Fetching multiple off-chain values from a smart contract

Being able to fetch and return multiple values from an off-chain API using Chainlink’s AnyAPI has been tricky in the past. Workarounds involved sending back multiple responses with the side effect of increased gas costs. This post shows how the Operator.sol contract makes multi-variable responses a possibility.

Blockspace is expensive and languages like Solidity don’t really have fully-fleshed out string-manipulation libraries. Nonetheless sometimes you need to fetch a large string. This post shows how to do so using Chainlink AnyAPI.
