Dear people of MetaExchange,
First of all, i think MetaExchange is doing a great job in helping the BitShares platform by becoming our main gateway to and from our BitShares. It feels solid and works really well.
I am working on an website where I compare different Instant Cryptocurrecy exchanges, and tried to implement your api into my project. But i found it pretty hard to use your API first off all, sometimes you have to use POST sometimes GET, it isn't REST.
Second thing that struck me is the amount of parameters that I get back when I ask for the rates :
{"symbol_pair":"bitBTC_BTC","ask":"1.006","bid":"0.994","ask_max":"1","bid_max":"0.8","ask_fee_percent":"0","bid_fee_percent":"0","up":false,"btc_volume_24h":"0","last_price":"0","asset_name":null,"realised_spread_percent":"0","price_delta":"0","flipped":false}
url: shapeshift.io/rate/<pair>
method: GET
=> {
"pair" : "btc_ltc",
"rate" : "70.1234"
}
If you are planning to do a API update ever in the future, have a look at the shapeshift API:
https://shapeshift.io/api.htmlHelp the people that want to build upon your API. But you ofcourse you are busy with other stuff and understand if it doesn't have much priority. If you need some help I am a programmer, so maybe could do somethings myself.
But thanks for the already amazing service!
PS: And it would really help me if it was possible in the future to send to a bishares address in stead of a username.
