Faucet request limit reached and incorrect indexer IP when referencing a self-hosted Full Node through the Aptos TS SDK

[Alexzander-Stone]

Asked by mnemonic in Discord (#dev-discussion):

And the second question: I launched the fullnode but encountered limitations. I have this code:

const aptosConfig = new AptosConfig({ fullnode: 'http://ip:8080/v1' });
const aptos = new Aptos(aptosConfig);

And I want to check the number of transactions for example:

const tx = await aptos.getAccountTransactionsCount({
        accountAddress: account.accountAddress.toString(),
    });

I get the following error, it seems that for some reason, the data is still being sent here https://indexer-devnet.staging.gcp.aptosdev.com/v1/graphql instead of through the node. Am I doing something wrong? How can I bypass or fix this?

Although you are referencing your Full Node successfully, that won't change the rate limits imposed by the devnet Labs-Hosted Indexer API endpoint that you're currently using. The Node API and Indexer API do not exist through the same service.

You'll need to self-host and reference an Indexer API, if this rate limit is too low for your use case.

Here's some helpful documentation on:

• Self-hosting an Indexer API.
• Aptos TS SDK available configuration values, including the Indexer API.
