What is Solana API?​

Bitquery Solana APIs help you fetch onchain data by writing a graphQL query.

What are capabilities of Bitquery Solana API?​

Bitquery Solana APIs are very flexible, you can fetch trade, transaction, balance information for a period, for a specific wallet and join with other information.

Difference between Solana RPC and Bitquery Solana API?​

Solana RPC

  • JSON-RPC endpoint exposing raw on-chain state & transactions
  • No built-in history or analytics—any indexing/aggregation you build or outsource
  • Ideal for submitting transactions

Bitquery Solana API

  • GraphQL endpoint over pre-indexed, parsed Solana data (token transfers, DEX trades, NFTs, etc.)
  • Historical data, joins, aggregations & real-time subscriptions
  • Great for real-time data and historical backtesting without running your own indexer

Difference between Solana Geyser stream and Bitquery Kafka Stream?​

Solana Geyser stream

  • Data & Protocol: Runs as a plugin in your own Solana validator, emitting raw on-chain events (account updates, slot status changes, processed transactions, block metadata) over binary or gRPC feeds.
  • Infra & Maintenance: You must host, scale, and secure the node yourself, parse and index all raw data client-side, and deal with only basic filtering—latency and reliability depend entirely on your setup; no built-in historical querying.

Bitquery Kafka Stream

  • Data & Protocol: Provides fully managed Kafka topics—solana.dextrades.proto, solana.tokens.proto, and solana.transactions.proto—delivering pre-parsed, enriched Protocol-Buffers events (DEX trades, token transfers, supply/balance updates, instructions, blocks, etc.).
  • Infra & Maintenance: Enterprise-grade, auto-scaling Kafka streams with sub-second latency, schema-based filtering, instruction-level balance updates, built-in replication/failover—no node ops or custom parsing needed.

Does Bitquery support Solana Websocket and Solana Webhooks?​

Bitquery supports websocket and webhooks, you can convert most of the graphQL APIs into graphQL streams by changing the word query to subscription. You can monitor this data via a websocket. More and code samples available here
