# Indexing Kite AI with Goldsky

## Overview

Goldsky provides high-performance data infrastructure for Kite AI, making it easy to extract, transform, and load on-chain data to power both application and analytics use cases. Goldsky offers two primary approaches to indexing and accessing blockchain data: [Subgraphs](/subgraphs) (high-performance subgraphs) and [Mirror](/mirror) (real-time data replication pipelines).

## Getting started

To use Goldsky, you'll need to create an account, install the CLI, and log in.

<Accordion title="Install Goldsky's CLI and log in">
  1. Install the Goldsky CLI:

     **For macOS/Linux:**

     ```shell theme={null}
     curl https://goldsky.com | sh
     ```

     **For Windows:**

     ```shell theme={null}
     npm install -g @goldskycom/cli
     ```

     <Note>Windows users need to have Node.js and npm installed first. Download from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) if not already installed.</Note>
  2. Go to your [Project Settings](https://app.goldsky.com/dashboard/settings) page and create an API key.
  3. Back in your Goldsky CLI, log into your Project by running the command `goldsky login` and paste your API key.
  4. Now that you are logged in, run `goldsky` to get started:
     ```shell theme={null}
     goldsky
     ```
</Accordion>

### Subgraphs

Kite AI subgraphs can be deployed on Goldsky in 2 ways:

* Via CLI from a local subgraph configuration file. If you are familiar with developing subgraphs already, you'll be familiar with this approach; after defining a subgraph locally (with a `subgraph.yaml` file, a `schema.graphql` file, and the necessary mappings to translate raw event data into the entities defined in the schema), you can deploy subgraphs to Goldsky (once the Goldsky CLI is installed) using `goldsky subgraph deploy <name>/<version> --path .` For more, read the [step-by-step guide](/subgraphs/deploying-subgraphs).
* Via instant subgraphs, where you can pass through a contract address and the ABI for that contract. This is a quick-start option that automatically generates the underlying subgraph configuration files on your behalf, making it easy to extract blockchain event data and serve it as an API endpoint without complex setup. Use the `--from-abi` flag in the command above instead of `--path`. For more, read the [low-code subgraphs guide](/subgraphs/guides/create-a-low-code-subgraph).

Kite AI Mainnet and Testnet are available at the chain slugs `kite-ai` and `kite-ai-testnet` respectively.
