[https://peerchain.co](https://peerchain.co)

[https://peerchain.co/api/v1/blockLatest/](https://peerchain.co/api/v1/blockLatest/)

is where Peerbox was pulling info on latest block, to compare health of local blockchain with the network.  
This feature (peerbox-info --health) was introduced to enable users to make sure they are running on the right chain.  
With this API down, this feature will no longer function.

I will look for another public API and fix this in next Peerbox release.  
If you know some API like that, please help.

I need this info from the API:

```auto
heightInt, hash, previousblockhash, merkleroot
```

Why is it permanently down? JetJet manages this website right?

I thought he was running the NuExplorer as well. Maybe the Nu team knows what happened and if it’s temporary?

Hey peerchemist, you can use my site: [http://peerchain.net/api/blocks/last](http://peerchain.net/api/blocks/last)

Is there anything else you would need? API examples: [http://peerchain.net/api](http://peerchain.net/api)

Hi snakie,

you know what would be really really cool? To be able to get data needed for finding stakes!

I am porting kac-s findstake to findstakejs at the moment. With this everyone will be able to find out when a stake is likely to be minted somewhere in future just by entering their txid with their browser/firefoxOS/phonegap app. Github: [https://github.com/jointhepartypooper/FindstakeJS/](https://github.com/jointhepartypooper/FindstakeJS/)

What is needed to calc a hash is the following:  
BlockFromTime int64  
StakeModifier uint64 string  
PrevTxOffset uint32  
PrevTxTime int64  
PrevTxOutIndex uint32  
PrevTxOutValue int64  
IsProtocolV03 bool  
StakeMinAge int64  
TxTime int64

But if you could extend the tx api with fields  
BlockTime  
BlockStakeModifier  
previoustxOffset  
previoustxTxTime

, it would make my project so much easier.

I spend some time yesterday documenting how these data is to be retrieved here: [http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=3802.msg36829#msg36829](http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=3802.msg36829#msg36829)

I ve already extracted the db from kac-s project to a readable json format till block height 142000:

alright, I will check it out.

@thehuntergames

Excellent! Get this tool to some host, provide API and I will include it in Peerbox.

JetJet let me know that the traffic to the site was very low versus the cost to keep it running. I hope he changes his mind and considers donations or advertising to get it back up and running.  
But at least we have a solution for Peerbox now.
