Lookup any address balance

[Bitcoin_BOy$]

I'm using electrum on linux, and want to lookup any address balance and transaction, without being pointed to my wallet.
I'm using python and asking if this is possible.

Regards,
Bitcoin Boy.

Start by reading and experimenting with this:  http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/cmdline.html?highlight=command%20line

Nothing helpful found.

Any reason you're not using a block explorer API like block cypher? https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/bitcoin/

But I guess the Electrum commands you're after are:
getaddressbalance('1bitcoinAddress')
getaddresshistory('1bitcoinAddress')

NOTE: Those are the console commands... When trying to use from the command line, you may not need the ()'s or the ' characters
