Blockchain address tracker bot is an automated tool that monitors any activity on-chain. For example, by tracking the wallet address, users can grasp Token transaction information in real-time.

When we start to develop this kind of DApp, it is complicated and time-consuming for developers who are just getting start, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

This is the problem that the Tokenview blockchain data service platform solves. Tokenview provides APIs and distributed node services. Developers can directly obtain data on-chain through Restful, and can monitor transaction data on-chain in real time without running and maintaining their own nodes.

How to use the address tracking API to develop Address Tracker Bot?

Step 1:Creat a Tokenview Account

Tokenview provides a blockchain developer interface, which allows developers to obtain real-time data without starting or building their own nodes. The transaction information is sent to the user’s server through webhook, and finally converted into user-readable text or pictures and other information.

Step 2:Set Webhook URL

After completing step 1, you will get an APIkey. Now click [Address Tracking] >> [Settings], and add the URL for receiving information. If you do not set it or set it incorrectly, you will not be able to receive the push balance change notification.

Step 3:Add tracking address

Select the public chain you want to track and enter the address to be tracked. Currently, the Tokenview address tracking API support: BTC, ETH (including all ERC20 tokens), TRX (including all TRC20 tokens), LTC, BCH, DOGE, ETC, DASH, RVN, etc., and addresses can be uploaded in batches.

Step 4:Get address balance and transaction information

When activities such as on-chain transactions occur at the tracked address, the Webhook URL will receive the following information, including: tracking address, transaction hash, transaction time, transaction amount, Token transaction amount, Token address and name, etc.

Step 5:Transaction information scene adaptation

After receiving the information in step 4, convert the corresponding field information into visual information that users can understand and read.

For example:when user tracked a BTC address like:bc1qmpha0v5whv483qjnvqrcxgpfupt0zxhgkgtxly,will get some field information address、txid、value etc., then convert these into text or pictures that users can understand.

This BTC address transferred 41 BTC to the address beginning with bc1qw, and the transaction hash is: 5c22af60886b4dcdd338e5e2a2b42a25fdf2b2ec099d707db3dcb61958637c35
