Show HN: I built a Python wrapper to query Uniswap v3 directly
I'm a university student and needed DeFi data for my project. CoinGecko's API pricing was way out of my budget (like, not even close). $35+/month just for high-granularity data – and that's not even minute-by-minute! So I did what any broke student would do – I started querying the blockchain directly instead.

Turns out, going straight to the source is not only cheaper, but I could offer the same data for more than 50% less than traditional providers. So I built Qoery, a Python SDK that makes DeFi data actually affordable for students, indie devs, and anyone building side projects.

What you get: Real-time and historical data from major DEXs, token prices, pool analytics – all accessible through clean Python code.

I'm hanging out there all day answering questions and would genuinely appreciate any feedback or support if you've ever been in the same boat (aka needing data but being priced out).
