Hi,
i am developing a bitcoin-based service.
I am using blockchain api to ask various information, to be specific i am calling this endpoints:
https://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/{BTCADDRESS}
https://blockchain.info/address/{BTCADDRESS}
https://blockchain.info/tx-index/{TXINDEX}
https://blockchain.info/pushtx
The problem is that i want a failover solution because ddos happens on blockchain.info (like now)
The only endpoint that i found has a compatible alternative is the first:
https://blockexplorer/q/addressbalance/{BTCADDRESS}
Also in this case there is a small problem, blockchain returns value in satoshi, blockeplorer returns it in bitcoins. But this is just the smaller problem...
Others endpoints have some equivalent services but with completely different json format on blockr, biteasy, abe, apicoin...
Or i am missing something or i strongly believe standard base API for querying bitcoin blockchain would give great benefit to bitcoin-based services
