This post describes how to build a basic client that records activity on the Stellar Decentralized Blockchain. The project uses Couchbase for storage and query, with Python as the programming language of choice. The tutorial covers setting up a recent version of Couchbase, creating a new bucket called "stellar", and connecting to it using the Python SDK. It then downloads account information directly from the Stellar web API, stores the raw JSON data in Couchbase, and reviews the results in the Web Console UI. The project also sets up indexes for querying attributes in the set of JSON documents. Finally, it provides a basic query example and outlines next steps for building charts and using more querying magic.
