# GraphQL

### **What is Graph Query Language?**

GraphQL is a query language for APIs for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools. For an overview of GraphQL, please refer to <https://graphql.org/>.<br>

## Spydra's GraphQL

Spydra’s QraphQL allows you to query Blockchain databases easily and efficiently. With its ability to support complex queries, you can access data in a streamlined manner. Not only can you execute simple queries based on any field of an object on the ledger, but also nested and paginated queries, as well as more complex ones. By leveraging the power of Spydra's Graph Query, you can simplify your blockchain data interactions and streamline your workflow.

You can only query data using GraphQL and we do not support modifying ledger data using mutations with GraphQL at this time.

For a list of supported queries please refer [here](/developers/api-reference/asset-tokenization/graphql.md).
