How can I get the date of the last transaction from the blockchain.info API?

Question

Is there a way to request the date of last transaction via API? I run a request to see balance of my addresses and need to request the date of the last transaction, how would I do that?

Answer 1

This is an ambiguous question as we don't know what your environment is. If you are using bitcoind, a call to gettransaction will give you a time field which is when the transaction has been seen.

Perhaps if you elaborate a bit more we would be able to answer the question more specifically.

Answer 2

If you call the address API i.e.

https://blockchain.info/address/$hash_160?format=json you will get a list of transactions.

They all have a time attribute which is the time in unix format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Answer 3

import requests import time

def check_address_last_transaction_dates(filename): with open(filename, 'r') as file: address_list = [line.strip() for line in file]

for address in address_list:
    url = f"https://blockchain.info/address/{address}?format=json"
    response = requests.get(url)
    
    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()

        if "txs" in data:
            # Find the most recent transaction in the list of transactions
            transactions = data["txs"]
            if transactions:
                most_recent_tx = max(transactions, key=lambda x: x["time"])
                last_tx_date = most_recent_tx["time"]
                last_tx_date_formatted = format_timestamp_to_month_year(last_tx_date)
                print(f"Address: {address}, Last Transaction Date: {last_tx_date_formatted}\n")
            else:
                print(f"Address: {address}, No last transaction data available\n")
        else:
            print(f"Address: {address}, No transaction data available\n")
    else:
        print(f"Address: {address}, Error fetching data\n")
    
    # Introduce a 1-second delay between checking addresses
    time.sleep(1)

def format_timestamp_to_month_year(timestamp): # Convert UNIX timestamp to month/year format from datetime import datetime date = datetime.utcfromtimestamp(timestamp) return date.strftime("%B %Y")

Specify the filename containing the list of Bitcoin addresses

filename = "btc500.txt"

check_address_last_transaction_dates(filename)

with this code you can check last transaction date/year only no other information.....replace your btc address list file with btc500.txt
