Dune Query Repo

A template for creating repos to manage your Dune queries (using the Dune CRUD API). The main flow I've created this template for is to turn any dashboard you own into a repository of queries. But you can extend it however you want.

Setup Your Repo

1. Generate an API key from your Dune account and put that in both your .env file and github action secrets (name it DUNE_API_KEY). You can create a key under your Dune team settings. The key must be from a premium plan for this repo to work.

2. Then, go to the dashboard you want to create a repo for (must be owned by you/your team). Click on the "github" button in the top right of your dashboard to see the query ids.

3. Copy and paste that list into the queries.yml file inside the /queries folder. You can paste any list of query ids, doesn't have to be linked to a dashboard.

4. Then, run pull_from_dune.py to bring in all queries into /query_{id}.sql files within the /queries folder. Directions to setup and run this script are below.

5. Make any changes you need to directly in the repo. Any time you push a commit to MAIN branch, push_to_dune.py will save your changes into Dune directly.

Query Management Scripts

You'll need python and pip installed to run the script commands. If you don't have a package manager set up, then use either conda or poetry . Then install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Script	Action	Command
pull_from_dune.py	updates/adds queries to your repo based on ids in queries.yml	python scripts/pull_from_dune.py
push_to_dune.py	updates queries to Dune based on files in your /queries folder	python scripts/push_to_dune.py
preview_query.py	gives you the first 20 rows of results by running a query from your /queries folder. Specify the id.	python scripts/preview_query.py 2615782

Things to be aware of

💡: Names of queries are pulled into the file name the first time pull_from_dune.py is run. Changing the file name in app or in folder will not affect each other (they aren't synced). Make sure you leave the ___id.sql at the end of the file, otherwise the scripts will break!

🟧: Make sure to leave in the comment -- already part of a query repo at the top of your file. This will hopefully help prevent others from using it in more than one repo.

🔒: Queries must be owned by the team the API key was created under - otherwise you won't be able to update them from the repo.

➕: If you want to add a query, add it in Dune app first then pull the query id (from URL dune.com/queries/{id}/other_stuff) into queries.yml

🛑: If you accidently merge a PR or push a commit that messes up your query in Dune, you can roll back any changes using query version history.

For Contributors

I've set up four types of issues right now:

• bugs: This is for data quality issues like miscalculations or broken queries.
• chart_improvements: This is for suggesting improvements to the visualizations.
• query_improvements: This is for suggesting improvements to the query itself, such as adding an extra column or table that enhances the results.
• generic: This is a catch all for other questions or suggestions you may have about the dashboard.

If you want to contribute, either start an issue or go directly into making a PR (using the same labels as above). Once the PR is merged, the queries will get updated in the frontend.
