Title: "blockchain.info"-type API for litecoin?
Post by: payb.tc on July 07, 2012, 11:21:01 PM
the api (specifically JSON output) of blockchain.info has been extremely useful to me in various places, especially recently in bitcoinmax.

is there anything out there like this for litecoin?

I have adapted ABE to use the PPC chain, and while I was poking around in its source I found some customizations already in place for Litecoin.

I did not dig too deep into them as I was concentrating on PPC, but the thought had crossed my mind after the PPC customization was closer to a maintenance stage, to start a chain info site for Litecoin also.

However , as I found out, block chain sites and program customization is ALOT of work and I would be just as happy if somebody beat me to a Litecoin blockchain site.   ;)

Any progress? It would be great to have a Litecoin version of the "Receive Payments API" from blockchain.info!

unfortunately i have a lot of work in my day job (like 14h per day) so had no time for litecoin the last days :(
i hope it gets better the next few days/weeks so i have more free time to go further in development..

I'm making a wallet for Litecoin, and it will have api. I posted a thread about it on the Litecoin forums. http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,1301.0.html

I wrote this.  It's designed to scale well, leveldb, etc.  

In the process of sticking it on it's own server, making it scale horiz as well, etc..  

If you're willing to help me beta test PLEASE PM me.   It's ready for others to try.  

I don't really want to release it without at least a couple more eyeballs on it.
