Building Rich APIs with The Graph Protocol
summary
Shows how to deploy a working subgraph to The Graph hosted service in minutes using the Graph CLI and the OpenZeppelin subgraph library so no custom mappings or schemas are needed for common contracts; demo creates an ERC‑20 subgraph, pushes it to the hosted explorer and queries it successfully. Claims The Graph runs on Ethereum plus 21 EVM chains, lists 16,000+ subgraphs and 20,000+ active developers, and explains migration to the decentralized Graph Network and how to combine indexed data with Chainlink oracles.
