Topic: Bitcoind stats from API/other method (Read 1058 times)
Bumb. Are there no developers in here?
Can someone move this to 'Development & Technical Discussion' ?
What about getting the time of block updated from the last modified timestamp of blkindex.dat or another file? Is it only modified when it receives a new block?

Hello,
I was a bit disappointed at the lack of documentation for developers surrounding bitcoin specifications and protocols.
Because of this I have some questions;
1. I need to some stats to work out how update the database of bitcoind (i.e. blocks_i_have/total_blocks) What is available and how do I get those values?
2. How can I get the time that last block received? Can this be done from the bitcoind json API? Or how else can I get this info?
3. Are the timestamps given from the API based on the times of the local machine or a time agreed upon by the network? (If the latter, how can I get that time?)
Thanks
