Rates API is down #30

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

bitcoinsv-rates.com is no longer resolving. Not having any luck getting rates with bitsv at the moment.

Does anyone know of the owners of that site? Are there any other rates APIs we can use?

ghost commented 5 years ago

Ok, so the DNS host is not replying with any data, the webserver is up. It's at 195.154.226.214.

ghost commented 5 years ago

I see no contact information, I'll message on Atlantis.

AustEcon commented 5 years ago

Thanks dude!

ghost commented 5 years ago

No problem! Unfortunately, looks the Whois data is privacy protected but doesn't have a unique email, so not sure how to contact them. No email address on the website from what I can tell.

I've direct messaged that username from reddit... I'm already planning for worst case scenario... We have this: https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/pubticker/bsvusd Which combined with this: https://www.freeforexapi.com/api/live?pairs=NZDUSD

We can build a replacement if needed...

ghost commented 5 years ago

Nice! We should add some redundancy in, for sure. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

AustEcon commented 5 years ago

Hmmm. okay @teran-mckinney and @joshua-s - It's not looking promising...I think http://bitcoinsv-rates.com/ is dead.

Think these endpoints will be okay? (Bitfinex + forex). I'm pretty time poor right now... I can have a play around and see what I can get going but otherwise let me know if either of you are putting in any efforts on this front, I will gladly step aside 😉 !

One advantage to using Bitfinex is that they actually use USD as their base, not USDT or some other derivative... Also they're about the only reliable, free api I could find and they're by far the biggest company out of those slim pickings... Keen to hear if you guys have found anything better though.

ghost commented 5 years ago

Agreed, I'd call it pretty hard down. I wonder if someone will make an on-blockchain rates API?

Anyway though, I'll see if I can dig into this.

AustEcon commented 5 years ago

I've got it working... only rudimentary testing done at this stage... Maybe you will have a better implementation though... I'll put up what I've got.

ghost commented 5 years ago

Ok, will review tomorrow. Thank you!

ghost commented 5 years ago

You won't guess what just started working!

AustEcon commented 5 years ago

Lol! Okay. Well that's good though. Maybe we can add this all as a second option as redundancy so it doesn't happen again!

Should be fairly trivial. The framework is already there to do it... can just duplicate and add the two classes in series...

ghost commented 5 years ago

Yup, just like the transactions APIs, just fail from one to another.

ghost commented 5 years ago

Nice work, thank you! Let me look into bitcoinsv-rates.com, it seems to work from some places and not others.

ghost commented 5 years ago

Ok, maybe it came up for a bit, got some results cached, and is down again. Weird.

I believe this is now resolved in 0.8.0? If so, let's close it

ghost commented 5 years ago

Yes, and bitcoinsv-rates.com is back up O_o. Finally!

Thank you!
