# Example Usages

> This section showcases real-world use cases of the Ingest SDK, focusing on key components like ingest.LedgerTransaction, ingest.LedgerChange, ingest.LedgerTransactionReader, and ingest.ChangeReader.

These examples take a Stellar Ledger (`xdr.LedgerCloseMeta`) or a ledger sequence range (start-end) as input. Each of the examples listed here is complete, and can be compiled and run as-is in your IDE/local dev.

## Prerequisites

Some of the examples listed here might invoke the `stellar-core` binary. Refer to the "admin guide" for more details on how to compile `stellar-core` for your platform.

The [Stellar Ingest SDK](https://github.com/stellar/go-stellar-sdk) is a go module and includes several packages in addition to the ingest SDK. You will need to include the module in your go project `go.mod`.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
go get github.com/stellar/go-stellar-sdk@latest
go mod tidy
```
