Title: Blockchain Receive Payment API Post by: jmasterson on April 24, 2015, 09:42:23 AM How reliable is their service? Anobody using this? How's your experience?
Title: Re: Blockchain Receive Payment API Post by: Muhammed Zakir on April 24, 2015, 10:59:58 AM Their service is good. It is pretty easy to setup. If you ask me before I knew about Blocktrail, I would have said Blockchain.info is my favorite explorer and it's payment service is great but after I knew about Blocktrail, it is better than Blockchain.info and it now offers payment API too. So I will use it. Main reason I go with Blocktrail is because of Blockchain.info's corrupted data. It isn't always corrupted though.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990348.0 I wish there were tutorials like that for chain.com and their api. Title: Re: Blockchain Receive Payment API Post by: jmasterson on April 24, 2015, 12:55:13 PM I saw this in the API page of blockchain.info
Requests in 8 Hours: 39 (Soft Limit = 28800, Hard Limit = 28900) Requests in 5 minutes: 1 (Soft Limit = 700, Hard Limit = 725) Does anybody know what it means? I plan to query every block generated then get all the transaction details, does that mean I can only query the blockchain data api once every 5 minutes? if there are many transactions in a block i want to query each transaction.

I wish some of the more knowledgeable coders in these forums would create tutorials. I created those since none existed and I'm no professional just a hobbyist so we could probably learn some pretty cool things if a pro put together some tutorials. As for chain.com I've never tried them, I'll have to check it out.

I don't understand why are you using receive payment API for this use. Can you please clarify?

I don't understand why are you using receive payment API for this use. Can you please clarify? The receive payment api has a callback url. I'm asking if there is a limit how many callbacks can they make to my site. What if i make a game that makes use of the callback api and many players would play the game, will the callbacks be "throttled" since they have a limit? I hope I made a clear explanation. :) Title: Re: Blockchain Receive Payment API Post by: coinableS on April 24, 2015, 07:33:57 PM I saw this in the API page of blockchain.info Requests in 8 Hours: 39 (Soft Limit = 28800, Hard Limit = 28900) Requests in 5 minutes: 1 (Soft Limit = 700, Hard Limit = 725) Does anybody know what it means?

You can hit it 700 times in a 5 minute period (two times per second). You can hit it 28,800 times in an 8 hour period (once every second).

I think you can request for an API key which will give decrease your limits. |
