Content Aggregators:
Simplifying Multi-Provider Integration
[Unified Content Distribution]
Building a comprehensive gaming platform requires content from dozens of providers. Managing individual contracts, technical integrations, and settlements with each is impractical. Content aggregators solve this challenge by providing unified access to multiple providers through a single API. Powersoft explains how aggregators streamline platform development.
What Is an Aggregator?
An aggregator acts as a middleware layer between your iGaming solution and multiple content providers, consolidating all integrations into one standardized interface.
Traditional vs Aggregated Integration
Without Aggregator: Platform → API A, API B, API C... (N integrations)
With Aggregator: Platform → Aggregator API → All Providers (1 integration)
