What is the easiest way to list UTXO for an address?

https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/test3/addrs/mo8cuzxCzpyHd7fr1cA7nBrNuRbPaz1LsM/full?limit=50%3FunspentOnly=false&includeScript=true

Using the blockcypher API it returns all outputs, but not all of them are expendable.

You can use Bitcoin Core and it's scantxoutset command. It will return all UTXOs in the UTXO set that fit a specified address.

I think that's because you specify "full" and/or "unspentOnly=false"
I tried the following api and it returns the 2 available utxo

Got it!!

I wasted considerable time trying to filter the wrong answer.

Thank you, gentlemen.
