Title: Multi cryptocurrency library needed
Post by: wondermike on September 16, 2019, 01:17:15 PM
Hi, I would like to create a little command line tool which queries a bunch of wallets which I feed it via a text file. End result should be something like this:
Currency/Address/Balance
BTC/1f73d96ab26.....4f923f/0123456
CHSB/0x84752f.....c3456/2345678
 ...

 I’ve started off with a little bash script querying the respective chain explorers with their apis using curl, but those explorers have their limitations as regards the query rate and the reliability. Moreover, not every currency is easy to query, some don’t even seem to expose an api.

Is there any multi cryptocurrency library which covers queries to wallets? To me, an ideal call would be something like “getbalance(Currency,Wallet)”. Step 2 would be that such a library would rather query the respective network instead of any explorer.

The language would of course not matter.
Thanks in advance for any advice
