hey, some more info on my problem.

API will not always work. it will sometimes go '''offline''' and then randomly go ''online'' again.

You can use "try catch" (or equivalent) code blocks in your code. Also You should prefer to use at least 3 different api to check sth on blockchain.
If 2 of 3 is correct, then you're good to go.

i'm using Blockchain.info's API
That tells it all bro.Don't use blockchain.info API there are far better and still free api's out there.There was a bug yesterday where blockchain.info were connected to 0 nodes so if someone wanted they could have easily send a tx through blockchain.info to your site and then quickly send it somewhere else your site will "receive" the coins but they were never actually been there since no nodes seen it.There are far more bugs in blockchain.info and if you are using it's api you are very fragile.If you want to I can show you the bugs live(on your site) but you gotta pay me a bit(after it if you like) I was always too lazy to report the bugs to blockchain.info.Though keep in mind that I seen these bugs month's ago so they might have fixed them.
