As AI and Web3 converge, the value of data as an asset is becoming increasingly prominent. Since its establishment, RootData has been dedicated to providing comprehensive, accurate, and reliable Web3 project data, distilling the most valuable information in a noisy market to meet users' needs in project research, business development, investment reference, data integration, and more.

As of March, RootData has recorded over 16,000 Web3 projects, 12,000 individuals, 8,500 funding rounds, and token unlock data for over 300 projects. This data is collected and organized by dedicated AI agents and data personnel, and after secondary manual verification, it is stored, striving for full recognition from users and the market in terms of accuracy, timeliness, and reliability. Today, RootData's cumulative user count exceeds 3 million, with over 400,000 independent monthly active users, making it one of the most sticky and well-reviewed data products in the crypto market.

Meanwhile, after more than a year of launch and multiple iterations, the RootData API has gradually gained adoption from more and more clients, becoming a powerful tool for them to conduct data analysis, expand their business, and enhance user engagement, helping them seize opportunities in the wave of the decentralized economy.

1. Why Use RootData API?

The RootData API, as a professional-grade data interface provided by the RootData platform, allows users to programmatically access its vast Web3 data resources, including project information, funding records, investor data, and individual backgrounds, aiming to enhance users' data acquisition efficiency and better meet customer needs for data research, product integration, and enriching AI corpora.

Currently, the RootData API has been adopted by over 100 clients, including well-known projects such as OKX, Blockworks, GoPlus Security, SoSoValue, Alva, Questflow, Adot, Tearline, ChainCatcher, TechFlow, BlockTempo, Mask Network, TokenPocket, and 0xScope.

Among these collaborative projects, AI-related projects have recently become the main API partners, primarily benefiting from RootData's structured and reliable data, which can significantly enrich the expertise of AI agents in the crypto field, such as project funding and team information, thereby providing more professional and reliable services when answering user inquiries.

Wallets and media products are also major clients of the API, as the RootData API can provide rich project data information, helping them enhance the information on project pages, such as detailed descriptions, investors, team members, social media links, etc., thereby stimulating users to engage in transactions, searches, and more.

Additionally, for industry researchers, the RootData API can provide a series of finely-grained data, including popular project and individual rankings, token prices and FDV, historical investment and financing data and trends, allowing any researcher to make secondary processing and organization based on the data provided by these APIs, thus gaining insights into market hotspots, discovering alpha opportunities, and judging future trends.

Through the RootData API, clients can efficiently obtain more comprehensive and accurate project data information without arranging dedicated personnel to collect and update data, reducing costs while enhancing efficiency. The RootData API is seamlessly embedding into various clients' workflows like "LEGO blocks."

2. What Does RootData API Include?

1. Project Data

Currently, RootData has recorded over 16,000 Web3 projects, including detailed descriptions, one-sentence introductions, social media links (X, Telegram, Github, Blog, Gitbook, as well as Coingecko, Coinmarketcap, DeFillama links), tags, ecosystems, investors, founding years, operational status, token issuance status, key events, contract addresses, token prices, X influence index, and other rich information. If you need to display a large number of project introductions and links in your product or filter specific projects from a large pool, this API can help you efficiently obtain relevant information.

2. Individual Data

Currently, RootData has recorded over 12,000 well-known individuals in the Web3 industry, including their detailed introductions, one-sentence introductions, social media links (X, LinkedIn, blogs), work experience, educational background, etc. This data is among the richest, most professional, and accurate individual information in the entire Web3 industry, providing irreplaceable value for indexing project team information or introducing entities on Twitter.

3. Investor Data

Currently, RootData has recorded over 10,000 investors, including projects, institutions, and individuals. The RootData API supports bulk exporting of all investors' introductions, external investment quantities, investment projects, investment preferences, and other data, which is very helpful for efficiently filtering investor information.

4. Funding Round Data

Currently, RootData has recorded over 8,600 investment and financing data points, including funding dates, amounts, valuations, investors, source links, etc., and provides bulk export functionality in the API to allow clients to conduct more detailed and professional analyses based on funding data or integrate it into their own products and services.

It is worth mentioning that in response to the current situation where many projects falsely report funding amounts, the RootData API will also return the credibility data of the funding to further assist users in processing data as needed. This is also a specific manifestation of RootData's focus on credibility and differentiated advantages in data construction.

5. Various Ranking Data

Based on the extensive data collected and organized, RootData has also integrated Top 100 popular projects, X popular projects, X popular individuals, X influence rankings, and other rankings into the API. For third-party products (especially wallets and social products), integrating these rankings can help their users more efficiently understand the distribution of market attention and specific rankings, enhancing user exploration and engagement.

6. Synchronous Updates

When project content is updated, including logos, detailed descriptions, social media links, etc., this interface will list the names and IDs of these projects for clients to update project information accordingly.

In addition to regular name, token, and contract address matching queries, the RootData API also supports precise X account searches, meaning that by searching for an X account handle, you can accurately return the type of that account and detailed introduction. For example, querying "@saylor" will reveal that this account belongs to Michael Saylor, along with his one-sentence introduction and detailed description.
