I use http from embedded devices that cannot do https due to memory constraints. Http access is appreciated for this use case.

But.... Do you guys have a business model that is going to keep you around long enough for me to bother hardcoding your api into embedded devices? I build things that connect real world actions to cryptocurrency markets, diverting power, metering resource consumption, etc.

We plan to remain online for a long long time

And if you make embedded devices using our API, maybe you need more than the free API?

We sell access based on subscription for 0.1 BCH per month.

Or maybe you need our 'special services'?

From the FAQ: "I'm wealthy. I have very specific crazy needs!"

"For the right price, the above rules may not apply to you. Right price means at least 1 BTC. If you can pay that, we can do many crazy things just for you"

No wrong question :-)

Please get in touch by email if you need something special.

If you have hard constraints, we can provide you with a special API returning only the value(s) you need so you do not even have to parse anything.

GraphQL :)

Not attempting to be snide, this sentiment echoes exactly what GraphQL solves.
