We like to regularly profile the individual API resources we are profiling as part of the Streamdata.io API Gallery. While profiling each of the APIs, we work hard to make sure each individual API resources is well defined, so that it can be discovered, evaluated, and integrated independently of other resources. We find it useful to produce different lists of the API resources so that we can see them side by side, and understand how they compare.
We recently took a snapshot of the 70+ blockchain API resources that we’ve profiled and published as part of our API Gallery–painting an interesting picture of the overall blockchain API landscape.

Each individual API resource is defined as an OpenAPI, and is published in the Github repository for the blockchain API in the Streamdata.io API Gallery. Providing individual blockchain blueprints that can be turned into real-time block streams. All the information you need to make proxy and stream each of these API calls is available within the OpenAPI definition for each individual API resource.
We’ll keep profiling blockchain APIs and adding to the API Gallery. Adding to the number of blockchain resources, and expanding on the streaming opportunities around cryptocurrencies. If you know of a blockchain API that should be added, feel free to submit a pull request, or submit an issue via the GitHub repository for the project, and we’d be happy to include it as part of the index.
