Title: Lightweight blockchain explorer
Post by: fancyDog on July 19, 2014, 03:04:31 AM
I am currently working in a project which needs to look at some specifc addresses. I have evaulated some blockchain expolorer, but all of them required huge space for the whole blockchain, but I just want to capture the transactions of some specific addresses , do you have any suggestion?

Maybe querying Bitcoin Core in RPC mode via PHP can do the trick.

-tx=1 but you can't query by address, only rawtransactions and blocks, so you will mostly likely have to build something on top of it.

I would use a blockchain explorer api at this point.
