Overview

Bitquery API offers access to indexed data from the Algorand blockchain.

to fetch data from Algorand blockchain, you need to provide the network argument with the value algorandas shown below:

{
  algorand(network: algorand) {
    __typename
  }
}

You can also fetch data from Algorand Betanet (algorand_betanet).

Let's dive in and explore the Algorand data available through Bitquery API.

Algorand is a pure proof-of-stake layer 1 with fast finality, native ALGO transfers, and ASA (Algorand Standard Asset) tokens for fungible and non-fungible assets. Bitquery indexes blocks, payments-style activity, application (smart contract) calls, and asset movements for mainnet and Betanet.

What You Can Query​

  • Blocks — round/height, timestamps, proposer context where indexed, and throughput-related fields
  • Transactions — signatures, types, fees, and grouping of inner transactions where applicable
  • Transfers — ALGO and ASA movements with asset IDs, amounts, senders, and receivers
  • Smart contract calls — application (app) call transactions and related fields for on-chain program interaction
  • Coinpath — chained asset flows across accounts for tracing and analytics

Common Use Cases​

  • ASA and ALGO treasury tracking — monitor balances and transfer history for assets and accounts
  • dApp and DeFi analytics — volume and participation around apps, pools, or known program IDs
  • Cross-account tracing — use coinpath to follow ASA or ALGO through several hops
  • Government and CBDC programs — sovereign issuers and institutions piloting digital currencies or regulated asset tokens on Algorand can track issuance, circulation, and redemption through ASA transfer and smart-contract-call queries
  • Enterprise asset tokenization — companies tokenizing bonds, real estate, or carbon credits as ASAs can monitor holder distributions, settlement volumes, and compliance-relevant transfer patterns
