Abstract
Individual datasets are accessed using an application programming interface (API). Multiple APIs may be combined into a composite API that allows a user to access multiple datasets using a single query. The composite API may be designed to provide a simpler way to consume information from multiple datasets in response to a particular scenario or problem. The composite API may comprise multiple levels of intermediate APIs that call on each other to access desired datasets. A user may select the datasets that the composite API accesses and/or the composite API may require certain specific datasets. The composite API may be offered for sale or use by other users via a website, such as a data market.
