Title: Does mybitcoin.com have a public API?
Post by: Rage on May 14, 2011, 07:27:54 AM
Hello Everyone,

So I'm in the process of developing a new service for small or mobile merchants who want to easily accept Bitcoin payments but am looking for a service that I can tie into. Right now, I like MyBitcoin but can't find any details on if they have a public API or not. Does anyone know?  If not, do you know of any Bitcoin services like MyBitcoin that do?

Specifically, I need to have the ability to:

- Programatically create a new MyBitcoin (or other service) account
- Generate new Bitcoin addresses
- Query the service for a balance on an account
- Issue payments from an account

Thanks!
Rage

Can't do that with MyBitcoin.

- Generate new Bitcoin addresses

Also not possible. You just get one if I'm correct.

- Query the service for a balance on an account

You can query your own account.

- Issue payments from an account

Thanks!

You can do that from your own account.

I've been working on something like this, but it probably won't be ready for a few weeks.

You can do all of these things with Bitcoin Pouch. It exposes a JSON-RPC API similar to the one the official client does. It lives at https://bitcoinpouch.com/api/bitcoind, but please note you will need a Bitcoin Pouch account to use it.

You can play with it via an interactive terminal at https://bitcoinpouch.com/api/bitcoind/browse

Also note that we are in beta testing, so please report any bugs you find! Thanks. :-)
