Bitcoin address balance checker.

[AB de Royse777]

I used to use this tool to post in the forum where I needed an image of the balance of the btc address: https://btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com/

But it seems the tool is not working anymore.

I needed to post an image of $ balance of the escrow address of Project Covid-19 in a post:

The current balance in the donation address is ~ $176.34 (0.01894254 BTC)
Please check in the explorer : https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/3Covid19s5zLNzQHGGLBeqkizwApUb19bj

Can anyone help me find a tool to serve my purpose.

Cheers,

I used the same site, and I've missed it too. But it's open source so anyone can recreate it.

I do not have much clue about process of recreating it :-p
This was really a useful too when that site had it active.

I have created a tool in excel that does exactly that, unlimited number of addresses and pretty easy to use.
Look here:

Create an Address and Wallet Watcher for free with Excel+ Blockchair API

As I have many addresses with balance, I really need a tool like this,.

Additionally, you can check these websites, but both have cons:

http://www.homebitcoin.com/easybalance/ (only for 1 and 3 addresses, don't recognize native segwit)
www.blockonomics.co (need to create an account, bad for privacy)

I've done that. It also supports bech32, which the one you linked above didn't.

Unfortunately, Let's Encrypt just rate limited me because I did a mistake and I'm waiting for it to clear out in ~1 hour so I can get a SSL certificate for this project's subdomain.

It should be: https://btc.ninjastic.space

Example:

https://btc.ninjastic.space/balance/1BAFWQhH9pNkz3mZDQ1tWrtKkSHVCkc3fV

You can also customize the color and size of the image:
https://btc.ninjastic.space/balance/:ADDRESS/:COLOR-HEX/?size=X

Example:

https://btc.ninjastic.space/balance/1BAFWQhH9pNkz3mZDQ1tWrtKkSHVCkc3fV/ff0000?size=24

It's giving an error because of the SSL thing, but it should work in a few hours. =(

edit: working now!

Looking forward to it bud @TryNinja

Edit:

It looks like this:

Imagine you own the private key :-P

All good now. Looks like your image is already working.

Keep in mind that I'm not sure how the forum's proxy image works and if they cache the image or something, so I'm not 100% sure if it will be always updated and if not, how long does it take to update.

It also has a price endpoint where you input a value (e.g 10 USD) and it shows the amount in BTC, but the API I use (Bitcoinaverage) is limiting the free accounts to 5k requests month, so it's not as reliable as the /balance.

Imagine you own the private key :-P

A man can only wish...

Imagine we are into bitcoin before few hundreds billions people in the world and have more or less some holdings. It's not less big bud. :-D

Awesome work and you saved my day.

Just released,  we need to Dollar value :-P

If you need to use it, it's also quite simple:

https://btc.ninjastic.space/price/AMOUNT/color?ticker=USD&size=X

Example:

= $100
https://btc.ninjastic.space/price/100/ff0000?ticker=USD

It uses BitcoinAverage price.

And again, it will be limited to 5k requests/month until/unless people get more interest in this and I try to find a different solution.

I think there is a misunderstanding in my expectations. I want the USD value of a given address.

So if the address has 1 BTC balance then we will see USD value of that 1 BTC.

Ohh... I see. I can implement that as well.

You want it in a different endpoint/image so you can put one right the other (amount in BTC and price) or both in the same image, e.g 1 BTC ($9385)?

Good to know. I think we don't need both to be in the same image. Separate will make the life easier for me :-o

[TryNinja]

Done! It's the same format as the /balance/ endpoint but with /price/ instead.

Format: https://btc.ninjastic.space/price/ADDRESS/COLOR?size=X

This is great man and quick.

If you cache the price data and update no more than once every 10 minutes, you'll never hit the limit.

Thanks for the tool! I've bookmarked your post.

I need to expand the story a bit.
Are there any tools with transaction notifications? Email, Telegram or whatever notification when balance changed?
I use something on Etherscan for Ethereum changes, but it will be fine if there any tools for Bitcoin addresses.

There are. Not from me, though.

I always used @MagnumNotifierBot (Telegram) for that. They support a lot of coins and send you a notification every time you have an incoming or outgoing transaction from a tracked address.

Something that caught my attention now. So how do I set up this bot with the specific address I want. I need it to observe the Covid-19 project donation address.

Edit: I am feeling stupid now lol
I just added the address with the bot and it was super easy lol

Well, I am surprised, there is an option for many major currencies.
It seems does not work for me. I just send some BTC, but I did not receive any notification.
The bot also does not read my regular balances on the added address.

First you need to give them the address and then they will ask you to chose which coin and you chose Bitcoin to activate the notifications. Mine s working fine. Reveived three notificaions for two tx. My guess is one tx was rebroadcased because the fees was low or I would have two notifications for two tx.

I guess remove the bot and then add it again. Hopefully it will work.
