because they created a value for (addressX_input - addressX_output). You can get the balance of specific addresses via client but the way its calculated for everyone is through the blockchain

Ok, but their must be a way to grab the balance by querying blockchain.info ?

By the way thanks for your info, it's really appreciated !

Have you looked through the blockchain API?

Yes, I think the solution may be:
http://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json

Which will return this:

{
   "hash160":"660d4ef3a743e3e696ad990364e555c271ad504b",
   "address":"1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F",
   "n_tx":17,
   "n_unredeemed":2,
   "total_received":1031350000,
   "total_sent":931250000,
   "final_balance":100100000,
   "txs":[--Array of Transactions--]
}

And then, I isolate the "final_balance" value

Not too sure how to implement it on a website tho, but I think it might be the way to go...

JSON is javascript. If you know javascript, all you have to do is read the API documentation from blockchain.info and write the code. If you don't know javascript you must learn it

My JavaScript skills are limited, I think I'll have to hire someone !

I think you will need to get an api key from blockchain to be able to use that in code: http://blockchain.info/api/api_create_code

Their must be a simple way to query something and receive the current balance.

I've look everywhere and can't find anything that work Sad

That's not how bitcoin works, it works on inputs and outputs.

I do understand that, but why is that on Blockchain.info you can get the current balance ?

I need to make a simple website that will monitor a list of address balance, what would be the easiest way to gather the information ?

Thanks in advance for you help ! Wink
