# Blockstack Resolver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During 2014-2016, Bockstack resolver was a separate service (like DNS resolvers).
|
||
|
|
It was merged into the Blockstack API in early 2017.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following (legacy) API call is still being supported by the Blockstack API:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
http://localhost:5000/v2/users/fredwilson
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And you can see a legacy resolver in action at http://resolver.onename.com/v2/users/fredwilson
|
||
|

## Cron Job for Namespaces
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note: the instructions below need updating.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, the resolver indexes all valid names in a local file which can be
|
||
|
|
populated by running
|
||
|
|
> $ ./refresh_names.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On a production deployment, you should add a crond job to periodically run this
|
||
|
|
script. You can edit your crontab file by:
|
||
|
|
> $ crontab -e
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is a sample crontab file that runs the refresh script every two hours:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
SHELL=/bin/bash
|
||
|
|
HOME=/home/ubuntu
|
||
