hi,

can't access to api throw cloudflare. is it possible make api url without this?

thx

Json is down at the moment. Too many requests for the site to remain operational.
IP banning does not work, people just use someservice to split their calls over multiple IPs and kill the server in the process.

Hi, I use your API and I call it multiple times for different coins. Is there an option to get all coins data? I know about coins.json but that appears to just be the coins listed on the main page.
If you offered an option to call 1 API for all possible coins then it would certainly cut down on the number of API calls I perform - and I am sure it would help others as well.
Keep up the good work.

I think another reason I was unable to use the coin.json and asic.json API is because I don't know what hash rate each coin is calculated on. I assume there is a default but I would need to cater for each algo's default. When you call the individual coins API you can specify ?hr=100 for example. Then using that I can do the math on my side to calculate the reward at 20mh or 120mh. If I was able to get a similar result for all coins in a single call then it would certainly help me call your site only a couple times a day.
I certainly don't want to abuse your site and call your API too often. Hope this feedback helps?
Thanks.
