title: Insight Explorer description: Provides an interface to fetch information about the state of the blockchain from a trusted Insight server.
Insight
Description
bitcore.transport.explorers.Insight is a simple agent to perform queries to an Insight blockchain explorer. The default servers are https://insight.bitpay.com and https://test-insight.bitpay.com, hosted by BitPay Inc. You can (and we strongly suggest you do) run your own insight server. For more information, head to https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api
There are currently two methods implemented (the API will grow as features are requested): getUnspentUtxos and broadcast.
Retrieving Unspent UTXOs for an Address (or set of)
var insight = new Insight();
insight.getUnspentUtxos('1Bitcoin...', function(err, utxos) {
if (err) {
// Handle errors...
} else {
// Maybe use the UTXOs to create a transaction
}
});
Broadcasting a Transaction
var insight = new Insight();
insight.broadcast(tx, function(err, returnedTxId) {
if (err) {
// Handle errors...
} else {
// Mark the transaction as broadcasted
}
});
