#Blockchain API library (C#, v1)
An official .NET (C#) library for interacting with the Blockchain.info API.
###Getting started
The library requires at least .NET 4.0.
The recommended way to install and use the library is via NuGet:
PM> Install-Package BlockchainAPI
The library consists of the following namespaces:
Info.Blockchain.Api.Blockexplorer(docs) (api/blockchain_api)Info.Blockchain.Api.Createwallet(docs) (api/create_wallet)Info.Blockchain.Api.Exchangerates(docs) (api/exchange_rates_api)Info.Blockchain.API.PushTx(docs) (pushtx)Info.Blockchain.Api.Receive(docs) (api/api_receive)Info.Blockchain.Api.Statistics(docs) (api/charts_api)Info.Blockchain.Api.Wallet(docs) (api/blockchain_wallet_api)
###Error handling
All methods may throw exceptions caused by incorrectly passed parameters or other problems. If a call is rejected server-side, the APIException exception will be thrown. Other exceptions may also be thrown by the environment (e.g. no internet connection etc).
###Connection timeouts
It is possible to set arbitrary connection timeouts.
Info.Blockchain.API.HttpClient.TimeoutMs = 5000; // time out after 5 seconds###Request limits and API keys
In order to prevent abuse some API methods require an API key approved with some basic contact information and a description of its intended use. Please request an API key here.
The same API key can be used to bypass the request limiter.
