Is there any command line Bitcoin client (nodeless)?

[yegor256]

I'm looking for a Bitcoin command line client, which will do two things: 1) retrieve the balance of an address, and 2) send a payment from a number of UTXOs. I'm trying to find one, but no luck so far.

bitcoin-core CLI, bitcoinJS in a nodejs interpreter, Armory, etc..

You could use your browser for it, check out this website https://segwitaddress.org
Over at this youtube channel you can find some tutorials how to use it cmd style in your browser.

If you're running Linux... Electrum also has a CLI mode that allows basic functionality... note that the CLI doesn't work in Windows.

You could also try and leverage some of the API's available like Blockcypher: https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/bitcoin/

They have examples for the API calls using cURL, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Go & PHP
