I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Oh, so I am using blockexplorer.com which does not work. Thanks!
Is there any alternative with the same syntax?

Perhaps the number you are receiving is old.
Looking at this page:
http://blockexplorer.com/
It appears that the last block that blockexplorer.com processed was block #358999.
Meanwhile, the current (as of the moment I'm writing this post) block at the tip of the blockchain is block #363471
This means that when you run:
https://blockexplorer.com/q/getreceivedbyaddress/1odt13c55k1FH75Th9joz5Z2kiUk3S8TW/100
You are receiving the total value of all transactions received at that address as of 4,572 blocks ago (that's approximately a month ago).

Hi,
I am a bit confused here, based on this
https://blockexplorer.com/q/getreceivedbyaddress
I have always thought that this function will give me the final balance on a BTC address.
For example, if I do
https://blockexplorer.com/q/getreceivedbyaddress/1odt13c55k1FH75Th9joz5Z2kiUk3S8TW/100
I would expect to receive a total balance on address 1odt13c55k1FH75Th9joz5Z2kiUk3S8TW that is confirmed by least 100 confirmations (i.e. newer transactions with less than 100 confirmations would not be counted).
But what I receive is 0.15363724 and I do not understand this.
If I look at https://blockchain.info/address/1odt13c55k1FH75Th9joz5Z2kiUk3S8TW
I can clearly see that the last transaction amount is -0.15363724, but I would expect either 0.09836446 or 0.2520017. Actually, based on the description in the first link, where it is mentioned that "Sends are not taken into account.", I would expect 0.2520017 to be returned from that call.
What am I missing?
And, probably more importantly, is there a call that returns what I am looking for (i.e. 0.2520017) ?
Thank you!
