API To Send Payments. MtGox vs MyBitcoin vs CampBX

[jimbobway]

I need an API to send payments instantly.  At one point in time Mt. Gox had a way to send bitcoin payments instantly but I think it has been disabled.  CampBX just introduced an API to send payments but I don't know if it is instant or not. 

MyBitcoin has an SCI shopping cart interface but I don't know if they have the ability to send bitcoins instantly with an API.

For example, here is CampBX's instant payment call:

An API call to send Bitcoins to an address can be made in following format:
https://CampBX.com/api/sendbtc.php POST: user=USERNAME pass=PASSWORD BTCTo=ADDRESS BTCAmt=DECIMAL

What is the best way to send bitcoins instantly without having to wait for a block?  I don't mind if two users have to have an account at Mt. Gox or mybitcoin.com to send bitcoin payments to each other.

We will be going live soon with internal person to person BTC transfers.
I would like to say it will be available today but I don't want to disappoint if it takes another day or two.

Essentially you would use it like any other withdraw method on our site. This would also be available through the API.
Internal transfers will be nearly instant (up to 2 minutes maximum) and external transfers will be subject to normal processing time.

I've been working on an API at bit-bank: http://bit-bank.org/api_docs.php

To accomplish what you want, you'd make a call in the following format:

http://bit-bank.org/api.php?key=foo&token=bar&query=sendacc&to=seeARMS&amt=1.34

The key is your private, third-party API key, the token is a token associated with a user account (because I'd rather not send the password in the URL...), 'query' is the query to move bitcoins from one account to the other, 'to' is the opposite Bit-Bank account and amt is the amount.

Eventually I'd like to get a solid shopping cart interface created which ties into the API.

Ok, I'll be looking forward to this...I'll need it for the app I am working on.

First thing I noticed was no "https" in the api call which makes me not want to use it...

What are you trying to accomplish?

Suppose I am checking out and the store has an account at tradehill.com.  I have an account at tradehill.com.  I want to use tradehill (or whatever service) to send bitcoins to him instantly through an api call.  My coins in my tradehill account will go to the store's account instantly and I can leave.

It's because the site is getting transferred over to another VPS right now. SSL certificate is set up and everything. Should be transferred by tomorrow.

The Mt. Gox redeemable code / voucher api is used by the open sourced MtGoxLive Trader mobile app. 

The voucher can be issued for any BTC or USD denomination.

I was going to give a link to the Bitcoin-Trader project on GitHub, but I see that it is no longer published.

But I suppose that means an API exists for this new voucher product of theirs and it is functional.

You can send bitcoins to a Mt.Gox address, it'll be credited instantly (or you can make a Mt.Gox redeemable code, it works too, for BTC and USD).

We do not allow sending directly USD anymore (since June 27th) as it falls under "money transmission" and would require us to register to a crapload of things. If needed we may allow sending BTC instantly to a MTGOX account by number, however.
