Title: Using PHP to interact with MultiBit
Post by: hardcode on April 14, 2015, 05:34:36 PM
Hello

I got a PHP app and I wish to use MultiBit as a bitcoin backend. Is there any way I can interact with MultiBit?

Thanks

There is no API into MultiBit itself no.

MultiBit uses the library bitcoinj for all the Bitcoin network stuff so you are probably better to wrap that directly.
If you have a look in the bitcoinj Tools module you might get some ideas - for instance there is a command line utility for wallet operations. Perhaps you could wrap that.

Multibit is an open source project. If you really want to use Multibit you could make an API on both sides.
Why not use a bitcoin library for php? that would save you a lot of time  :)
