You probably should upgrade your Bitcoin Core, since 0.17.1 is outdated by now and there are are some new/removed commands. Your privacy policy says you can give our information to anymore for any reason.
Anyone signing up should use a throw away email.
And make sure to not reveal your real IP or send any personal information through the API. Thank you for the information! The Bitcoin Core version will be updated as soon as possible, we are working on it.

Good project. A small suggestion here. Your process to provide API Key should not be manual, like through email comunication. One should sign up and generate his/her API Key automatically. Also, it is good if you allow to test your features without any API key in the first place. That would of course be within limit and you can apply those limit through IP restriction.

Thank you for the nice words and your recommendations! We've just launched and are working on our platform, we would like to implement such a feature as soon as possible, that would be great.

With our API key you can connect not just to one Bitcoin node, but to all the nodes we provide (more than 20 for now). Currently, we are still in the process of development, if you are interested in our project, just follow our news, many new features and options are coming!

I mean, do a little comparison between connecting to full node and using your service? What data do you collect or may store? or your Privacy policy? not only IP but list of addresses

We provide a complex solution for app developers and blockchain users, it means, if you want to build your own blockchain project, you don't need to spend time and resources for launching and maintaining full cryptocurrencies' nodes yourself, you can get access to them via GetBlock, and they will be instantly connected to your business project, which facilitates all the process. We store only IP and email addresses.

Do I need to email you to notify you (again) about your privacy policy? It states you can change the terms at any time, and everyone agrees to such changes as soon as you change the date on the policy page. Is your revenue based on the sale of usage information? What is to stop you from creating lists of people who are interested in certain coins?

Hello! We have a standard privacy policy, we are not going to change our standards and rules as well any other information in this document. We do not sale or share any customers' information either. The platform has been recently launched and now is in the so-called trial period, that's is why we provide free and unlimited access to blockchain nodes. Thank you!
