Title: API for Search Bitcoin Post by: jostmey on September 05, 2011, 01:49:31 PM We have finally finished moving Search Bitcoin (http://www.searchbitcoin.com/) to our new VPS, and the website can now handle a larger volume of traffic.
We will be working on releasing our API to the public. In short, we want to allow open access to our data. Here are links to the API documentation. It is in a rough state, but I will work on improving it. Basically, the API works through JSONP.
Let me know if you are particular features that you would like to see in the API. Also, if you plan on using the API please contact me, so that I know you are using it :-) I can provide example JavaScript files for accessing the API.

A request .. not for the API but for the site itself. When I click on an item in the left pane (the "Live Feed"), what happens is the content in the right pane (the "Review Store") is updated with the item I clicked on. However, that isn't intuitive and only realized that is what is happening after coming back to the site a few times. Can there be some UX improvement on that? If needed, maybe some animation or something to show how the click on the left results in a content update on the right? Additionally, what would be a useful would be a "latest additions" view, so that I can see just what is new. And lastly, ... a contact / feedback mechanism for requests like this perhaps?

Check out www.searchbitcoin.com/test and tell me if the changes are more intuitive. Additionally, what would be a useful would be a "latest additions" view, so that I can see just what is new.

Thanks for the advice :-) Title: Re: API for Search Bitcoin Post by: Stephen Gornick on September 30, 2011, 07:42:49 PM Check out www.searchbitcoin.com/test and tell me if the changes are more intuitive. Hey, an active panel -- that works! Title: Re: API for Search Bitcoin Post by: jostmey on October 03, 2011, 03:05:05 AM URL: http://www.searchbitcoin.com/test Thanks - Jared |
