From what I've been checking, getreceivedbyaddress RPC command doesn't work on addresses not added in the wallet.

How can I query the whole blockchain for the balance of a list of addresses?
Bonus question, same thing but with xpub keys.

Thanks!

Going to try BitCore.
Is there any other way that might be more efficient, aside from using a site with an API, like blockchain.info?
