How to gather data from the real-world (i.e.: APIs) and boost your smart contracts built with Convector Suite. Oracles are the means by which a smart contract can access data from off the chain. An oracle is more than just code — it’s a kind of trusted entity that everybody relies upon to “reflect” real-life data into the chain keeping the track of the requested resource. The oracle computes the requests, gets the data, and “restarts” the transaction by calling the function __callback() inside of the original smart contract.
