What is an API or What is Bitquery API?

API, also known as application program interface, is a medium through which software applications send, request, and receive digital information between themselves. Think of API as a waiter in a pizza shop who takes orders from the customer, takes them to the kitchen, and returns the ordered pizza to the customer.

Bitquery is a platform that allows users to access information stored on various public blockchains, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Chain, through a single API. It provides a unified interface to query the data stored on different blockchains, enabling developers to access and process this information more efficiently. Bitquery helps to streamline the process of accessing blockchain data, making it easier for developers to build applications that require this data. With Bitquery's API, developers can easily access and query blockchain data in real-time.

Additionally, bitquery provides insightful blockchain GRAPHQL APIs for use from over 30 blockchain networks which makes them one of the few to provide such services.

Bitquery also provides a user-friendly GRAPHQL playground for users willing to learn how to build query schemas for use. Above all, Bitquery also provides a great support team for users having issues with their products.
