Bitcoin Cash testnet version of insight API

Question

I was wondering if anyone know a testnet version of Insight API for Bitcoin Cash?

For mainnet there are those:

• https://bch-insight.bitpay.com/api/
• https://bch-bitcore2.trezor.io/api/

But I cannot find one for testnet.

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

With a trial & error procedure I've found this one :-)

Prefix for APIs is https://test-bch-insight.bitpay.com/api

For example: https://test-bch-insight.bitpay.com/api/addrs/2MzrMhMEPN9KYsZHgijMqekPa8kmvwsuEVm,2N1w811DgtWzjHdwtP1zzbXqJdh9vNK3sk9,2N3rs2KJBYxZQifg5TY6Bjb8CGcvmYTppsG/utxo

Answer 2

Bitpay did a large refactor of Insight/Bitcore so both BTC and BCH run off the same backend. The new URLs are:

• Block explorer: https://insight.bitcore.io/#/BCH/mainnet/home
• API: https://api.bitcore.io/api/BCH/mainnet
• API Docs: https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore/blob/master/packages/bitcore-node/docs/api-documentation.md
• Swap mainnet/testnet and BTC/BCH slugs as required

Example: get UTXOs for some random address I grabbed out of a recent block:

$ curl -s https://api.bitcore.io/api/BCH/mainnet/address/qz09ljd3fthvuuasw3tchnhm8a5z5ppm9vc4t6s5pe/?unspent=true | jq
