  • Powering low-latency applications and APIs

Python Integration Example

Below is a simple example using confluent-kafka to consume SonarX Kafka topics in Python.
This consumer listens to a SonarX real-time topic and processes blockchain events as they are published.

Getting Started

  1. Request access to SonarX Real-Time Data
  2. Receive Kafka broker credentials and topic details
  3. Connect using your preferred Kafka client
  4. Start streaming blockchain data in real time
SonarX Kafka makes it easy to build fast, reliable, and scalable blockchain-powered systems using the tools your team already knows.
