pip install blockstream

pip3 install blockstream
from blockstream import blockexplorer
# get transaction by id
tx_id = '56a5b477182cddb6edb460b39135a3dc785eaf7ea88a572052a761d6983e26a2'
tx = blockexplorer.get_transaction(tx_id)
# get address data
address = '3ADPkym6mQ2HyP7uASh5g3VYauhCWZpczF'
addr_info = blockexplorer.get_address(address)
Reference examples.py to see each method in use
the scripthash
endpoint seems to be broken, however you can get data about a scripthash address by calling the address
endpoint. I have decided to remove the functions to hit the scripthash
endpoint for now.
