We are always improving things, yes its a nasty one but however many unit tests you perform some things do slip through  We would always recommend users of our API have their own fail-safes in place on top of what we have. |

We commented on this at the time (almost 2 weeks ago now), i believe this is from BitGo?
A BRL exchange put out bad data and a bug in our sanity checks let it pass briefly because it was the only local currency market at the time. This logic has since been reworked.

We are still unaware of a public API, are we missing something?

Maybe this will be the reason that I actually end up using Alexa, the only sad thing that I'm noticing with using it is that what's going to end up happening is that it's just going to replace my simple google searches throughout the day and maybe some time looking for charts on bitcoin. Anyone else can find a usage for Alexa that wouldn't take a couple minutes of simple looking. Me: Alexa - enable BitcoinAverageAlexa: There are multiple skills named BitcoinAverage. Use the app to learn how to enable them (paraphrased) Me: Alexa - ask BitcoinAverage for the current priceAlexa: Hmm. I don't know how to answer that question (paraphrased) Me: <grumble, goes back to the computer to look up the proper phrase> Me: Alexa - enable BitcoinAverageAlexa: There are multiple skills named BitcoinAverage. Use the app to learn how to enable them (paraphrased) Me: Alexa - how do I enable BitcoinAverage?Alexa: OK - I have enabled BitcoinAverage. You can use this skill for a number if uses. It may take some time before it can be used (paraphrased) Me:  Me: Alexa - ask BitcoinAverage for the current priceAlexa: Hmm. I don't know how to answer that question (paraphrased) Yup - just about the way every interaction with Alexa seems to go for me. Maybe she'll be ready in an hour. Dad-gummed temperamental bot thingy... In all honesty this is how most of my interactions go with Siri and all the other artificial intelligence things on phones today. At least Alexa kind of knows that you're trying to say, when I ask Siri things it just texts the wrong people and gets everything I say in a butchered way. Do you think it's worth the money to buy it? It's still new tech, I think it all depends on what the end user needs from such voice services. As i say personally i use it for many automation tasks throughout my home, lighting, security, media etc. The power of this stuff isn't truly unleashed until you say "Alexa, lets watch a film", then the relevant lights in the room set to the correct dim, TV turns on and starts Kodi etc  |

Dad-gummed temperamental bot thingy... Yup, these are some pitfalls/growing pains with Alexa for sure!, though with some clear slow speech you may achieve better results, as I've found personally at least. I actually have Alexa controlling my home automation! You can of course enable it via your app, but it should work enabling via voice, we've tested it a lot and it performs well! You aren't in Germany are you? |

This is one cool gadget and it will be a big hit. When this app goes boom in the market it will bring the same impact to bitcoins. The more well known the item the more well known will bitcoin be. I am glad that I can really read this kind of innovation that can uplift the situation of bitcoin towards being adopted by the masses. Hope I have some funds to purchase it.
Its free! |

Any plans to link wallets and/or record %increase/decrease since last checked? Those are pretty useful for ppl into day trading
The increase since last check is a nice idea. Features specific to users need us to link our DB to the skill which for sure is possible. I'll add them to our tracker! |

Wow this is really cool update. I have watched video of amazon alexa several times and it is really useful and cool device. It will be easier to ask alexa from bed every morning "Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the bitcoin price" than searching for mobile on early morning and check price.
Great to hear, please give us feedback via email if there are some improvements you'd like to see. For those who are new to Alexa devices, you can install this skill simply by saying "Alexa, enable BitcoinAverage" |

We rarely post new threads outside out project development one, but thought users would find this interesting! - Currently the skill is available in US, UK and will be added to DE soon, along with any upcoming locales.
Introducing the BitcoinAverage Amazon Alexa skill It's very cool We are pleased to introduce our very own Amazon Alexa skill. Text-to-speech devices are becoming more and more popular each day, with their growth set to skyrocket in the coming months and years we thought it was best to get involved early and provide our users with this useful app! The Alexa skills store already has a few hobbyist bitcoin skills, but we felt it was time for a more featureful one, backed by our world renowned index. There are two ways to invoke our Alexa skill, your first option is to call it directly: You: Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the current price. Alexa: The price of bitcoin is 1000.39 USD. You can make this request directly, while Alexa is in idle state. This is most useful when you want a quick answer to a single question. Of course you can compose more complex queries such as: You: Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage to convert ten bitcoin to euros. Alexa: 10 bitcoin is 9404.20 EUR. We offer 5 major features, all of which can be invoked with multiple phrases, choose what comes most natural to your way of speaking. The Bitcoin price in US dollars: - Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the bitcoin price
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the price
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the price of bitcoin
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the current price
- Alexa, what is the price at BitcoinAverage
- Alexa, get the current price from BitcoinAverage
The Bitcoin price in any of the 170 worldwide currencies we support: - Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the price in pound
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the price in E.U.R
- say your desired currency by spelling the three letter short code like above
The Bitcoin price at a specific exchange in dollars or other supported currencies: - Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the price at bitstamp (The price in us dollars is the default, if you omit the currency.)
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage for the price at kraken in E.U.R.
Currently we support the following exchanges and orderbooks: - Bitstamp (USD, EUR)
- Bitfinex (USD)
- Kraken (USD, EUR, JPY, CAD)
- Gdax (USD, EUR, GBP)
- Btce (USD, EUR, RUB)
- Gemini (USD)
- Itbit (USD, EUR, SGD)
Convert specific amount of fiat currency to bitcoin: - Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage to convert ten thousand euros to bitcoin
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage to convert five hundred dollars to bitcoin
Convert specific amount of bitcoin to fiat: - Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage to convert ten bitcoin to sterling
- Alexa, ask BitcoinAverage to convert two bitcoin to yuan
If you would like to see any additional features in our next release, please let us know via the usual channels!

