When you check an address balance or a transaction status online, which block explorer do you use ? If you run a service depending on a third party API, which block explorer's API you rely upon ?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I enjoy using blockr.io or blockchain.info
They are both elegantly designed and function well!

1. BlockChain.info

2. Blockr.io

3. HelloBlock.io

4. BitEasy.com

5. BlockExplorer.com

p.s. BlockChain.info BitcoinD is sometimes not in sync with the n/w and thereby giving wrong result. So I am trying to get over with my old habit of sticking to BlockChain.info. I would also like to know, who else is providing reliable API service other than BlockChain.info for free ?

id recommend businesses to NEVER use one service.

there may be reasons why one service is delayed, or has iffy results (yes it has happened)
especially with users funds have your API triple check payments using 3 balance checkers.

I will use blockchain.info most of the time because my wallet is there. If I see something strange or need to verify something like no confirmations for a long time, I use blockr.io and blockexplorer.com to double check.

Thanx... do u provide something like https://blockchain.info/q ?

e.g. I'll provide an address as input parameter to get its balance in the output. In blockchain.info, I can do it as...

https://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/1EzwoHtiXB4iFwedPr49iywjZn2nnekhoj

What to do on BitEasy ?

Moreover, is your explorer code open source or is it built on Abe ?

You would be doing this:
https://api.biteasy.com/blockchain/v1/addresses/1EzwoHtiXB4iFwedPr49iywjZn2nnekhoj

After you make the call, you will get a JSON structure and all you have to do is to check the data->balance field.

Moreover, is your explorer code open source or is it built on Abe ?

Our code is not open source I am afraid, and no it's not build on Abe, it's a complete custom solution from the ground up.

I always used blockchain.info and I've never had the need to use another one, also I didn't find any issue with it.

Always blockchain.info, it's the most convenient option since I also use their wallet service.
