Hello everyone! We are thrilled to announce blockread.io, an API for Bitcoin BTC that we believe can be a valuable tool for developers building applications using Bitcoin network data. Blockread.io is a flexible and user-friendly API that allows developers to interact with the Bitcoin network and leverage Bitcoin as a payment method. Try blockread.io and experience how easy it is to build powerful Bitcoin applications. You can check out our documentation at https://api.blockread.io/btc/docs and the Swagger at https://btc.blockread.io/swagger. We would love to hear your feedback about blockread.io. Our team has put a lot of effort into making blockread.io a valuable resource for developers working with Bitcoin, and we hope you'll give it a try. Thank you for considering blockread.io for your development needs. We look forward to hearing from you! P.S This is our donation address in case anyone wants to support our project Bitcoin: bc1q5rc6wwmz2053k70d5cqge7xgdv48hmevpr8sme Zcash: t1V9QMioEB9vxEfzXTwoJM2y7mmYsQwYQPN Best, Blockread Team Update: Now we support BCH and LTC as well https://api.blockread.io/bchhttps://api.blockread.io/ltcthe documentation is the same as BTC

The API that you provide really helps developers to be able to develop APPs that require data from the BTC data network. The documentation provided is also very easy for developers to understand. However, it seems that the website cannot be accessed, it seems that it has not been fully developed. But overall this is a pretty good project.

We don't have a landing page yet, we were busy with the service and not good at front-end stuff to be honest, will take care of it soon But the service itself is developed and accessible now!

But it's a very good API

Great project. I would certainly be open to trying it in the future. Yes, You are right! We don't have a landing page yet, we were busy with the service and not good at front-end stuff to be honest, will take care of it soon But the service itself is developed and accessible now! The error posted above says that the your domain merapi.io is not attached to an IP address yet. You should probably go to its DNS settings and at least attach it to a stock NGINX page, or you can try one of the single-page website hosts such as Caard.co which allow you to develop a website with no coding at all.

Glad to hear that, looking forward to your future feedback! Thanks for the tip regarding Carrd.co, will try it out. P.S. Please share it with others if possible.

Not to be a buzz killer, but what is the point of a service if the said service has no platform to offer it's services? First thing for an online service is a front end complete website. In a few hours will check it out if it's working however.

I get your point, but we do have a page introducing the project with the full documentation, it is just not bound to the main domain(going to take care of it soon anyways) BTW, Would love to get your feedback when you got time!

Who said that? If you're smart enough you'd know you can access the API endpoints and figure out the rest. And there is an API documentation: https://btc.merapi.io/swagger what else do you need?

I agree, I would just redirect merapi.io to https://btc-docs.merapi.io/#introduction tbh. I haven't poked around just yet but on the top this looks nice.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback if you both got some time, and please share it with others if possible, we are trying to get a sense how the community reacts to the project and how we can make it better.

From tl;dr (and could not find it anywhere) what info are you logging and keeping? Most of us here have privacy a bit more in our minds then a lot of other people / users.
From the tests I did it looks nice, but if you are going to logging and keeping and trying to monetize everything thing I do you are going to have trouble getting users. If you purge all data after 24 hours, just so you do have some logging if support is needed is a different story.

So basically this is a REST API isn't it ?! It uses HTTPS as communication protocol, request/get/post etc to request stuff... and JSON as feedback/response. So this is REST ?! Would be a little simpler to mention that in the introduction ! Oh, by the way, I like this idea/API a lot ! WELL DONE ! But will it keep up and running ?! Why you provide this functionality for free ? What is the catch ? Maybe thrive on donations ? Or advertisement ? Spying ?

Why you provide this functionality for free ? What is the catch ? Maybe thrive on donations ? Or advertisement ? Spying ? Thanks for checking it out! This is basically a service that you can use by calling it or subscribing to topics by sockets! We are not going to keep it running for free for sure! We are trying to get People's opinions on this first! When others see value in the project and want to use it, that is when you we start monetizing it(like many other projects), and donations are always appreciated(and actually common in Bitcoin community). And Nah, we are not into spying! not our thing

Hello. I run this website where I get some blockdata from mempool.space This tool below shows the balance of multiple addresses. I am struggling to find an api which would allow to check dozens or hundreds of addresses https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-balance-check.htmlHowever, this is just a hobby and I have no money to support your project But maybe some partnership could benefit us both. Take a look if I can use your api. I had 6k unique visitors last month

Take a look if I can use your api. I had 6k unique visitors last month it will be more unique if you can generate a link with your addresses list so you don't enter them manually every time but just open the url and it will show those addresses balances every time GET BALANCE - GET BALANCE & GENERATE URL
