As outlined on the page What are dAPIs?, API3 has created a unified, user-friendly implementation that is designed to simplify the process of obtaining data feed services. The API3 Market enables dApp owners to connect to a decentralized API and access its data feeds.
A Next Generation Push Oracle
dAPIs are sourced from multiple first-party oracles and aggregated using a median function. They operate using a push model with a variety of update specifications based on deviation thresholds. dAPIs have been designed to be simple to integrate, manage and change.
Accessing dAPIs
dAPI are accessible through the API3 Market. The market enables developers to permissionlessly access price feeds and manage them once integrated. Once gas overheads required to activate a feed are provided, within minutes price reference data will be readable on-chain.
It is worth noting that API3 operates all infrastructure required for data feed updates, there is no additional infrastructure to set up, operate and maintain by a dApp looking to utilize a dAPI.
API3 Market
The API3 Market lists all available dAPIs. It represents a hub that allows developers to:
- Search for available dAPIs data feeds to integrate
- Provide gas for dAPIs to activate a decentralized oracle
- Access the proxy address to read the value of a required data pair
- Request new data types
You can head to the API3 Market to explore this further.
