I am trying to find a way to get the total transaction number for a list of Ethereum addresses

I am working on some tools that will allow me to finish my blockchain analysis project and I need help.

I have a list of 1000 Ethereum addresses and I am trying to get the total transaction number for each of these addresses.

Solutions I've come up with so far:

  • I looked into the web3.py library and read their documentation but I couldn't seem to find a function like web3.eth.get_transaction_count({address}) it seemed promising at first but now I don't see any use for it.

  • I looked into blockchain.info's API, they do in fact have an endpoint that returns the total transactions number, but they only do bitcoin + they have a rate limit, bummer..

  • I looked into etherscan.io's API, same as web3.py, they don't return total transaction information...

Is there any possible way one could fetch the total transactions number for an Ethereum address? Without having to worry about rate limits etc. ?

Solution

  • What I would suggest is to use the blockscout API. Here is the documentation: Blockscout API

    Use the txlist API from account module:

    ?module=account&action=eth_get_balance&address={addressHash}
