Hello,

I would like to write a script to launch bitcoind each 24 hours and stop it after sync, but I don't find any API call to get the synchronization to the blockchain status.

Which API call should I use to know when bitcoind is synchronized to the network ?

Thanks  Smiley

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I don't know of any. If I were you, I would probably check against blockexplorer.com, blockchain.info and twitter.com/blockheaders, for example.
