blockchain.info receive API not working

[runeks]

So I'm just testing the blockchain.info receive API (http://blockchain.info/api/api_receive) and I've created a receive address by sending the following request (using the test form on the site):

Code:

/api/receive?method=create&format=plain&address=19kiXZ7v5fr7p7SJyZSENqNudyMPpXJnV9&shared=true&callback=http%3A%2F%2Fruneks.dk%3A8154%2F%3Fusername%3Djimmy

The response was

Code:

{"input_address":"177uzgnG5uh4ZZjNyN1XTvAMajRmmoWjpq","callback_url":"http://runeks.dk:8154/?username=jimmy","fee_percent":0.5,"destination":"19kiXZ7v5fr7p7SJyZSENqNudyMPpXJnV9"}

I've sent two payments to 177uzgnG5uh4ZZjNyN1XTvAMajRmmoWjpq. I haven't received a callback for either of them, and the balance of that address has not been forwarded to 19kiXZ7v5fr7p7SJyZSENqNudyMPpXJnV9.

In an earlier test it worked (as you can see from the balance of 19kiXZ7v5fr7p7SJyZSENqNudyMPpXJnV9).

The "Fire Test Callback" test works fine. I can see that I receive a callback after pressing this button, but I have received no callbacks from the actual payments (nor have they been forwarded to my address).

Is it because I've used the same address twice?

I first tried to forward payments to the 19kiXZ7v5fr7p7SJyZSENqNudyMPpXJnV9 address and got the address 15WBVNkxhxKLgd1eewFAgH1BipuGpZeK3w back. I successfully sent funds to this address and they went to my 19kiXZ7v5fr7p7SJyZSENqNudyMPpXJnV9 address. But the above request, which should forward to the same address, doesn't work.

Addresses generated with shared=true should only be used once. If shared=false the address can be reused an unlimited number of times.

[runeks]

Although I did use the shared address twice, the first time I used it it didn't work either (which is why I tried again). Neither a callback was received nor was the payment forwarded to the address.

The shared address was created to forward to the same address as a previously created shared address (which was only used once). But I assume that's not a problem.

The payment just went through to the address. Did you manually process it?

same here. i tried it yesterday too and did not receive any BTC back to my "Receiving Address".
I tried it two times with different input_addresses, but only 0.001 and 0.0001 Value.

Today the Callback Test only say: "Error Sending Notification" <- cloudflare blocks you.
Tried again with a direct DNS, the Callback Test works, the 0.0001 BTC transaction is lost again. I don't want to try bigger when you have problems too.

Found another thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148948.0
=> I will not use this API.

Hello!

My boyfriend try to implant blockchain receive api on his website that is under development, and hes having the same problem. The payments not getting forwarded.
He tried 2 times with one Satoshi, then with 10 Satoshi.
The costumer support is not answering hes ticket.
Any ideas?

I would use the blockchain API for my site, but with so many bad reviews...

Does someone know a powerful API like the blockchain one?

I'm also using blockchain api and I've had some issues too. Sometimes the api returns an empty address but I had the same problem bitcoins not being redirected to the main address.
