Can I monetize a GraphQL API with Opsalis?

Yes. Opsalis natively supports GraphQL. Consumers send standard GraphQL queries, and the marketplace handles authentication, billing, and on-chain settlement per query.

Do consumers need to change their GraphQL client?

No. Consumers use standard GraphQL queries and variables. The only change is the endpoint URL and adding the consumer key header. Any GraphQL client works.

How is GraphQL query complexity handled for pricing?

You set a flat price per query. Complex queries cost the same as simple ones. For advanced pricing, you can use subscription plans that allow unlimited queries within a billing period.

GraphQL API Marketplace

How It Works

Data flow: GraphQL query from your browser → London consumer node → encrypted P2P → NYC owner (New York) → GraphQL API resolves query → structured response returned. Settlement on Base L2.

Why GraphQL on Opsalis?

Expose your GraphQL API to paying consumers. Opsalis handles authentication, billing, and settlement — you focus on your schema. Consumers get the flexibility of GraphQL queries while you earn revenue per call.

GraphQL APIs are ideal for the marketplace model because consumers request exactly the data they need. Opsalis preserves the full GraphQL experience: consumers write queries, send variables, and receive structured responses — all through the P2P network.

Real-world example: A SaaS company exposes their user directory as a GraphQL API. Enterprise clients query exactly the fields they need — no over-fetching, no under-fetching. Each query is billed at $0.002 and settled instantly in USDC.

# Send a GraphQL query through the Opsalis marketplace
$ curl -X POST https://opsalis.com/api/demo/api/bb-graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Consumer-Key: demo-public-key-2026" \
  -d '{
    "query": "{ users { id name email } }",
    "variables": {}
  }'

// Send a GraphQL query through the Opsalis marketplace
const response = await fetch('https://opsalis.com/api/demo/api/bb-graphql', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-Consumer-Key': 'demo-public-key-2026'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: '{ users { id name email } }',
    variables: {}
  })
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

# Send a GraphQL query through the Opsalis marketplace
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://opsalis.com/api/demo/api/bb-graphql',
    headers={
