What are the differences between the Dune API and the Dune web app?
There are no major performance differences within a specific performance tier when used through the Dune API or Dune web app. The Dune API gives you programmatic access to the capabilities and data sets that can already be accessed from the Dune web app. The same queries and results exist in the web app, even if created/executed from the API (and vice versa).What are Sim APIs and how do they differ from the Dune API?
Sim APIs, formerly Echo, are a separate, developer-focused product by Dune, providing realtime access to EVM and SVM blockchain data.
