Title: Simple way to get address balance ? Post by: Cryptolator on January 28, 2014, 02:16:03 AM I need to make a simple website that will monitor a list of address balance, what would be the easiest way to gather the information ?
Thanks in advance for you help ! ;) Title: Re: Simple way to get address balance ? Post by: Cryptolator on January 28, 2014, 04:47:59 AM Their must be a simple way to query something and receive the current balance.
I've look everywhere and can't find anything that work :( Title: Re: Simple way to get address balance ?

I do understand that, but why is that on Blockchain.info you can get the current balance ? http://image.bayimg.com/d42b63f83d7bca7dc84e01508e7d26ea910eb53c.jpg Title: Re: Simple way to get address balance ? Post by: eternaluniverse on January 28, 2014, 05:14:01 AM because they created a value for (addressX_input - addressX_output). You can get the balance of specific addresses via client but the way its calculated for everyone is through the blockchain

By the way thanks for your info, it's really appreciated ! Have you looked through the blockchain API? Yes, I think the solution may be: http://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json Which will return this: { "hash160":"660d4ef3a743e3e696ad990364e555c271ad504b", "address":"1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F", "n_tx":17, "n_unredeemed":2, "total_received":1031350000, "total_sent":931250000, "final_balance":100100000, "txs":[--Array of Transactions--] } And then, I isolate the "final_balance" value Not too sure how to implement it on a website tho, but I think it might be the way to go...

Like I said, it Is working. But to be clear on what I need I'll be more specific. I want to have a list of address on a website, and you'll have three possible states for each of the address: "not funded" , "partially funded" and "fully funded", those states will be based on a predefined value, for exemple, "1 bitcoin" so it will need a database that will contain the address and value. Ideally I would like to be able to have a search box where I can enter the first 8 char of the address and list the full address and the states. Hope that make my intentions clearer ! :) Title: Re: Simple way to get address balance ? Post by: rnp on January 29, 2014, 04:43:24 PM I've been playing around trying to make it Client-Side here:
http://rabidnerd.com/bitcoin/coinbalance.php Only BTC works because the others don't have CORS enabled (even Litecoin)... It's incredibly messy right now with comments and such.. And really is very early. Obviously Bitcoin doesn't exactly work this way, wallet balance is more valuable than address balance, but I was bored. Very cool jsFiddle btw.. For some reason I couldn't get the JSON to work (I think I tried before I put the CORS), so I went old-school and parsed it. I also did the received-sent in order to try to get it to work on other currencies.. But without CORS they're useless. Title: Re: Simple way to get address balance ?
