In my experience blockchain has been unreliable lately.

I'd recommend you to use https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api instead.

I will look into this - thanks.



Yes - that works nicely (good to have an alternative).

Ex:

https://insight.bitpay.com/api/addr/1ciyam3htJit1feGa26p2wQ4aw6KFTejU/balance

open source being a big plus.

Yes it changed, you have http instead of https. They removed http support in December. All requests now must be https://blockchain.info/etc

Doh - I hadn't even realised I wasn't using https. Thanks for that.

Seems to be working fine. Blockchain is rather unreliable, might have just been down for a little.

This used to work fine:

http://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/1ciyam3htJit1feGa26p2wQ4aw6KFTejU?confirmations=1

but now just comes back with nothing.

Has the API changed?
