Table description

Compared to the extrinsics table, which only has a top-level call, the calls table represents internal calls, including recursive internal calls of proxy and utility (batch) pallets, and provides detailed call arguments at each level of the call tree. This table is partitioned by year, month, call_section, and call_method for efficient querying. Common queries on the calls table will typically filter on block_time, call_section and call_method and extract JSON encoded information from call_args or call_args_def. Each call record includes information about the pallet section and method being called, the extrinsic it belongs to, call hierarchy (root/leaf), fee and weight information, signer details, and call arguments in both raw and decoded formats.

Column Descriptions

ColumnDescriptionType
yearThe year when the call was executed, used for partitioning.int
monthThe month when the call was executed, used for partitioning.int
call_sectionThe pallet section (module) where the call originates (e.g., “balances”, “system”).string
call_methodThe method name within the pallet section being called.string
block_numberThe block number where this call was executed.bigint
block_timeThe timestamp when the block containing this call was created.timestamp
extrinsic_idThe unique identifier of the extrinsic that contains this call.string
relay_chainThe name of the relay chain associated with this call.string
para_idThe parachain ID associated with this call, if applicable.long
idThe unique identifier for the call record.string
