I was wondering if there's any way to remotely link to an Electrum client. I know that you can do this with bitcoind/bitcoin-qt through JSON-RPC, but as far as I can tell there's no way to accomplish this with Electrum. Does anyone here know of any solutions to this? Would I have to host my own Electrum server?



I was also looking for discussion on RC for Electrum - led me here:

Answered the question on IRC, but for posterity and anybody else who has the question: check out the scripts directory in the Electrum source code and you'll see a merchant.py script that you can model off of to perform what you may want to do. Electrum's scripting in python makes for relatively easy custom integration scripts.

You can create scripts to use an Electrum client installed on a server, e.g. for a WebApp
