I used to run code:

<?php echo file_get_contents("https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=30"); ?>

In order to simply display how much 30 dollars in bitcoin is currently worth, I noticed this stopped working.

When I visit the URL I get the bitcoin value, so I figured it must be my webserver that's blocked from reaching blockchain.info. When I visit the URL using my web hotel IP I get this:

Please use our onion link https://blockchainbdgpzk.onion/

This server is not on a tor network so onion IP is not reachable... What am I doing wrong? Is the fault on my side or their side? Are there any alternative ways of displaying the value that doesn't query their servers?

It appears my server must have been on a ip block that is flagged by blockchain.info as a tor node, i have no idea how this occurred but that's the only explanation i have, i managed to get another ip block from same web hotel now and it works with file_get_contents, odd.
