Receiving Bitcoin transaction data for a specific address
In this article, we will examine how to download a transaction list for a specific Bitcoin address using different methods and tools.
Method 1: With blockchain.info
Blockchain.info is one of the most popular blockchain explorers and provides access to the wealth of transaction data. You can search the Bitcoin address on their site and you can display the history of its transactions in JSON format.
Here’s how:
- Access [blockchair.com] ( (not blockchain.info).
- Enter the Bitcoin address for which you want to download transactions.
- Click “Get the transaction history” under the “Transactions” card.
- Choose the “JSON” starting format.
- Click “Download data”.
- The transaction data will be displayed in JSON format.
Method 2: With Blockchain Explorer (ETH)
Ethereum blockchain explorer, [blockchair.com] ( also offers access to the Bitcoin transaction. You can look for the Bitcoin address and display the history of its transactions in JSON format.
Here’s how:
- Access [blockchair.com] (
- Enter the Bitcoin address for which you want to download transactions.
- Click “Get the transaction history” under the “Transactions” card.
- Choose the “JSON” starting format.
- Click “Download data”.
- The transaction data will be displayed in JSON format.
Method 3: With Python Script
You can also use the Python script to download Bitcoin transaction data for a particular JSON address. Here’s an example:
`Python
Import requests
Def get_transaktions (address, output_formed):
URL = F " (address)/transaction"
Params = {"format": output_formed}
Answer = Requests.Get (URL, Params = Params)
Data = reply.json ()
Return of data
Get transactions for a particular address
Address = "BC1 ... Your-BC1-ADDR -Here"
Output_format = "json"
Transactions = Get_Transactions (address, output_formed)
For transactions in transactions:
Print ("TXID" transaction, transaction ["index"], transaction ["blockhash"])
This script sends a request to the API Blockchain Ethereum interface with a specific and output address. Then return a list of transactions in JSON format.
Method 4: With Web3.JS
Alternatively, you can use the web3.js library (available on Github) to interact with Blockchain Ethereum and download Bitcoin transaction data for a specific address.
JavaScript
Const web3 = requires ("web3");
Const web3 = New Web3 (New Web3.Providers.httpProvider ('http: // localhost: 8545'));
Consist address = "BC1 ... your-bc1-addr-ser";
Async gettransactions () {function
Const txs = waiting web3.etth.gettransciction (address, {in conclinblockheaders: true});
for (const tx of txs) {
Console.log (tx);
}
}
Gettranshactions ();
This script uses the web3.js library to interact with Blockchain Ethereum and to download Bitcoin transaction data for a particular address. Then record each transaction in JSON format.
Example example
Regardless of the method you choose, here are examples of data:
Json
[[[[[
{
"Txid": "00012345",
"Index": 1,
"Blockhash": "0c56f5d6 ..."
},
{
"Txid": "00067890",
"Index": 2,
"Blockhash": "0b345df8 ..."
}
]
`
This output shows the identifier, index and transaction block for each JSON transaction.
