blockchain.info json API problem

Question

I'm trying to get the time series for a specific period from blockchain.info but the json seems to not be there anymore. Does anyone knows if the json API is not available anymore or it is a temporary issue. For example when trying to access https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate&format=json I get an Unknown Exception. Thanks.

Answer 1

This error should be fixed now.

https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate?format=json

Answer 2

The JSON export seems indeed to be broken. A quick workaround is to simply get the graph page and extract the needed data from there:

curl -s https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate | grep data: | grep -oE '\[[0-9\.,]+\]'

That should give you the JSON array. The array contains a daily sample of the hash-rate starting from timestamp

curl -s https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate | grep pointStart | grep -oE '[0-9]+'
