After I reported the issue via email/this post, Blockchain.info solved it and now everything works fine.

Hi John. You have to set up a forward address in the "Developers" -> "Receive Payments API" section of Blochkchain.info. By doing that, you provide them with an URL to be called every time a payment is received. Data arrives via $_GET.

Or examining any given address with the Block Explorer API. This is much easier if you can set up a cron job.

Hi. Just use this: https://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_api. Send an http request to the single address URI and parse the JSON your application receives.

<p>I am building a little online app to accept bitcoin payments in my website. I have a blockchain.info wallet and I am following their Receive Payments Api, which can be visited here: <a href="http://blockchain.info/api/api_receive" rel="nofollow">http://blockchain.info/api/api_receive</a></p>

<p>The monetary part works great, but the HTTP Callback Notification does not take place and my online store is not notified of the payment. However, the TEST callback does work.</p>

<p>I think it is a problem on his application.</p>

<ul>
<li>Has anyone implemented the "Receive Money API" successfully? </li>
<li>Is there any other alternative for received instant payment notifications?
(To several different addresses)</li>
</ul>

<p>A friend of mine reports the same issue. We need a little help :)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

Hi Ben :-) I am generating addresses with the anonymous flag to false. The "fire test callback" works great, but when I actually send bitcoins, the http notification is not sent. Any ideas?

So, if I send bitcoins to the forward address, the payment is sent to my real address successfully. But the notification is not set :-(

Hi Ben. Could you please help me out? I would really appreciate since I can't go beyond the documentation. Test callback works ok, bitcoins are forwarded to the real addres but the notification is not sent from your Java App. I am sure about this because I am logging all queries and have access to the apache2 access logs.

Perhaps you have a list of blacklisted servers?
