Hi,
I read the “run indexer” page here, which said that:
The node the Indexer connects to must be an archival node to get all the ledger data.
As I searched the previous posts in this forum, it seems that to run an archival node and an indexer will cost a good amount of disk space (mainnet + testnet > 1T), which I can’t afford for now.
But I also noticed that to run the indexer, we can specify a node folder like --algod=~/node/data, so my question is, if I only need to call indexer’s get transaction api with only recent transaction id as its parameter, can I just run the indexer to connect it to a non-archival node folder? will that cause it only save the recent transactions in the database to serve the search? or this is not allowed at all?
Thank you in advance!
