Automatic generating analytics from blockchain data
A blockchain of transactions may be referenced for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification and information retrieval. One example method of operation may include identifying a number of data parameters to extract from a blockchain based on a request for analytic data, creating one or more queries based on the data parameters, executing the one or more queries and retrieving the data parameters from the blockchain, identifying one or more permissions of a user account associated with the request for analytic data, and populating an interface with analytic figures based on the data parameters retrieved from the blockchain.
1 . An apparatus, comprising:
a hardware-implemented processor configured to:
receive, from a device, a request comprising a time value and a data value that are used to identify data parameters to extract from a blockchain comprising index data indexed based on analytic requirements;
identify requirements of the request and required permissions for the request;
define metrics as a series of commands, based on the identified requirements of the request and the required permissions for the request, wherein
the metrics correspond to key-value pairs that specify how to extract the data parameters from the blockchain, and
the metrics are used to process the data parameters after the extraction;
generate a query for the data parameters based on the metrics, the time value, and the data value;
receive the data parameters from the blockchain in response to the query;
calculate the metrics based on the received data parameters;
generate, via a smart contract, analytics data based on the received data parameters and the calculated metrics; and
transmit the analytics data to the device.
