Hi guys,
interesting project! Currently for our project, we are using the API of another provider, but in the future maybe we could use yours! Here you can find our project: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anti-fraud-scam-tools-for-bitcoin-updates-5457075.
Good luck!!!

The website's changed where's the api for service route links?
It will be a paid service at some point for businesses interested in having high TPS and high daily usage, but it always will be free for small startups and developers who are not making money.
And donations(if happens) always go a long way in helping us provide a better service! but for now it is all funded by me and the other Co-Founder.

Sorry for the confusion, the routes have been changed:
The site https://www.blocklead.io is not really a magnet for funds. Lots of info is missing.
Blog i.e. is not there or not clickable.
The site looks to me as if you after funding without bothering much to address concerns an investor could have.
E.G your about us looks as if taken off pixabay, or is your team 30 + developers?
If you want money you need to show faces, real ones, yours.
The site is not done properly IMO due to the missing info it looks off.
Partially agree but it is about the service and not the landing page! As I recall, we didn't say we are looking for investors(always appreciate donation, though), whenever we do, we would show faces to those people, and to the ones who we would go through a deal, SLA, etc.(we are already in contact with some people who us by the names and the faces)
And No, we are not 30 developers! and we don't mind not having a through "about us" at this stage(would be helpful, I know that), we are in the phase where we are looking for feedbacks regarding the service itself, and the documentation, swaggers, and the "try out" section is a good place for the users to go to. That being said , I am going to write up a proper landing page(when I get some extra time which is rare these days considering how we are involved with the development of the project itself)
P.S
Check the service and let me know what you think(if you have time of course!)

I tried to make some GET requests to some endpoints, and things seem to be working fine but I keep getting a Read timed out error like the last time when using Socket? (spent-address).

It looks good you've expanded to BCH & LTC so it's a work in progress. Is it staying as active service with donations or paid service in future ?
no, on the contrary, we expanded the project to BCH and LTC as well! we did some re-routing to make it more memorable for the future where there are many other coins(sorry for this!)
It will be a paid service at some point for businesses interested in having high TPS and high daily usage, but it always will be free for small startups and developers who are not making money.

merapi.io & blockread.io doesn't work so what's the latest from your side have you discontinued the project?

We changed the domain, and the service is available at https://btc.blockread.io/docs
the new format is https://btc.blockread.io/api/...
Sorry for this change!
It throws an internal server error whenever I try to access the API documentation, the same is true for API itself. Could you explain why this happens and also how exactly you monitor the server status? Specifically, I am interested in internal mechanisms and implementation tricks that allow for faster response to errors on the server side. the new format is https://btc.blockread.io/api/...
Sorry for this change!
we use different scripts to check the performance and in case of trouble, they send emails and call us through a third party if necessary. Didn't get the internal mechanism question, would be helpful if you elaborate(as far as I know we don't use a specific mechanism(the reason might be when the service is down, it doesn't wait up for the answer, and it responds pretty quickly). btw, I can share with you the whole system design if you like too(send me and email in that case)

As for the search option, it is a great addition that is going to make the life of API consumers a lot easier since it works very fast (at least for queries I was testing it with) and is user-friendly. I would also add support for RegExp to make queries even more flexible, but it is not that important because such type of functionality is of rare need. By the way, will the search only work with Legacy-type addresses, or are you planning to expand it for multisig, SegWit, Taproot, etc.?the new format is https://btc.blockread.io/api/...
Sorry for this change!
Yes! we are adding Segwit and Taproot as well, it is going to be available in a couple of days(syncing the data ATM). Also, we made an MVP type of thing to show how fun and fast this search is, it will be available at https://btc-vanity.blockread.io in a couple of hours.

My question is about the design of your API, particularly I am interested in why you have decided to use POST methods for some operations, for example:
1. Get UTXO of multiple addresses
2. Get balance of multiple addresses
3. Get history of addresses
4. Get transactions by IDs
Can't this information be obtained via simple GET request that doesn't imply modification of server data? For example, the list of addresses or transaction IDs could be included in a request URL directly as a query string. Or is it done for privacy purposes to prevent others to intercept potentially sensitive information? Sorry, if my question doesn't make sense, I am still new in API development.
Would you mind adding some additional functionality to make the life of developers and regular user even easier? For example, I would like to have an option to specify fields when making a GET request, search addresses by first characters, sort them by balance or filter them by specific condition.

We added the search address option(the documentation is not updated yet)
you can try it with something like this:
https://btc.merapi.io/address/search?q=bitcoin
The short answer is yes! They can build all that and many other things which an RPC on a node might not provide most efficiently and in a production mode(in the case of exchanges, I am not sure they feel comfortable using an API to handle their accounts, though.) And, I guess you are being modest and know more about that! :-)
And besides the topic you made is based on my understanding I'm just not sure, is this merapi made to change the way people interact with the bitcoin blockchain? I just thought.
And, No! they can interact with Bitcoin Blockchain as they prefer. This is not a new method(blockchair is providing APIs for example), we are just providing endpoints that can deliver what developers require but don't find or it is more costly or less efficient on a node.

Is this merapi you say can be used to build exchanges, wallets, Dapps, and block explorers? I'm just asking because I'm not that familiar with such things.
And besides the topic you made is based on my understanding I'm just not sure, is this merapi made to change the way people interact with the bitcoin blockchain? I just thought.
The service is transferred to the new servers and is fully synced! Give it a try!
Update:
We had some problems in the last couple of days since we have been changing servers. We will return online with a stable infrastructure in a few days.
May, 5th
Update 2: the services are moved and are syncing, it takes around 3 days till it is fully synced.
