. Run SQL Here is a example of using SQL to fetch MoveCall data:

   select
       *
   from
       (
           select
               transaction_digest,
               transaction,
               timestamp,
               checkpoint,
               JSON_QUERY (transaction, '$.MoveCall.module') as module,
               JSON_QUERY (transaction, '$.MoveCall.package') as package
           from
               (
                   select
                       transaction_digest,
                       timestamp,
                       checkpoint,
                       transaction_col.value as transaction
                   from
                       (
                           select
                               transaction_digest,
                               from_unixtime (
                                   CAST(JSON_QUERY (raw_data, '$.timestampMs') as BIGINT)/1000,
                                   'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'
                               ) as timestamp,
                               JSON_QUERY (raw_data, '$.checkpoint') as checkpoint,
                               JSON_QUERY (
                                   raw_data,
                                   '$.transaction.data.transaction.transactions'
                               ) as transactions_arr,
                               raw_data AS transactions
                           from
                               paimon.sui.sui_transactions
                           where
                               raw_data like '%module%'
                       ) aa,
                       LATERAL JSON_EACH (aa.transactions_arr) as transaction_col
               ) as tt
       ) ttt
   where
       module <> ''
       or package <> ''
   

1. Save SQL

1. Create task API

   

2. Copy script and deploy task API locally
