# API Overview

This section explains the Uniswap Subgraph and how to interact with it. The Uniswap subgraph indexes data from the Uniswap contracts over time. It organizes data about pairs, tokens, Uniswap as a whole, and more. The subgraph updates any time a transaction is made on Uniswap. The subgraph runs on [The Graph](https://thegraph.com/) protocol's hosted service and can be openly queried.

### Resources[#](broken://pages/TKtf6qoyPR0SWADoG9xz)

[Subgraph Explorer](https://thegraph.com/explorer/subgraph/uniswap/uniswap-v2) - sandbox for querying data and endpoints for developers.

[Uniswap V2 Subgraph](https://github.com/Uniswap/uniswap-v2-subgraph) - source code for deployed subgraph.

### Usage[#](broken://pages/TKtf6qoyPR0SWADoG9xz)

The subgraph provides a snapshot of the current state of Uniswap and also tracks historical data. It is currently used to power [uniswap.info](https://uniswap.info/). **It is not intended to be used as a data source for structuring transactions (contracts should be referenced directly for the most reliable live data).**

### Making Queries[#](broken://pages/TKtf6qoyPR0SWADoG9xz)

To learn more about querying a subgraph refer to [The Graph's documentation](https://thegraph.com/docs/introduction).

### Versions[#](broken://pages/TKtf6qoyPR0SWADoG9xz)

The [Uniswap V2 Subgraph](https://thegraph.com/explorer/subgraph/uniswap/uniswap-v2) only tracks data on Uniswap V2. For Uniswap V1 information see the [V1 Subgraph](https://thegraph.com/explorer/subgraph/graphprotocol/uniswap).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.quickswap.exchange/technical-reference/api/api-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
