What is Koios Python?

Koios Python is a library based on Koios Elastic Query Layer for Cardano Node by Cardano Community Guild Operators.
Koios is best described as a Decentralized and Elastic RESTful query layer for exploring data on Cardano blockchain to consume within applications/wallets/explorers/etc.

Koios is really useful for developers because resource and maintenance requirements for Cardano blockchain components (e.g. cardano-node, cardano-db-sync) are ever-growing. It also simplifies how to query complex information from the blockchain.

This library allows getting data from the Cardano Blockchain using a simple syntaxis in your Python code. All the querys follow Koios API REST operations.
