Common Blockchain is a unified way to access a blockchain via an API provider. i.e. it provides the same methods and normalizes results no matter who the API provider is.
You'll need to bring your own Common Blockchain provider. Here's a list: https://github.com/common-blockchain/common-blockchain/issues/21
Example:
var Blockchain = require('cb-insight') // npm i --save cb-insight
var spend = require('spend')
// set common blockchain provider
spend.blockchain = new Blockchain('https://test-insight.bitpay.com')
var fromWIF = '...'
var toAddress = '...'
var amountSatoshis = 500000
spend(fromWIF, toAddress, amountSatoshis, function (err, txId) {
// use txId to track transaction
console.log(txId)
})- fixed fee
- bitcoin/testnet only at the moment
- simplified outputs (may change to allow additional like
OP_RETURN) - merges all UTXOs
