This repository is a client library that encapsulates HTTP requests to a third-party API. It provides a convenient interface for interacting with the API, specifically designed for querying and retrieving information from the Bitcoin blockchain. With this library, developers can easily integrate Bitcoin functionality into their applications by making HTTP requests to the API and accessing a wide range of features, including querying blockchain data, retrieving transaction details, checking account balances, and even sending Bitcoin transactions securely.
Note: This library is currently in an unstable version. Interfaces and types are subject to change as we continue to develop and improve the library.
- Go (Version 1.14 or later recommended)
go get github.com/EthanShang8989/go-btc-api-client
Below is a simple example demonstrating how to use btcclient to fetch all transactions in a block:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/EthanShang8989/go-btc-api-client/btcclient/esplora"
)
func main() {
client := esplora.NewClient(btcclient.BlockstreamTestnetURL)
blockHash := "0000000010942ddf9a42bf4b987867badad7c86bce24d28b2bd5cc459ef64c81"
transactions, err := client.GetBlockAllTransactions(blockHash)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to get transactions: %v", err)
}
for _, tx := range transactions {
fmt.Printf("Transaction ID: %s\n", tx.Txid)
}
}
Fully compatible with the Blockstream API and partially compatible with the Mempool API. Note that some Mempool API endpoints are not yet supported.
We are actively working on expanding the compatibility and functionality of the go-btc-api-client. The planned features include:
- Full support for all Mempool API endpoints.
- Support for mainstream third-party api
- Partial compatibility with btcd types,
Stay tuned for updates and feel free to contribute to these enhancements!
