I am using blockchain.info API to receive payment. Since yesterday, they have stopped forwarding funds. Does anyone know what is going on ?

Maybe they have some problems with the API, transactions are rolling in. Is the problem still unresolved? The APIs seem to be working from here, but I have never used the receive payment part.

API is working fine and generating address. But those generated addresses are not forwarding the fund to the main address. They are seating with the fund and I dont see any update regarding this on their twitter handle. If they acknowledge the problem, it is fine. Otherwise it is concerning.

They frequently go down for a few hours at a time. As easy as it is to implement their API it is not worth it.

Not really. They are the market leader and has to handle huge traffic. Also they are prone to frequesnt DDoS. But, the current problem is not related to that. Their service & API are working fine. Only funds are not getting forwarded.

blockchains API is very bad to receive any funds. It usually took me over 10 hours to get the funds forwarded to my address from my customers. Since then, I used Coinbase instead of blockchain.

As far as I know, even BitStamp uses BitGo API to send/received bitcoin fund. In fact using a trusted API is a better option unless u have a highly skilled security expert to secure your app server, which is very unlikely for StartUps. Anyways, we now have an official announcement from blockchain.info regarding this issue. So, nothing much to worry... API users: We are currently experiencing delays with payments forwarding. Thank you for your patience as we investigate the issue further. Source: https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/595212871560114176

... Disclosure: Don´t look at me as an expert! No questions please ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) I have had occasional trouble at blockchain.info, but they have resolved the two BTC issues/problems that came up OK. It can take a while though. They have a nice service called "SharedCoin" (coin mixing) that I like and use from time-to-time. * * * The only thing I could never get to work well was 2FA, neither via Google Authenticator nor via SMS messaging, so I cut off those options (this was months ago though) for my two wallets there. So now I just use blockchain.info for receiving BTC that I intend to spend or mix, and whatever BTC I intend to HODL I send off to my Ledger Nano or Trezor. (YMMV)

Blockchain.info needs to work on their API. Even for general usage, there have been quite a few issues as of late. Error messages such as "cannot handle transactions over 16kb in size" when using the mobile wallet Transactions being sent but for 0.00000000 btc instead of the entered value.... bah ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Why do people use the receive api that requires blockchain.info to forward the btc to their address when they can use the wallet api that sends the btc directly to a btc address generated in your blockchain.info account?

Problems are back again. Funds are stuck.Why do people use the receive api that requires blockchain.info to forward the btc to their address when they can use the wallet api that sends the btc directly to a btc address generated in your blockchain.info account?
Wallet API is used to send bitcoin, while Receive API is used to receive bitcoin.

Can you see the news above?
"News: ♦♦♦ If you are using any wallet other than Bitcoin Core 0.10.x or 0.9.5, then you should not trust incoming transactions until they have ~30 confirmations. More info."
Just don't use any online wallet these days. Use only Bitcoin Core for sending funds without a problem.

I heard blockchain often get problem with their wallet & API services. Some merchant already stopped using their API because many problems. Just do it manually or use other API ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Unfortunately there is no proper send/receive API alternative of blockchain.info. People suggest to use bitcoin core, but it is not a viable soultion for all start-ups as it requires VPS implementation and continuously running cron, which is expensive. AFAIK, there is no JSON-RPC available for bitcoin core which call back a certain application URL, when an address receive balance, which is the advantage of using blockchain.info API.

We are all experiencing similar problem because blockchain is passing through some stress test but that will soon come to an end.
