Hi in order for this to work you will need to uninstall bitcore-lib and use the bitcore-lib that is configured in the bitcore-insight.

Your package.json file should only include bitcore-insight

thx a lot it worked, though it seems like bitpay is down or not accepting the request, any alternative?
Can you please tell how to convert it to mainnet?

@aman-singal It is not working for me either. Have you found any bitcoin node lightclient alternatives? I keep seeing Error: Cannot find module 'bitcore-lib' after installing bitcore-insight. Let's get this working

@johnworthley as told by @abel30567 in order to fix the error you have to use bitcore-lib which is configured with bitcore-insight. As fas as alternative is concerned i havent found any. The only way i can think of broadcasting a btc transacion rn is by running a full node

How are you importing bitcore? I am using const bitcore = require('../node_modules/bitcore-insight/node_modules/bitcore-lib') and seeing node_modules/bitcore-insight/node_modules/bitcore-lib/lib/util/preconditions.js:14 throw new errors.InvalidArgument(argumentName, message, docsPath); ^ Invalid Argument as an error?
