[jambola2]

If you want a simpler API, try the Blockchain.info API

Simply query "https://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/ADDRESS" to get the balance in satoshis in plaintext.
Unlike block.io, it doesn't require any installs or auth keys.

This returns your balance in satoshis

Code:

<?php
function getBalance($address) {
    return file_get_contents('https://blockchain.info/de/q/addressbalance/'. $address);
}

echo 'Address Balance: ' . getBalance('1EzwoHtiXB4iFwedPr49iywjZn2nnekhoj');

and this your balance in btc

Code:

 <?php
function getBalance($address) {
    return file_get_contents('https://blockchain.info/de/q/addressbalance/'. $address);
}

$insatoshi =  getBalance('1EzwoHtiXB4iFwedPr49iywjZn2nnekhoj');
$intbtc = $insatoshi / 100000000;
echo 'Address Balance: ' . $intbtc;

[esotericizm]

if using jquery you could also do

Code:

var addr = "15urYnyeJe3gwbGJ74wcX89Tz7ZtsFDVew";
$.getJSON('https://insight.bitpay.com/api/addr/' + addr + '/balance', function(balance){
  $('#balance').html(balance / 100000000);
});

Insight servers are open, but you need to find them. Simple curl requests will do.

Stratum servers (they power electrum) do the same, but you can find a list of them using IRC. Stratum offers SPV proofs for a transaction, so you can prove it was in the blockchain and they're not feeding you lies.
I wrote a PHP library for working with stratum servers. https://github.com/Bit-Wasp/stratum-php

It might be worth writing a library in JS to talk to stratum servers, I haven't seen one yet.

Edit: Avoid using the BC.I API. They've had extraordinary number of problems. Just use something that talks to a full node.

i think the code is somewhere throwing the error

You can use a blockchain explorer. You can look for them online. This is useful if you dont have your bitcoin wallet at hand. All bitcoin addresses are visible publicly in the blockchain. All you need to have is the bitcoin address or the transaction id.

Works perfectly, however, wouldn't you still need the key for the blockchain api or am I wrong?

Hahaha. You guys.

There's an easier way. (A much easier way) If you don't care about the low quality. Just try it out!