Hey Bitcoinaverage-Team,
hope this is not the wrong place to ask, however I have a question regarding your api (limitations):
As there are api request limitations (monthly) on most of your plans I was wondering how this is applied to websocket feeds?
If I subscribe to a certain feed, I assume I get updates pushed to the client?
How does this count against a monthly api limit.. is each push counted as a request or only the websocket subscribe?
Thanks in advance for any clarification!
Matt
Apologies for the very long response, I have updated notifications from this forum so we're informed of any future replies. WS limits are handled differently, we currently allow more client connections for paying users. Update frequencies also vary across plans with the free user at 20 seconds I believe right now. If you have any other questions feel free to email us directly! |

Seems like Yen volume in BTC was very low. Now all of a sudden it's more than 7% of global volume?!  Why is Quinone exchange not being ignored for it's zero-fee model, the way the bogus CNY exchanges are? This is a very good point, and its something we are still working on. We will shortly be adding some CNY exchanges to the index, weighted using various new factors that enables us to spot which exchanges are operating "out of the ordinary" shall we say  The reason Quoine were included is we ran their book against our algorithm initially and it didn't actually pick up any untoward behaviour (at least to the level of other unnamed exchanges). We will follow up with more detail on this via our blog when things are tested further, hope that answers your question at least for now |

For a long time this was a relatively inactive thread. I love the bitcoinaverage project. But to be honest if you're going to start bumping this thread everytime someone writes a blogpost I'm thinking I'll remove it from my watchlist. This just isn't very useful. I think that anyone who wants to follow your blog can do so through your blogging interface. I think that continuous bumps for it here just look kinda desperate. MHO.
Sorry you feel that way. We're simply trying to build a stronger presence and this is one way that we provide information for the community. I'll keep what you've said in mind as to not deter followers. The thread itself is a place to correlate all appropriate media coverage and information about what is happening in the BitcoinAverage space. The reality is, many users that use the forum may not sign up for the blog. This is just another outlet to keep our users informed and share our thoughts with the community. Your input is very much appreciated and perhaps a weekly or by-weekly post with all relevant coverage is more appropriate. Thanks for sharing your input. Thanks for the reply. When I see the thread is updated everyday and I come here just to find out that someone posted on a blog, and the blog isn't even about bitcoinaverage, it's just someone at bitcoinaverage commenting on other bitcoin news....Yes, I do think weekly or bi-weekly would be nicer. Hi Tspacepilot, I'll ensure the thread isn't bumped for the sake of it, after all its primarily a medium for support and service updates. I hope you'll enjoy some of our current and future changes |

Just checked out the site and I gotta say pretty nice.
I especially like under [Charts] how you've given the ability to quickly enter a specific begin/end date for viewing or export.
Hi, and thanks for the comment Just an update that we are progressing well with v2 of the API, if anyone has feature requests please send us an email > info@bitcoinaverage.com |

Would y'all and the Mycelium gang make it so that the trades on Mycelium LocalTrader are also included in BitcoinAverage, please?
Thanks for your time.
We have emailed them a few times recently actually with no response. Best if you contact them direct, the more of their own users that email in the more likely they will get it done |

Do you support TLS 1.2 SSL ?
I am trying to use your API for an IOS project and i get SSL errors.
Hi, please do email us with your issues/errors. We apologise for how little we check this forum, its just not the focal point it used to be . We will however response to any emails very quickly. |

Thanks for sharing here that the site has been fixed and running again.
I guess this is sarcastic. But indeed is is good to see that there's no problem with bitcoinaverage. I use it as the price tracker in my wallets. Hi tspacepilot, just wanted to say thanks for the consistent kind words. We would have loved to progress the project much further over the years, but due to lack of funds this isn't possible. I guess this is the nature of open source and providing a completely free service! On that note though, if anyone is interested in a role and highly experienced in python please do contact us, we have approx. 80% of an overhaul complete. |
