Connecting 3rd party nodes to Bitcoinlib

I have this node endpoint that requires JSON-RPC payload: https://btc.getblock.io/my_api_key/testnet/

I have not been able to connect this node to the Bitcoinlib Python module.

I have tried to connect this node to the Bitcoinlib module. I however have failed thus far in doing so. Bitcoinlib's built-in AuthServiceProxy is only able to connect to locally hosted nodes (using username and password). How do I establish a connection to this third party node provider in Bitcoinlib with only an API link?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, we cannot help with connecting to a third-party library, as it is outside our jurisdiction.

    But you can try to use the requests library in Python to send HTTP requests to the JSON-RPC endpoint and handle the JSON-RPC payload manually.
