Title: Calculate the value of the BitCoin Post by: thommartens on July 15, 2015, 10:16:18 PM Hi,
I want to make an application in PHP for myself to experiment with. In that app I want to display the current live value of the BitCoin. Is there a way to calculate the value, or is if it's not possile, what is the "main source" of the BitCoin value. And with the "main source" I mean, is there an offical API out where you can request the live BitCoin value. I am pretty new into the BitCoin, so every answer is helpful. Thanks, Thom Title: Re: Calculate the value of the BitCoin Post by: achow101 on July 16, 2015, 02:19:56 AM By value do you mean price? The price is not set, nor is there an official API for it. You can however go to each of the major exchanges and use their API to retrieve current market data and create your own price of Bitcoin calculation.

No other answer. Title: Re: Calculate the value of the BitCoin Post by: wonderloops on July 16, 2015, 02:21:37 AM There is no 'main source'. You could either pick one of many exchange-rates (which differ from eachother), or make up your own index from them.
Some public API's can be found here BTC-E (https://btc-e.com/api/3/ticker/btc_usd) Bitstamp (https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/) Bitfinex (https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/pubticker/btcusd) Title: Re: Calculate the value of the BitCoin Post by: Dabs on July 16, 2015, 02:29:09 AM bitcoinaverage.com
