Hi,
I was trying to get some basic information like address balance of any key using bitcoind. Right now, to do this we have to run tools like
https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe , which work nicely but takes days to complete import. Or we have to query external services like blockchain.info
I found an easier way is to recompile bitcoind with address index enabled (
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3652). Also other similar indexes can be added as per your convenience.
Just sharing, small script I wrote that uses this this to print any address credits/debits/balance, closure of bitcoin address.
