Overview
Bitquery is a comprehensive blockchain data platform designed to provide reliable, production-ready on-chain data for developers, enterprises, and analytic teams. It centralizes both historical and real-time blockchain information across more than 40 chains, delivering it via GraphQL APIs, Websocket subscriptions, Kafka streams, and cloud datashares (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, AWS S3, Azure). The service is optimized for low-latency applications such as trading terminals, bot infrastructure, compliance tooling, and analytics dashboards while also catering to simpler developer use cases through a free developer plan.

Enterprise Integrations & Support: Customizable commercial plans, priority support, 24/7 engineering access, and options for dedicated onboarding, SLAs, and custom data formats.
Use Cases
Bitquery caters to a wide range of applications: trading desks building low-latency terminals and bots; analytics teams creating dashboards and on-chain metrics; tax and accounting firms performing historical balance reconciliation; compliance groups conducting fund tracing and AML investigations; and data teams powering ML models with structured blockchain datasets. The platform’s multi-interface delivery makes it suitable for both streaming, real-time use and large-scale batch analytics.
Why Choose Bitquery
Bitquery emphasizes data fidelity, operational reliability, and integration flexibility. Its structured datasets reduce the typical ETL burden when working with raw chain data, while cloud datashares and common file formats accelerate time-to-insight. The low-latency streaming capability (sub-second parsed feeds) is particularly valuable for trading and charting applications, and enterprise customers benefit from dedicated support and custom SLAs.
Pricing & Getting Started
The platform offers a free Developer Plan that includes a trial allocation and limited streams for testing, plus commercial plans for production use with scalable API calls and priority support. To get started, sign up for an account, obtain API keys in the GraphQL IDE, and explore documentation and tutorials available for both V1 and V2 GraphQL APIs. For bespoke needs, Bitquery’s sales and engineering teams assist with custom integrations, datashare provisioning, and onboarding.
Final Thoughts
Bitquery is designed for organizations that need robust, high-quality on-chain data without managing complex indexing infrastructure in-house. Whether you need real-time DEX feeds, historical OHLCV and trades, investigative tracing tools, or cloud-ready datashares, Bitquery provides a flexible, enterprise-ready solution to accelerate blockchain data engineering and product development.
