Balance of an address

[Snape14]

Hello community!

I would like to know if there is a way to check bitcoin address balance which is not mine using bitcoind?
blockchain.info API is not a solution because I have too many addresses to check and it will get too long if you respect API limitations.

Thank you.

You could also use the biteasy.com REST API which allows you to get the balances of multiple addresses with one call.

biteasy, thank you for your reply.
But I don't think you would be happy if I requested something like all the addresses in existence.

It seems like the only way to solve the problem is to parse all the blocks to a database using getblock/getrawtransaction/decoderawtransaction commands to a bitcoind server.

heh, yeah you are right, it wouldn't be possible to do that.
Parsing the blockchain yourself is the only way to go for what you need.

Maybe this will be helpful to you:
