What is Bitquery?
Bitquery is a blockchain data provider offering GraphQL APIs and real-time WebSocket streams for 40+ chains, including DEX trades and prediction markets. It started in 2017 as Bloxy.info and became Bitquery in 2018. Paid plans start at $39 per month billed annually; a 7-day trial includes 1,000 API points.
How Bitquery works
Bitquery exposes one GraphQL schema over HTTP and WebSocket, organized into cubes such as DEXTrades, Transfers, Balances and Holders.
Each query picks a dataset: realtime holds roughly the last few hours, archive holds back-indexed history, and combined stitches the two. Availability differs by chain and cube, and the docs warn that Solana combined queries currently return a 500 error. Self-service plans run on the real-time window across 10 core chains: 30 days of trades and 4 to 8 hours of other on-chain data.
Authentication uses OAuth. You create an application at account.bitquery.io, choose a token lifetime, then either generate an access token in the UI or post your client ID and secret to oauth2.bitquery.io to get one in code. Usage is billed in API points, stream-minutes and gigabytes pushed over sockets. An MCP server lets AI clients such as Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT query DEX trades, prices, balances, holders and money flow.
How to start with Bitquery
- Start the 7-day trial without a card.
- It opens all chains and full history on a small quota (1,000 points, 2 streams, 17 stream-minutes) so you can test queries in the IDE before picking a plan.
- Personal suits testing but has no streaming and forbids commercial use.
- Pro adds 100k stream-minutes, 100 concurrent streams and a commercial license.
- If a query returns nothing for a date range, the docs say to check retention first, since most missing-data reports are dataset mismatches.
Bitquery fees and limits
- Billed annually: Personal $39 a month (100k points, 30 requests a minute), Pro $79 (1M points, 90 a minute, 5 GB of stream data) and Scale $239 (5M points, 2M stream-minutes, 1,000 streams); annual billing saves 20%.
- Extra points cost $40 per 1M bought yearly or $50 monthly, and a one-time 1M top-up is $100.
- Historical transfers, balances and holders packs are sold per chain, from $100 a month ($80 yearly) on Arc, the cheapest chain.
- MCP plans start at $15 a month, and Enterprise is a flat custom fee.
Risks to know before using Bitquery
- Stream-minute billing rounds up: a stream connected for a few seconds of a minute is charged the whole minute, which adds up for bots that reconnect often.
- The trial's full history is not what paid self-service plans get, so a backtest that worked in the trial can come back empty on Pro.
- Some combined queries fail with a raw 500 error instead of a clean message, and the docs advise rerunning on archive before assuming an outage.
