Request an API Key

Introduction

Blockstrap’s API makes it easy for developers to quickly and confidently build applications, perform transactions, and store data in the blockchain for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and DashPay. We also support their corresponding testnets and provide faucets that can be used to generate free test-coins - ideal for the development process before taking your new application live.

The Blockstrap API operates as a simple RESTful JSON API that can be accessed via http://api.blockstrap.com or https://api.blockstrap.com

If you need any help with your implementation or have requests for features, please reach out to us at [email protected]. By requesting an API key you'll automatically be kept up to date on new features and changes as they are rolled out.

We also provide SDKs for PHP and Ruby with more languages to be added soon.
