In the emerging Web3 world, data is the most valuable commodity, and oracle solutions provide a valuable role in facilitating the accurate and secure transmission of data between blockchains and data sources.
One project that is taking a different approach to developing oracles is API3 (API3), a project which harnesses application programming interfaces (APIs) to create first-party oracles through the use of decentralized APIs capable of broadcasting data directly to blockchain networks.

Three reasons for the resiliency in API3 price include a partnership with Amberdata to release beacon data feeds, the launch of Airnode on the Avalanche network and a new exchange listing at Binance.
The recent bullish momentum for API3 kicked off when the project revealed a new partnership with the digital data asset provider Amberdata to release beacon data feeds for the crypto community.

According to Amberdata, beacon data feeds “create a transparent, scalable and cost-effective solution for data providers to publish data feeds on-chain directly.”
As opposed to traditional data feeds that conceal where information is sourced, beacons utilize API3’s first-party oracles to feed data
