Output address transactions with Ethereum's Explorer (Etherscan) API (Ethereum)

This article uses Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4. The python version is 3.5.0.

Introduction

Bitcoin and other virtual currencies have an explorer for checking addresses and transactions. Etherscan is available as an Explorer for Ethereum. And Etherscan also has an API. If you use this, you can easily extract transactions without going directly from the blockchain. So I will use it.

Etherscan API registration

To use the Etherscan API, you need to register Etherscan and obtain the API-KEY. The registration and acquisition procedure is described on the official Etherscan API page. You can get the API-KEY by newly registering with Etherscan and looking at ClientPortal-> MyApiKey.

Install py-etherscan-api

This time, we will use etherscan api using python. To do this, go to the py-etherscan-api github page (https://github.com/corpetty/py-etherscan-api/tree/cebc169dfca7d4fea5eec01c875550216de67039) and git clone it.

git-clone

git clone https://github.com/corpetty/py-etherscan-api.git

• Added 2019/02/07 I did not write a cd command to move to setup.py, so I added it

python

cd py-etherscan-api

Install locally after cloning.

python

python setup.py install

Output the transaction of the specified address

Etherscan ALL Account Obtain an appropriate address from the top of the amount and confirm the transaction.

• Added 2019/2/7 -Currently, get_all_transactions () was an error (Reference: [get_all_transactions leads to error in connect # 34] ](Https://github.com/corpetty/py-etherscan-api/issues/34)), changed to the method get_transaction_page (). If you want to get a lot of transactions, it should work well by processing the page_no variable and offset variable in get_transaction_page () and looping. -Also, the import of datetime was leaked, so I added it. -In addition, tsv is output.

get_tx_values.py(2019/2/7 version)

from etherscan import accounts
import pandas as pd
import datetime as dt
API_KEY = 'API_KEY' # change API_KEY 
ADDRESS = '0xb794f5ea0ba39494ce839613fffba74279579268' # change address 

def get_tx_value(page_no, address, api_key):
    ac = accounts.Account(address=address,api_key=api_key)
#     txes = ac.get_all_transactions()
    txes = ac.get_transaction_page(page_no)
    
    ret = []
    for t in txes:
        tmp = []
        tmp.append(t.get('from'))
        tmp.append(t.get('to'))
        tmp.append(int(t.get('value')) / 1000000000000000000 )
        tmp.append(dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(t.get('timeStamp'))))
        ret.append(tmp)
    return ret

ret = get_tx_value(page_no=1, address=ADDRESS,api_key=API_KEY)
df = pd.DataFrame(ret,columns=['from','to','value','datetime'])
df.to_csv('txes.tsv',sep='\t')

get_tx_values.py(old version. Does not work with error)

from etherscan import accounts
import pandas as pd
import datetime as dt
API_KEY = 'API_KEY' # change API_KEY 
ADDRESS = '0xb794f5ea0ba39494ce839613fffba74279579268' # change address 

def get_tx_value(address,api_key):
    ac = accounts.Account(address=address,api_key=api_key)
    txes = ac.get_all_transactions()
    ret = []
    for t in txes:
        tmp = []
        tmp.append(t.get('from'))
        tmp.append(t.get('to'))
        tmp.append(int(t.get('value')) / 1000000000000000000 )
        tmp.append(dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(t.get('timeStamp'))))
        ret.append(tmp)
    return ret

ret = get_tx_value(address=ADDRESS,api_key=API_KEY)
df = pd.DataFrame(ret,columns=['from','to','value','datetime'])

result

It matches the transaction on Etherscan. (Since python outputs from the oldest one, it comes out in the reverse order of Etherscan)

Explorer's API seems to be useful when analyzing address transactions.
