List of blockchain explorer APIs?

I'm gathering a list of Bitcoin / Blockchain APIs. I mean web (REST) APIs that allow you to do basic blockchain queries through http(s) API calls, such as: getting the balance on an address, getting a list of transactions from or to an address, getting the details (inputs and outputs) for a transaction, et cetera.

I'm familiar with blocktrail.com, blockcypher.com, blockchain.info, and blockr.io, but I remember having seen others in the past. Any more?

It would be even better if there were links to the API documentation somewhere... – David Manheim – 2015-12-30T20:59:00.983

There are many more in development, but these are ones I could find that you didn't list.

Thanks, from what I understand, insights is both a web explorer as well as an API. Very useful addition. I forgot about blockexplorer.com, they used to be different but it seems like a copy of insight / bitcore now? As for bitcoinchain.com, is that just a web explorer or is there also an API in there? (I couldn't find it?) – RocketNuts – 2015-10-31T21:16:54.843

blockexplorer at least used to use their own code. You can run your own with abe: https://github.com/blockcypher/explorer. bitcoinchain.com, I haven't used, but it wouldn't surprise me to know there's no API there.

You can also add following to the list: blockonomics.co, smartbit.com.au, biteasy.com – dark knight – 2015-12-01T05:26:49.647
