Title: New feature idea for Bitcoin Client Post by: tbeau1 on June 19, 2011, 07:39:37 AM How about adding a feature to the Bitcoin Client that would upon receiving or confirming a payment, send POST data to a URL that includes the amount received, address sent from, address sent to, and time received.
Also, possibly also a feature doing the same for outgoing payments. Possibly an easier solution than API through a 3rd party.

This site keeps track on all blocks and all transactions.

One of the many things the site would offer is a graph of my Bitcoin balance over time, so I can see how it has increased/decreased.
Title: Re: New feature idea for Bitcoin Client Post by: willphase on June 19, 2011, 01:43:11 PM the bitcoin json api (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list) already allows access to this information. You would need to write a script that polls for your balance and then does your POST.
Using blockexplorer is better though - just export your PUBLIC keys from your wallet using bitcointools and then write an app that polls blockexplorer for transactions... in fact that's not a bad idea for a webpage, I might code that up if I have some spare time. Will |
