Title: Bitcoin developer API? Post by: stevemcbuckeye on August 01, 2011, 08:41:38 PM Hi all,
Is there an API available for receiving and/or sending bitcoin transactions on a website? PHP or otherwise? Thanks! Title: Re: Bitcoin developer API?

Like most things it's a trade off, you need to trust blockchain to not feed you bogus data and you need to have your use case covered by their API. Oh, and like any service they sometimes have outages, but on the other hand maybe you'll have outages of your own bitcoind. If you can avoid running the client locally I'd advise to use the blockchain API. Title: Re: Bitcoin developer API?
