Bitcoin Lab 2 is LIVE
Next-generation on-chain analytics suite is now LIVE. Free Bitcoin Charts, Dashboard and API. Real-time updates as new blocks hit the chain.
We’re pleased to share that our next-generation on-chain analytics suite is now live, alongside a refreshed brand.
Bitcoin Lab 2 includes:
- Bitcoin Lab Charts — high-quality visualizations of on-chain metrics
- Bitcoin Lab Pulse — market/on-chain status at a glance
- Bitcoin Lab API (v2) — programmatic access to raw on-chain data
Behind the scenes, our analytical engine has been fully redesigned and now delivers real-time updates as new blocks are added.
What happens next
- RBN API v1 will remain available (without documentation) until February 14, 2026 to allow time for migration.
- RBN Charts has been deprecated and replaced by Bitcoin Lab Charts
How should API users prepare?
We strongly recommend that all API users begin testing integrations against API v2 now
We recommend that API users:
- Visit the API V2 to review documentation and FAQs
- Familiarize themselves with updated metric naming and labeling conventions
- Note that existing API V1 tokens can be used with API V2; however, API V2 tokens must be renewed every 90 days
- Be aware that the old API V1 will remain available at its existing endpoint (api.researchbitcoin.net/v1)
Please note that some metrics will differ significantly from API v1.
API v1 relied on a snapshot-based computation model, whereas API v2 processes every individual transaction on the blockchain.
As a result, some users may need to re-download full historical datasets, particularly for metrics derived from spent outputs.
