Thanks for pointing out this directory... i didn't know it was there. I am trying to build a separate application that needs to do things such as retrieving the balance of a Bitcoin address without downloading the blockchain. I want the application to be as fault tolerant as possible and it seems that Electrum servers may provide this (i also do not want Electrum client to be a dependency for my application).
It looks like most of what i need is in network.py and interface.py. Hopefully i can put on my expert hacker hat and extract the logic i need.
Topic: Getting address history from electrum server directly? (Read 809 times)
why don't you use the scripts in the scripts directory?
Is it possible to get the address history (or for my purposes, even better, the address balance) directly from an Electrum server using curl? Something like this:
curl -i -X POST -d '{"id": 1, "method": "blockchain.block.get_history", "params": ["1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v"]}' http://electrum.bitcoins.sk:8081/
