Ethereum: Bitcoin Transaction Detection with PHP

I can give you an article on how to detect Bitcoin transactions using PHP and Lazy API.

Bitcoin transaction detection using PHP with Lazy API

In this article, we’ll look at how to use the Lazy API in conjunction with PHP to detect Bitcoin transactions for a given address. Lazy API is a powerful tool that allows developers to automate tasks, including transaction discovery, by analyzing data from various sources such as blockchains and APIs.

Introduction to Ethereum Transactions

Before diving into the code, it’s important to understand how Ethereum transactions work. Ethereum transactions are based on the Ethereum blockchain and consist of two main components: input (sender) and output (receiver). The records contain the private keys of the sender and all the necessary information for spending tokens or sending ether. The output data determines what and to whom it is necessary to communicate.

Lazy API Basics

Lazy API is an open source project that provides a simple interface for extracting data from a variety of sources, including APIs, blockchains, and more. Using the Lazy API, we can integrate our own code into their system to retrieve and process data in real time.

Bitcoin transaction detection using PHP and Lazy API

Here’s an example of how you can use the Lazy API to find Bitcoin transactions for a given address using PHP:

require_once 'path/to/lazy-api.php';


function detect_transactions($address, $api_key) {

    // Set credentials for Lazy API

    $settings = array(

        'api_key' => $api_key,

        'api_secret' => $api_key,

        'base_url' => '

        'timeout' => 30.0, // in seconds

        'retry_interval' => 10.0, // in milliseconds

    );


    // Create a new Lazy API instance

    $lazy_api = new LazyAPI($settings);


    // Set the request parameters for the GET request

    $query_params = string(

        'address' => $address,

        'count' => 100, // Get up to 100 transactions

        'sort' => 'asc', // Sort by timestamp in ascending order

        'limit' => 0, // Don't limit the results

        'offset' => 0, // No offset for this request

    );


    ask {

        // Make a GET request to retrieve transactions

        $response = $lazy_api->get('transactions', $query_params);


        if ($response['status'] == 200) {

            // Process the received data (for example, create a new array)

            $transactions = $response['data'];


            // Print or save detected transactions

            print_r($transactions);

        } more {

            echo "Error: " . $response['status'];

        }

    } catch (Exception $e) {

        echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();

    }

}


// Usage example:

$address = '1A1z2f3v4d5e6f7'; // Bitcoin address

$api_key = 'your_api_key_here'; // Replace with your Lazy API key


discover_transactions($address, $api_key);

How ​​it works:

• We create a new instance of the LazyAPI class, passing it our credentials and settings.

• We define a detect_transactions function that takes an address and an API key as arguments.

• Inside the function, we set the parameters of the GET request using the Lazy API $query_params array.

• We make a GET request to retrieve transactions using the get' method of our Lazy API instance.

• In the usage examples section, you will need to replace$addresswith your desired Bitcoin address and$api_key` with your actual Lazy API key.

Conclusion:

Detecting Bitcoin transactions using PHP with Lazy API is an effective way to automate tasks related to transaction data analysis.
