cb-insight

Common Blockchain wrapper for any Bitpay Insight API.

Common Blockchain

Common Blockchain is a concept invented by Daniel Cousens to normalize the differences between Blockchain APIs so that you can easily switch APIs if you need to.

Canonical Example

• cb-helloblock

Testing Module

• cb-tester

Alternatives

• Helloblock
• Blockr

API

Addresses

summary(addresses, callback)

• addresses: an array of addresses or just a single address string
• callback: function to call upon completion. Function signature function(err, results). If an array of addresses is passed, results will be an array. If a single address is passed, then results will be a single result object.

example:

var Blockchain = require('cb-insight')
var blockchain = new Blockchain('https://test-insight.bitpay.com')
 
var addr = 'mpNDUWcDcZw1Teo3LFHvr8usNdwDLKdTaY'
blockchain.addresses.summary(addr, function(err, result) {
  console.dir(result)
})

returns:

{ address: 'mpNDUWcDcZw1Teo3LFHvr8usNdwDLKdTaY',
  balance: 20000,
  totalReceived: 20000,
  txCount: 1 }

unspents(addresses, callback)

• addresses: an array of addresses or just a single address string
• callback: function to call upon completion. Function signature function(err, utxos). utxos is an array of unspent outputs.

example:

var Blockchain = require('cb-insight')
var blockchain = new Blockchain('https://test-insight.bitpay.com')
 
var addrs = [
  'mpNDUWcDcZw1Teo3LFHvr8usNdwDLKdTaY',
  'mv3fK2ME7g9K4HswGXs6mG92e7gRgsTsqM',
  'mvJCbQvE6DgVAECMwDprASP3NMwuU53Eie',
  'mvwvsPT2J3VPEaYmFdExFc4iBGRRK2Vdkd'
]
blockchain.addresses.unspents(addrs, function(err, utxos) {
  console.dir(utxos)
})

returns:

 [ { txId: 'ffd316b0c4feb9d29c61c3734fcde0167600441e560931c8c7267a9de3d9e29a',

Transactions

propagate(rawTxs, callback)

• rawTxs: an array of raw transaction hex strings, or just a single hex string
• callback: function to call upon completion with signature function(err, results). If rawTxs is an array of hex strings, then results will be an array, otherwise, result is a single object.

example:

var Blockchain = require('cb-insight')
var blockchain = new Blockchain('https://test-insight.bitpay.com')
 
var rawTxs = ['01000000018a3feea3ee433d5d6ff342c1a73bf67eded7a645725c7cdc4ce3f56b0f55de7d000000008b4830450221009d342a19422d2d16cfeac63b48f91d45df55d3b0e7cf60fe4c60ef337e4c742a0220230b9d2c248d4c85ab53c3efa18ab0a39ed72ab1d1926bdffbaaf9b60f5d165a0141047e646d9a2731ec1eb862e80e9fd262def4137e04dc4b9b1a04e4b1494f4748095a872ee5dd2653df252c84f553fc8d53d143920ae2508edf5798703bcb7ff1d3ffffffff01a0860100000000001976a9146ef4a59431f760a19a3dbf27fb442126f4b876f588ac00000000',
