Bitcoin-Central.net API technical support thread

[davout]

I copy-pasted you line

$ curl -X POST https://bitcoin-central.net/api/v1/trade_orders -d '{ "amount" : 1, "type" : "buy", "currency" : "EUR" }' -u 'david@bitcoin-central.net:***' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

replacing only the username:password part
and I still get
{"error":"Invalid or expired Google Authenticator OTP"}

You need to disable Google Authenticator in order to be able to authenticate against the API for the time being.
A second authentication factor is useless from a security point of view if you can bypass it by hitting an API instead of a web interface.

I'm looking into this issue as we speak, in the meantime the only way to use the API is to disable Google Authenticator.

I noticed that after having more than 20 quotes (even expired ones)

curl -X GET https://bitcoin-central.net/api/v1/quotes

returns only the first 20 quotes instead of showing the whole list of all the quotes.

You'll need to read the "Pagination" section.

Thank you davout.

Now, I noticed that if one user creates quotes for many thousand EUR, that may significantly drive the quote's rate higher for another user.
This gives me concern that any API user can create many quotes maliciously driving the rate for quotes higher and rendering it impossible for merchants to provide a near-market price when using the invoice API.

Could you please speak to that.

I'm trying to get a csv of account_operations.

Is there a way to get all account_operations (withouth the pagination stuff)?

Is there any information about "Real-time updates using Socket.io" ?

There have been promises of improvements and big announcements but nothing much moves. Not even answers to our concerns/questions here.

I'm starting to feel a little disappointed in bitcoin-central.

No.
We can pull them for you if you request it.

It is being used in production, but the API isn't considered stable enough yet to be properly documented.

Could you be a little more specific ?
