Getting API Data for Azure Blockchain

Hello,


I was wondering if Azure had a means to input off-chain API data into the blockchain. What solution is currently used ? Is "cryptlet" the solution that Azure is working on ?

    Are you looking to use some kind of Oracle? What type of information are you trying to push into the blockchain and what is the scenario? What level of security are you comfortable with by taking this approach?

      I want to connect to a CRM / ERP / ECM system from a smart contract to look up data.
      What happened to the "cryptlet" concept?
      I'd expect something like defining the connection to an external system (endpoint, request/response message, access credentials) as part of a smart contract - so it's immutable - to guarantee security of my blockchain solution.

      Thanks

        Getting data from outside the blockchain will be tricky in terms of maintaining security. We are working cryptlets, which is in private preview), which will be able to accomplish this type of scenario.
