If you type just the domain name you get http:// by default, which, in my experience, is how most people type in site URLs.
I am not sure on how to get https:// by default while still supporting http:// for people who prefer it. It may take some advanced 302 redirect.
We will investigate and see what we can do there. Suggestions are much appreciated.
That said, a couple ideas on how to implement:
* Use an alternate domain, eg `insecure.domain.com`
* Use an alternate path prefix, eg `domain.com/insecure/` -- your app would have to be able to handle this
* Use a parameter that sets a cookie that your load balancer/reverse proxy can understand, eg, `http://domain.com/?https=false`, and will prevent redirect -- definitely the most complex from the proxy point-of-view, but means the URL (other than the scheme) is consistent for both types of user
But.... Do you guys have a business model that is going to keep you around long enough for me to bother hardcoding your api into embedded devices? I build things that connect real world actions to cryptocurrency markets, diverting power, metering resource consumption, etc.
For your embedded devices, we can make something special just for you

Please get in touch by email if you need something special.
If you have hard constraints, we can provide you with a special API returning only the value(s) you need so you do not even have to parse anything.
Not attempting to be snide, this sentiment echoes exactly what GraphQL solves.
And if you make embedded devices using our API, maybe you need more than the free API?
We sell access based on subscription for 0.1 BCH per month.
Or maybe you need our 'special services'?
