Lending and borrowing money using bitcoin just got a lot easier.
P2P bitcoin lending platform, Bitbond, has released its API for investors and developers. Quoted at Usebitcoins.info, company CEO and founder Radoslav Albrecht said the API “reflects Bitbond’s desire to make the lives of investors on our platform as easy as possible.”

Available with complete documentation, the Bitbond API gives investors and developers the ability to “customise and automate” the entire loan process, while providing ready access to Bitbond’s entire loan history data. “This allows investors to analyze data and to craft individual investment strategies based on it,” Albrecht explained. “We are sure that developers and investors alike will get terrific value from the Bitbond API.”
