Bitmain

Bitmain Technologies is a Beijing-based designer and manufacturer of ASIC cryptocurrency-mining hardware, best known for its Antminer line of Bitcoin (SHA-256) and other proof-of-work miners. Bitmain also operates Antpool, one of the world's largest Bitcoin mining pools, which exposes a public HTTP API that lets account operators programmatically read account balances, account and worker hashrate, worker lists, payment history, and pool-wide statistics. The Antpool API authenticates each request with an HMAC-SHA256 signature computed from the operator's user id, API key, and an incrementing nonce, and rate-limits clients to 600 requests per 10 minutes per IP. This company was surfaced as a portfolio company of Hongshan and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

Bitmain publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Technology, Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and Mining.

Bitmain’s developer surface includes support, documentation, API reference, authentication, and 6 more developer resources.

  description: Public HTTP API for Antpool, Bitmain's Bitcoin mining pool. Account operators can read account balance, account
    and worker hashrate, worker lists, payment history, and pool statistics. All private interfaces are POST, form-encoded,
    and signed with an HMAC-SHA256 signature (userId + apiKey + nonce, keyed by the operator's API secret). Rate-limited to
    600 requests per 10 minutes per IP.
