The Graph
The Graph is a decentralized blockchain data indexing protocol. It exposes Subgraphs (GraphQL APIs over indexed on-chain data), Substreams (parallel streaming dataflows), the Token API (REST/MCP for token data), and supports 80+ chains. Self-hosted Graph Node and Firehose are open-source.
The Graph publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Subgraphs API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Web3, Indexing, GraphQL, Subgraph, and Multi-Chain.
The The Graph catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
The Graph’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.

Standards implemented 2
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
APIs 6
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
The Graph Subgraphs (GraphQL)
Per-subgraph GraphQL endpoints served by the decentralized network of Indexers. Each subgraph defines its own schema; queries are billed in GRT or via a hosted gateway in USD.
The Graph Token API
REST API for cross-chain token data (balances, holders, prices, transfers, metadata) with built-in MCP server for AI agents.
The Graph Substreams
gRPC streaming protocol for parallelized blockchain dataflows backed by Firehose. Substreams power high-throughput indexing pipelines.
Graph Node Admin JSON-RPC (self-hosted)
JSON-RPC admin interface to a self-hosted Graph Node for deploying, listing, and managing subgraphs. Public hosted-service is deprecated; this surface applies to self-managed in...
Firehose
Open-source flat-file extraction layer that powers Substreams. Provides chain-specific gRPC streams of blocks and transactions.
The Graph Subgraphs API
The Subgraphs API from The Graph — 2 operation(s) for subgraphs.
