AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Blockstream API (Esplora) to retrieve the transaction history of a specified Bitcoin address on various Bitcoin networks (mainnet, testnet, Liquid, Liquid testnet). It is useful for users who want to analyze or monitor the transactions associated with a Bitcoin address, such as wallet activity tracking or blockchain data analysis.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the last 25 transactions of a Bitcoin mainnet address to monitor wallet activity.
  2. Fetch up to 50 transactions from a testnet address for testing or development purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Network Specifies which Bitcoin network to query (mainnet, testnet, Liquid, or Liquid testnet).
Address The Bitcoin address for which to retrieve transaction history.
Limit Maximum number of transactions to return (between 1 and 50).

Output

JSON

  • json - Array of transaction objects representing the transaction history of the specified address, limited by the 'Limit' parameter.

Dependencies

  • Blockstream API (Esplora) endpoint accessed via HTTP requests using axios library.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid or malformed Bitcoin addresses, which will cause the API to return errors.
  • Network selection must match the address type; querying mainnet for a testnet address will fail.
  • Limit parameter must be between 1 and 50; values outside this range may cause errors or unexpected results.
  • API rate limits or network connectivity issues may cause request failures.
