• [x] I extended the Sphinx documentation (if needed).

• [x] I extended the help section (if needed).

• [x] I changed the README file (if needed).

Work effort: 6h

Yep it works for us. Thank you.

Any reasons for this migration? Can't we just extend the API with tzpro instead of replacing tzstats with it or is tzstat going to be deprecated? Please provide some context in the description. Thanks!

Update tzstats going to be deprecated:

TzStats API EOL @ Oct 31, 2023
Attention TzStats API users

We are migrating all RPC and API services to our new TzPro service. Visit https://tzpro.io/ and sign up for free to get your personal API key.

All API data and endpoints will remain available and free on TzPro up to 100,000 req/mon.

https://tzstats.com/

It was deprecated and replaced. Here is the migration guide. Tzstats does not exist anymore:

Ok got it. Thanks for the context.

I tired to catch absolutely every occurance of tzstats and also renamed the folder to blockwatch (the company behind it) in order to pave the way to include new API Interfaces later (if needed)
