possible bug?

In the API docs it is mentioned that

watch_type:
    "1" = Watch for deposits,
    "2" = Watch for withdrawals,
    "3" = Both.

However when I create the agent using the API, the values "1" and "2" seem to do the opposite (based on the "Edit agent" window and my experiments)

Thanks for reporting this. Fixed the documentation

check e.g. http://whatismyip.com if you don't know your IP

There is a similar ip search site called IP-Details.com to check our External ip address. Here it display IP address, ISP, Location, Country and so on,...

Currently there is quite some delay for notifications > 0 confirmations. I will post again when this is sorted out.

Turned out there was a huge backlog of tasks in the system, mostly caused by someone trying to monitor satoshidice addresses again. I disabled this agent and the site is now quickly catching up, taskqueue is almost 0 right now. I expect within the next hour all pending notifications should be handled.

Hey,
I am using your website and it is absolutely AWESOME! I have a question though, I am making a php script that is using your website for notifications on payment, and how would i $_GET this information. I used to use blockchain http calling and it put the results in the URL, and I could easily use $_GET to get the data, but your POST posts in json, and getting doesn't work for me normally. How would I get things from your json post

It is a bit quirky with php to get the raw post data. It should work like this:

Code:

json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'))

Yea I got it already. Maybe a couple more features would be nice, maybe some more documentation on how to use the data, and maybe put it in variables or something.
Thanks!

The website is down. Are the callbacks still calling back?

Ah, Murphys law  Server went down and caught me off-guard as I was just on the road on the way home from vacation. Restarted it this morning and everything is running fine again. Callbacks were not triggered during the downtime, but in the meantime all missed transactions should have been collecteted and callbacks done.

Forgive my ignorance but how does this service differ from BlockChain's Receive Payments API? You may check here for the API: http://blockchain.info/api/api_receive

You can monitor pre-existing addresses

And its more reliable. And theres more settings. And it's better

Any chance of making this opensource?

It would be better if it were open source, but then again this is the only http service other than block chain, with more features. They probably have most of the share of visitors.

Blockchain info api has several drawbacks compared to this (its also quite good though)

1. As already mentioned, I can monitor address for payment sent and received. I can monitor any address.
2. Blockchain.info just spams the network. For every payment, there are two transactions, one to blockchain.info and another to your address, which is unnecessary.
