What is the good, free and very reliable API to get bitcoin blockchain/mempool info? I mainly need current block height, average block processing time and that’s about it. It needs to be bulletproof. 🐶🐾🤔

Can’t you just take these directly from your own Bitcoin core?

What does bulletproof mean here? I’m a little scared. 😅

Means that it doesn’t go down for maintenance purposes 🐶🐾🫡

I thought your new node was bulletproof! Need more redundancy then! 🤣

I used the mempool.space API for the blockclock like thing I built a while ago which worked well (although I didn’t have the bulletproof requirement for that!).
