The Data Aggregator API is designed to aggregate data from predefined sources on the web. It acts as an intermediary layer between the internet layer (web) and the verification layer (Data Bank). The collected data is then processed and sent securely to the Data Bank for hashing and storage.
The API aggregates data from specified sources on the web, ensuring a comprehensive collection of information for further processing.
Collected data undergoes processing to extract relevant information, preparing it for secure storage on the verification layer.
The API seamlessly integrates with the Data Bank contract, sending processed data for secure hashing and storage on the Merkle tree.

- Security Considerations Implement secure communication protocols (e.g., HTTPS) to protect data during transit.
Regularly update and patch dependencies to address potential security vulnerabilities.
Enforce proper access controls to restrict unauthorized access to sensitive endpoints.
Monitor API usage patterns to detect and mitigate potential security threats.
