Title: BitsharesX web based block explorer
Post by: wasthatawolf on August 27, 2014, 01:30:54 pm

Has anyone developed a web based block explorer for BitsharesX? 

Specifically, I'm looking for an API that I can use for project development.

bitsharesblocks.com ... no API there ...

you can run a node and connect to it via RPC .. pretty easy going

Like xeroc said I'm not currently offering an open API, although I might consider doing so if there's enough interest for it. The RPC interface is very easy to use anyway so you might be better off just running one yourself.

Are you looking for some specific info?

The issue with rpc is that the user needs to setup and keep a node updated.

I don't really have any desire to maintain a node.  I'm basically looking for the information you would find in any exchange API but for the internal BitsharesX exchange (current buy and sell orders, last price, trading volume, etc.)  I'd like to put together a site that displays the internal market data real time with data from Bter.
