Title: Bitcoin API for free? Which best?
Post by: bikerleszno on May 07, 2017, 11:56:38 PM
Hello,

Please tell me which bitcoin api is best and for free. I was trying to use blocktrail but i have some problems with sdk. It is working just for one domain. For second on same server it doesnt want to work. Do u know any other api bitcoins? Of course easy to use. Blockchain is not giving api keys. So any others?

I think you can use the blockchain api instead than blocktrail..
Look for this link https://blockchain.info/api
And check this one for tutorial just found in google https://blog.blockchain.com/2015/07/30/building-bitcoin-websites-using-the-blockchain-api-video-tutorial/

Maybe this will help. i am not using blocktrail they only have less api than blockchain..

I wrote, blockchain is not good choice because they dont want to give api key. They refused my request so i am looking for something else.

And what kind of API do you want? Full wallet control (send/receive transactions) or just to get the network status (new blocks, txs...) ?

I'm using blockr.io for the network status.
You can also try block.io ( I have no experience, better do some search about them )

Depends what are you planning to do with it.Blockchain.info do give you keys if you are not doing something shady.Either way,let us know what exactly you need to do like code a block explorer or start a new wallet,accordingly I'll suggest.

You might want to check out these :

https://chain.so/api

https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/

I have used them in the past and they were okay for my needs, but as a person above mentioned it all depends on what you want to do. Just check these 2 that I have linked, hope that they will come handy for your future project.

Instead of using the SDK, why not using simple calls ?
I had a look at these and it can be hard to walk into, depending on your skills, you may create your own classes if you work with PHP, and secure the calls. For sure it would be a better sollution if you don't want to go with the hassle of implementing them.

I suggest you to stay with blockcyfer, as blockchain.info uses to stop their services sudently without notice, they may even stop the issuance of keys.
