Hi
All in the title, how to check balance of a bitcoin address throue an easy way.
Can i use bitcoind but without the blockchain since it will take time ? Any unlimited API that allow that ?

Check for balance and confirmations.

Thank's.

You can use bitcoind (need to download blockchain first), and then in your code, you only need to connect to bitcoind JSON RPC SERVER, and send command.

Yes,you have two options:
1.Write your own remote procedure calls.
2.Use Api's of any third party developers which comes with limitations.But if you're usage is limited to only checking balance of address then this option is feasible otherwise as you said you need to take special privileges from the API providers.

[There are more,do your homework]

First thank you for your answer.

But is not what i am looking for ... i want an API that purpose unlimited request to check balance of address and the confirmations.

Blockchain is not good for this purpose since they ban IPs quickly and require each time to send them a message in order to unban you.

I want a list of websites like blockchain that have good rate of request allowed.
