# Developer Guild

### An introduction to the developer guild

The API3 developer guild is creating a network of developers interested in exploring the potential of first-party oracles and building with API3.

The developer guild empowers members of the API3 developer ecosystem to build tools and applications by providing the necessary resources, educational content, and opportunities.

### Benefits

The developer guild is a gated community of developers building within the API3 ecosystem. Our mission is to provide all necessary resources for hackers to build their portfolios, learn new skills and further develop the Defi ecosystem with the API3 products.

&#x20;Each member of the ecosystem has access to the curated community through a unique NFT, granting them access to:

* Access to the API3 Engineering & Developer Relations team&#x20;
* In-depth learning materials, tutorials, and workshops&#x20;
* Opportunities to contribute to API3 documentation and development
* Application support and feedback for API3 DAO Grants&#x20;
* Early access to the developer and non-tech bounties&#x20;
* Ability to enroll in the API3 user research programs bounties
* Early access to career opportunities&#x20;
* Exclusive hackathon workshops and mentoring support (inspiration and developer focused)
* Collaborative educational sessions with chain partners (such as quickstart and deep-dives)
* Visibility to the API3 and partner communities to support project/skillset awareness&#x20;
* Access to products & dApps beta programs&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://api3-ecosystem.gitbook.io/eco/contributors/community-guilds/developer-guild.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
