Disclaimer

Last updated: March 8, 2026

This page consolidates key disclaimers for the Satoshi API hosted service at bitcoinsapi.com ("Service"), operated by Satoshi API ("Operator", "we", "us"). For full legal terms, see our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1. Financial Data Disclaimer

The Service provides informational data only. It is NOT financial advice.

• Fee recommendations are estimates based on current mempool conditions and may not reflect actual confirmation times.
• Price data is sourced from third-party providers and cached. It may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.
• You are solely responsible for any financial decisions made using data from this Service.
• Nothing provided by the Service constitutes a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.

2. Money Transmitter Disclaimer

The broadcast endpoint (/api/v1/transactions/broadcast) relays pre-signed transactions to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network. The Operator does not create, modify, sign, transmit, hold, or control any funds or private keys. The Operator is not a money services business or money transmitter. Broadcasting a pre-signed transaction is functionally equivalent to operating a Bitcoin network node.

3. Agent Usage Disclaimer

The Service permits access by Automated Consumers, defined as any software, bot, script, AI agent, MCP client, or automated system that accesses the Service without direct human interaction for each request.

• The human or entity deploying an Automated Consumer bears full responsibility and downstream liability for all actions taken by that consumer.
• Agent operators must not present API data as the agent's own analysis or advice to end users without passing through this financial data disclaimer.
• Agent operators are responsible for implementing appropriate human-in-the-loop confirmation before initiating irreversible actions (such as broadcasting transactions) based on API data.
• The Operator is not liable for any chain-of-liability claims from end users of Automated Consumers.

4. JSON-RPC Proxy Disclaimer

The JSON-RPC proxy endpoint (/api/v1/rpc) provides direct access to a subset of read-only Bitcoin Core RPC methods plus transaction broadcast. This endpoint is designed for programmatic consumers (e.g., bitcoin-mcp). The same financial data disclaimers, rate limits, and acceptable use terms apply. The Operator does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of data returned by the underlying Bitcoin Core node.

5. Data Staleness Notice

Fee estimates and mempool data are point-in-time snapshots. Mempool conditions change block-to-block, and a fee estimate that is accurate at the time of the API response may no longer be optimal by the time a transaction is broadcast. Specifically:

• Fee estimates reflect the state of the mempool at the moment they are calculated and are cached for short periods.
• A new block, a sudden influx of transactions, or mempool evictions can materially change the fee landscape within seconds.
• Price data may be cached for up to 60 seconds and may not reflect the most recent market price.
• Users and Automated Consumers should treat all data as advisory and implement their own staleness checks where precision is critical.
