The complexity of blockchains makes it impossible for everyone to interact with them directly; thus, to benefit from the advantages offered by these networks, developers need specific Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)

Here is why we need APIs: https://twitter.com/ankr/status/1388055706260082689

1/ @Binance Smart Chain API

Using the #BSC API through Ankr grants you access to all the data stored on that chain.

Please note that Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain are different chains and need different API access to the respective chains.

2/ @ethereum

Having API access will make it much easier to maintain an active Dapp on #ETH and supplying it with relevant data.

3/ @Polkadot

Ankr’s API services can give you a jumpstart in building Dapps on #Polkadot, allowing you to access, extract and use all the data that you might require in the process. Additionally, they can enable you to interact with other parachains.

4/ @kusamanetwork

#Kusama can help if you want to test your Substrate project. The API service can navigate you through Substrarte’s expanding ecosystem and help you find the right location for your Dapp.

5/ Layer2 API services

If you’re considering migrating your #ETH Dapp to @xDai or @Polygon to optimize user experience with greater speed and lower transaction costs, you’ll need to migrate a lot of data — and having API access will make this process as seamless as possible.
