Currently there are 35 million unspent transaction outputs. Is there a site somewhere where I can query this data to see, for instance, how many UTXO's exist with a value less than 20,000 satoshis? Or the total unique scriptPubKey values found in a UTXOs?

To my knowledge, there is no such site. You could get this with some coding. For example accessing a node's levelDB; see chainstate db keys in the accepted answer of this question.– karaskCommented Apr 25, 2016 at 8:17

The standard bitcoind core daemon has no methods to query the UTXO set for reasons I don't know: it should be trivial to give access to it even on a pruned node since it needs to have the full UTXO set at any time to validate a new block.
Anyway a pull request seems in progress to add this capability: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8952
There are anyway third party apis to query a single address, for example https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/ or https://chain.so/api

The pull request you refer to improves the
listunspentRPC, which queries the wallet. It does not give you access to the network-side UTXO set. The does exist agettxoutRPC, however. Commented Apr 17, 2017 at 7:43 -
Thanks, I misinterpreted. Anyway I'm still at a loss in understanding why there is no way to query the UTXO. A simple command to check if tx/index is in the UTXO would be a great start, for example. Commented Apr 17, 2017 at 16:33

@AlessandroPolverini did you find the answer to your question? Commented Jun 26, 2017 at 13:14

No, I haven't find any method to list all the UTXO: you already have to know it to query one out of a tx. Commented Jun 27, 2017 at 9:28
