What are API3’s key features and how does it work?

As mentioned, the API3 platform offers a range of solutions. This includes dedicated Web3 APIs, Beacons, dAPIs, and Airnodes. Web3 APIs are APIs geared towards the growing Web3 trend. Some examples of APIs include:

• The Local Weather API provides access to current weather conditions, as well as provides a 14-day forecast;
• LunarCRUSH facilitates social metric integrations into blockchain projects;
• GameScoreKeeper API allows the transfer of Esports data, which includes tournaments/leagues, as well as information about teams and players.

Beacons are lightweight data feeds. Smart contracts can be used by developers to connect Web3 applications to off-chain streams of data. Data could comprise stock prices or the price of cryptocurrencies. In this manner, beacons increase the transparency of data access for Web3 needs, as well as reduce overall costs.

dAPIs are on-chain data feeds. dAPIs are decentrally governed, often via DAOs. They are built by API provider-operated oracles and do not rely on third parties for operation. Token holders can take part in governance decisions by staking the API3 token. dAPIs also function as a cross-platform solution since they can be connected to any blockchain.

Airnode operates as a Web3 API Gateway. The technology operates as an intermediary organ that connects any web API directly to any blockchain application. Airnode is serverless and does not require maintenance. Some of its other benefits include zero trust, effortless operation, and the ability to expand into Web3 with minimal friction. Furthermore, Airnode is open source meaning that businesses can have total control over the API-Blockchain connection.
