We already have a platform we call Cardano Blockchain Intelligence (https://bi.stakepoolcentral.com) to enable users to manually search for Cardano metadata messages and browsing the different data types. The platform has even been called the "Google of Cardano Metadata".
Since going live, we have experienced first hand how the platform needs increasingly more computing power to deliver fast data access. This is why we proposed some enhancements in Catalyst Fund6 to enhance both functionality and response time.
Now that this proposal has been delivered successfully, we want to address the need for developers to also have this access. Our site has been designed to provide data access for users wanting to browse blockchain data manually. Developers need access to data without having to cope with possible user interface changes breaking their search. We want to add JSON api for our site data, so developers can search the blockchain using our already running platform
Access to blockchain data requires more and more computing resources. Increased requirements for computing resources, means increased cost for developers wanting fast and reliable access to Cardano data. During the months and years since Cardano Shelley mainnet, the requirements have increased dramatically and is no longer affordable and available for everyone. We want to expand our running Blockchain Intelligence site with a JSON api to make our fast search engine available to developers without each having to run their own Cardano search platform.
JSON is an established standard developers use when communicating and querying data from sites. The beauty of providing JSON API to developers is that the site user interface can change without breaking the functionality developers already use.
We do not foresee any difficulties regarding the project delivery. The api will be developed using established technology and standards.
