Supporting Stablecoin Payments for the CryptoCompare API

Decades later, APIs continue to provide the software world with the necessary data required to build amazing products and applications. Many of our favourite modern web applications are built using APIs and they now power the world’s fastest growing industry, Web3.

For the past year, Radom has been building its payment settlement protocol with API providers and Web3 customers in mind. We are continuing the progress of Web3 by supporting recurring stablecoin payments for access to these API services on-chain.

Radom is proud to announce that it will be offering the CryptoCompare API on its marketplace in the upcoming beta testnet launch in Q1, 2023.

What is an API?

An Application Programming Interface enables two or more computer programs to communicate with each other, forming the backbone of many online services we use today.

APIs enable modern web and mobile applications that we use every day to communicate with other software and retrieve data. Web and mobile applications are designed with humans in mind whilst APIs are designed with software in mind.

In its most simplest form, an API makes ‘calls’ which are essentially requests of information with specific parameters to another piece of software and retrieves the data so that it can be utilised within an application.

Example of an API

Imagine you want to build an application that showcases the latest prices for the top 100 cryptocurrencies and you want to include a news feed with only English language articles. How would you go about doing that without owning both the exchange and news company to have access to all that information?

You would use APIs to make calls to their respective databases whenever a user loads your application. Thus APIs allow developers and startup companies to build more user-centric applications with their requirements met by leveraging data provided by third-party companies.

What can I use the CryptoCompare API for?

CryptoCompare aggregates varying kinds of cryptocurrency data from exchanges, news feeds and more, enabling you to build an application with real-time or historical information.

Their API is perfect for any Web3 start-up or Web3 developer looking to build a Web3 application.
