I try get txSkeleton
post to https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/test3/txs/new/
{ "inputs": [ { "addresses": [ "mgqXuAznRc7vgCjFfFn842WrbiXtBgHvXN" ] } ], "outputs": [ { "addresses": [ "mgdYwFuDkXdWnktXm5Ap6BisRGQaumhU5z" ], "value": 500000 } ], "fees": 12000 }

But in response I get 404 error.

We have many posts and tweets that link to the a given section of the documentation using anchors. It'd be nice to not break all of those by keeping the same anchor names if possible (not sure if slate makes that easy-ish). For example:

http://dev.blockcypher.com/#zero_confirmations
http://dev.blockcypher.com/#websocket_webhook
http://dev.blockcypher.com/#micro_transactions

Please consider adding node to your code examples.

Faucet docs indicate it supports btc testnet, but it does not

We use bcy/test from time to time to make more sensitive examples involving signing/private keys/faucets more "copy-pasteable" (also so we can occasionally post full private keys).

That said, can be confusing switching from one to the other without calling it. Going to make an effort to call this out in the code comments.

Anytime I look at it, it throws me off that the simple transaction lookup isn't first. So I'm guessing most others would be the same :)

Bug Description
When creating a Bitcoin transaction using the example Javascript code, bitcoinjs-lib no longer works. This is due to ECPair being removed from the module: bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib@e5a7730.

Documentation should be updated with an appropriate solution or a comment stating v5.2.0 is required.

I'd create a pull requests but then I'd have to fork now and fork again once the repo is in blockcypher so just being lazy here ;)

For example, I have two addresses and each of them has received 1 BTC. Now, I want to transfer 1.5 BTC to another address. How can I achieve this using the Blockcypher create transaction API?

I'm finding that docs easier on the eyes if font-smoothing is disabled:

Bug Description
I am using the Address Full endpoint to get a list of transactions for a BTC address. I am using the confirmations flag set to 1. But I am still getting sent a list of unconfirmed transactions.

Tag @matthieu, @Catheryne for discussion:

I think the language can/should be tweaked so that it's more clear that we support any language that can make JSON HTTP calls (every modern language), and that the API is just JSON over http.

For me, this is most prominent in two places:

1. "Official" language support: maybe weaken this, we don't want to make it seem like other languages aren't going to work for some reason. My suggestion: change to "BlockCypher Supported Language SDKs" or "Officially Supported Language SDKs" to make it clear that the support is for the language library, not the language itself. Maybe additionally, make it explicit that we support any language that can make HTTP calls and parse JSON.

2. Frequent use of "cURL" : to experienced readers, curl is more or less a synonym for "GET over HTTP", but for inexperienced readers this may seem like some magic tool and the connection may not be obvious.

For example:

If not, or you’d rather write your own bindings, we always support cURLing endpoints directly, which is the default code sample you’ll see to the right.

My suggestion would be something along the lines of:

Of course, all our API's are standard HTTP endpoints using JSON formatted responses, so any language (or cURL from the command-line) will work just fine.

People are mistakenly thinking that there is an issue blockcypher/node-client#27 but they do not provide a token. Add token to web socket example.

Find/replace all the things!

A few things to change:

• Get Wallet Name/return general wallet info
• Change $NAME/Address behavior to only return addresses (no token/name)
• Merge Gustav's delete changes

Not sure what the best way to do this is, can you have runnable code in the 3rd column? If so it might be best to put it there when we add Javascript examples.

Already mentioned in offline, just adding there here as well. It's basically the "Several code samples..." section here:

http://dev.blockcypher.com/#introduction

Our javascript examples are clearly outdated which led users to open PR on bitcoin-js lib such as bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib#1399 and bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib#1241.
