Hello
I am looking for a way to get public key by knowing a wallet address. Can somebody help me? Thanks!
Are/were you looking for a specific set of addresses or was your question more in general? If you are looking for a limited number (say smaller than 100,000 addresses) I can hook you up with that information if you can provide me with a list of addresses. However these will be limited to addresses used for sending at least once, with the exception of P2PK "addresses". I am looking for a way to get public key by knowing a wallet address. Can somebody help me? Thanks!
for address in addresses:
if address == '':
continue
response = requests.get('https://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/' + address)
~
if address == '':
continue
response = requests.get('https://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/' + address)
~
Considering your input size, this is going to get you throttled or blocked by blockchain.info VERY quickly unless you place a time.sleep() after the request is made.
You can only find it if someone has used it on the blockchain, and spent those satoshis. Or you generate it completely randomly yourself(good luck)
Please see the bellow python script:
import time
import requests
addresses = open('addr.txt', 'r').read().split('\n')
for address in addresses:
if address == '':
continue
response = requests.get('https://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/' + address)
if response.status_code == 200:
if response.text != '':
open('pubkeys.txt', 'a').write(address + ' : ' + response.text+"\n")
Good Luck & hope you will enjoy it smoothly........

A Bitcoin address includes a hash of the Public Key and a checksum to prevent mistypes from being accepted as valid addresses. The Public Key is disclosed when you spend Bitcoin from an address but not when you receive Bitcoins to that address.
If that address was ever spent from the public key will show up at blockexplorer.com .

If you have the private key, you can get the public key.
If bitcoins that were received at that address have ever been sent elsewhere, then you can find the public key in the blockchain.
If you have any message that was signed using the private key from that address, then you can get the public key from the signature.
If all you have is the bitcoin address, then it is not possible to get the public key.

Address is a hash of a public key - you cannot get it out from it just like that.
