Bitcoin API with bech32 support

1

Since a while, I have been using the insight-api to view bitcoin transactions. However, recently I have found out that bech32 addresses are not supported.

Now I try to fix this issue and I am open for any suggestions.

It there some other suitable api that also supports bech32-addresses? Or, also appreciated, is there some workaround available for the insight-api

It looks like bitcore replaced the insight-api

Does this mean there is a new api for bitcoin? Isn't bitcore another crypto-currency?The Pheromone Kid 2019-06-25T10:07:19.857

No, these are all just different implementations of the bitcoin core protocol. Just like how you can use Google Chrome or Firefox to access the web, you can use insight-api or bitcore to access bitcoin data.benthecarman 2019-06-25T18:10:22.653
