aspireblock provides additional services to Aspirewallet beyond those offered in the API provided by aspire-server. It features a full-fledged JSON RPC-based API, which services Aspirewallet as well as any 3rd party services which wish to use it. aspireblock has an extensible architecture, and developers may write custom plugins for it, which are loaded dynamically and allow them to extend aspireblock with new parsing functionality, write gateways to other currencies or services, and much more.
With its set of core-plugins, aspireblock provides a more high-level data processing, and an API that layers on top of aspire-server’s API. aspireblock generates and allows querying of data such as market and price information, trade operations, asset history, and more. It is used extensively by Aspirewallet itself, and is appropriate for use by applications that require additional API-based functionality beyond the scope of what aspire-server itself provides.
