Bitquery vs Steem
If you need a Blockchain API that's easy to integrate, go with Bitquery.
Bitquery

- HTTPS supported
- CORS enabled for frontend use
Steem

- No HTTPS support
- No CORS support

| HTTPS | Yes | No |
| CORS | Yes | No |
When to use which?
Steem is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Bitquery works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. Bitquery supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
