The main module is called blockchain

In order to use createwallet and wallet you need to run an instance of service-my-wallet-v3.

Error handling

All functions may raise exceptions caused by incorrectly passed parameters or other problems. If a call is rejected server-side, the APIException exception will be raised.

Connection timeouts

It is possible to set arbitrary connection timeouts.

from blockchain import util
util.TIMEOUT = 5 #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.
