I want to create an API that works for all brands of bitcoin. Is there a way to use one general API used for all brands of bitcoins, or I must create every API for each brand?
Bitcoin General API

Each exchange ("brand" as you named it) provides its own API. Those are mostly similar, allowing access to wallet, history, transaction, ... but there are often small differences (like the return value, the params to provide) wich imply to write one API wrapper per exchange.

By brand I mean several bitcoin websites – Rudy Milan – 2017-09-09T11:42:52.033
But your API will by definition be provided by some site, so it will be a "brand" on its own? – Pieter Wuille – 2017-09-09T15:12:11.527
I mean that there are lots of sites for bitcoin, so for example I want to create an application with a bitcoin API. Should I create for every website its own API or is there a general and collective way for all bitcoin websites. Thank you – Rudy Milan – 2017-09-10T00:38:47.570
To accomplish what? What kind of API? Exchanging? Transacting? Exchange rate? Transacting? Webwallets? Analysis? – Pieter Wuille – 2017-09-10T00:55:49.407
Authentication and exchanging or transacting... but there are several websites such as blockchain, freebitco, bitcointalk, coinbase etc... so when I create an API for example for transacting, is there a third party involved which might be a general API that all bitcoin websites use? I'm sorry if I am confusing you but it's the best way I can explain it. Thank you – Rudy Milan – 2017-09-10T01:48:18.960
blockchain.info is a webwallet. bitcointalk is a forum. coinbase is an exchange. I don't understand how you can combine them. I'm voting to close this as too broad, but feel free to ask another more focussed question. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-09-11T19:39:27.300
