Bumping this and I am going to post the docs.
http://apicoin.io/api/v1/doc/
EDIT: we want to work with all of our clients so if you see things you need from an api that the site doesn't have pm me the feature and I see if I can add it.
Topic: Are you building a gambling game? (Read 1269 times)
ok but wont you have to work with the developers of the site? Plus how can you be trusted and who has control of the bitcoins going to the site that is show casing your API.
Please don't spread FUD. In the first couple of post we said we don't control any of the users bitcoin we are basically a watch only wallet for enterprises, companies and web sites. You send us your bitcoin address and we alert you to when an output contains that address.
We also building a lot of services that do with data analysis of the blockchain.
We are just an api we are easily replaceable if you don't like it.

If your partner shouldnt they get the service free for showcasing?
Yes you would get a free month. Plus I have a lot of media things I will be doing so your name will be mentioned with that.
I can't give life of the service free because I am using a lot of my contacts and favors to build up my service which would build up the partner service as well. So they are already getting a great deal in turn for this.

Bump! We are still looking for a partner to launch with. We want to show off our powerful api, you will be getting a free month of our service as well!
Can you just send me the specs already
Can you summarize exactly what this API will be able to do?
Their is way too much to list out, but whatever you need to do with the blockchain, or with addresses. We also allow you add addresses which will then alert you to transaction outputs that involve that address using a secure callback. This is the ultimate way to have a cold storage wallet. We also want to hear from our clients when we start as to what api calls they want.
The only thing you can't do with our api, is query what peers we are connected to or use us to store bitcoin private keys. We don't hold bitcoins.
What can it do that the blockchain.info api can't do?
Very good question, the answer is blockchain.info's api is not using secure communications within the api itself. We are using standard web rest api practices they are not. They are on the side of visually representing that data of the blockchain, we are focused stole on making a bitcoin managed api. We are taking the place of you going and purchasing another VPS and setting up a whole scalable api on top of it.
Blockchain.info is great for prototyping a simple application, but we are aiming to be the force behind a cloud scalable bitcoind. Yes I know I just threw out a lot of buzzwords and I have a business plan that better illustrates what we are doing and what we want to be involved in.
So on one hand we directly compete with blockchain.info in some areas of being an api to blockchain, but to be honest we are a different beast. We are aiming to be the email hosting service of bitcoin nodes, blockchain.info is aiming to be the one stop shop of bitcoiners of being a wallet, an explorer and an api.
You're too vague. So, I can use this to scale up a bitcoin wallet that manages, say 1000 transactions a minute for a bitcoin based MMO that has lots of move transactions as players hit each other or steal heart points or strenth (btc) from each other?
As long as your server or hosting company doesn't mistake us for a DDOS attack we can certainly ping your callback script for 1000 transactions per minute. But as I said before we are not a wallet service so we don't store any bitcoins from any users on our server.

We are still looking and we are getting closer to launch we have built already 2 backend nodes using our software.
Interesting. Could you elaborate on your "standard security practices" that you use?
We use public and private api keys. So you use sha256hmac and nonce to communicate your secret key to us and we do the same back to you depending on the api call. We also will have ssl.
I am on my phone so if You want more infromation I can tell you later.

Cool! good luck with that! i think there is a definite need for that. especially after the issues that have popped up recently.
what kind of service are you building/trying to promote?
A robust api to the blockchain with watch wallet features. I will say we are not going to hold any bitcoins for anyone, we are not an api wallet, but we are trying to make cold storage very easy.
what kind of service are you building/trying to promote?
I am launching a service soon and would like to coordinate our launch with you. This would help show off what our api can do for a bitcoin business.
