Title: block.io alternatives
Post by: Zabulus on April 06, 2020, 02:19:55 PM
Sorry if this is the wrong sub forum.

Question: Is there anything like block.io that has an API and has multiple alt coins?

We use block.io to send funds to our users, but today they just removed the free option.

Looking for something like that, having trouble finding anything with API and is free

CoinPayments API  (https://www.coinpayments.net/apidoc-intro) should do the job. I believe they only charge a fee (0.50%) when you're accepting payments but not for withdrawals.

They charge fees on transfer of funds too.

On-chain transfers i.e. withdrawal to personal address is done free and they only charge network fees (which is high as well, for example, they charge 12 DOGE per transaction for Dogecoin which is 6 times the average dogecoin fees on other wallets).

Off-chain transfers are done @ 0.50% (this is what I think OP is looking for).

Bitpay is also a good alternative but you have to submit to some conditions.  New comers users may not be able to use it, although it also works as a private wallet.

Check the Coinbase API I don't think if how much the sending fee but according to their API you can send it free on off-blockchain.
Look at their API from here https://developers.coinbase.com/api/v2#send-money

They only have limited coins supported but this is the only safe wallet with API.
The only problem with this you don't have full control of your wallet and it will need a KYC verification.

Why not let them know(Your users) to switch on the Coinbase wallet?

DogeTipbot - discord, telegram, reddit...
