Title: Is there any API that could find addresses that contain a certain UTXO? Post by: cerealenthusiast on June 25, 2019, 12:29:48 PM Hi,
I'm trying to build a sort of blockchain explorer, and I would need an API that could get me all the addresses that contains a UTXO > to a certain amount that I would choose. I tried searching online but couldn't really find anything, to my knowledge even blockchain.info doesn't do that. Otherwise how could I implement it myself? Thanks, Title: Re: Is there any API that could find addresses that contain a certain UTXO? Post by: bob123 on June 25, 2019, 12:34:46 PM What are you trying to accomplish?
Example: Code: UTXO-1 UTXO-2 UTXO-3 Code: UTXO-2 UTXO-99 UTXO-4 UTXO-5 UTXO-6 What do you define as 'all addresses that contain UTXO' ? Please explain it with UTXO-2 as an example. I am not sure whether you have understood how it works.. because your question doesn't really make sense. Title: Re: Is there any API that could find addresses that contain a certain UTXO? Post by: cerealenthusiast on June 25, 2019, 12:37:57 PM Yeah sorry it's not super clear, basically I would just want to get all addresses that have a balance of X amount. I know the blockchain doesn't record balances that's why I specified every addresses that has a minimum UTXO (maybe I'm wrong though?).

Well.. basically you would run a full node fully indexed and then check the chainstate folder / build a database containing all address/UTXO pairs. Then its simple sorting. This tool (https://github.com/mycroft/chainstate (https://github.com/mycroft/chainstate)) could probably help you. It wouldn't be much effort if you build your application around this tool.

Post by: cerealenthusiast on June 25, 2019, 01:01:01 PM I would have hoped to not have to run a full node for that, I can't really have 260Gigs taken on my drive, that's why I was looking for an api that would just return any addresses with for example 1 BTC in UTXO.

If you want to build your own blockchain explorer, you will need to have your own full node. There is no way without. If you can't afford a 500GB HDD, better don't try to build your own blockchain explorer. Title: Re: Is there any API that could find addresses that contain a certain UTXO? Post by: AdolfinWolf on June 26, 2019, 04:21:54 PM I think Goochain lets you filter this, no?
https://goochain.net You can use the "Equal or min" v "Max" feature, and set a range of dates? I'm not sure if they have an api though. i don't think so. Hmm. Might not really be what you're looking for. Not exactly an api... But this post might help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5064946.msg47841891#msg47841891 What i was thinking too. If you don't want to run your own node/download chainstate, i guess you can simply use that to filter out all the adresses that have more/less than X amount of satoshi?Although.. adresses =/= utxo's. |
