V1 spec of a JobSpec which was used by the Ruby Node.
Bridge is the technical term for an external adapter used within the node's API. When you add a "Bridge Type" to the node, you are adding a link to the external adapter.
A Smart Contract which uses the services of an oracle.
External adapters are what make Chainlink easily extensible, providing simple integration of custom computations and specialized APIs. A Chainlink node communicates with external adapters via a simple REST API.
A function selector is the first four bytes of the call data for a function call and specifies the function to be called.
Starts the JobSpec.
Available initiators are:
- runlog
- cron
- ethlog
- runat
- web
This term is usually used as short-hand for a JobSpec.
The run of a job's execution, tracks multiple TaskRuns.
The JobSpec is the definition for what initiates a job and tasks to perform.
Entity which connects computations on blockchains with off-chain resources. Typically made up of two components: the Oracle Node (off-chain) and the Oracle Contract (on-chain).
The on-chain component of an Oracle. The Oracle Contract is the interface through which Consuming Contracts pass and receive data with off-chain resources.
The off-chain component of an Oracle.
The node executing on some specification is referred to as a run. A run can mean a JobRun or a TaskRun.
This term is usually used as short-hand for a TaskSpec
The TaskSpec is the definition for the individual task to be performed within the job pipeline.
The result of the individual task's execution.
A TaskRun may have the following statuses:
- in_progress
- pending_confirmations
- pending_bridge
- errored
- completed
