Why does blockchain.info API response with wrong balance value?

2

Let's the following address. Now the current total received balance is: 5,697.09329301 BTC:

But API response is 569709329301:

As you can see API response does't contain floating point therefore the total balance is very big.

Is it bug?

2Aren't the two quantities equal but expressed in different units? 1 satoshi = 10^(-8) BTC – Sven Williamson – 2016-10-30T20:52:15.023

@Sven That should be an answer. – Pieter Wuille – 2016-10-30T20:54:43.840

@Pieter Thought it wasn't insightful enough. Thank you – Sven Williamson – 2016-10-30T21:25:01.537

The two quantities are equal but expressed in different units. 1 Satoshi = 10^(-8) BTC.
