# Blockchain APIs for bitcore

[![NPM Package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/bitcore-explorers.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/bitcore-explorers)

[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/bitpay/bitcore-explorers.svg?branch=master&style=flat-square)](https://travis-ci.org/bitpay/bitcore-explorers)

[![Coverage Status](https://img.shields.io/coveralls/bitpay/bitcore-explorers.svg?style=flat-square)](https://coveralls.io/r/bitpay/bitcore-explorers)

A module for [bitcore](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore) that implements HTTP requests to different Web APIs to query the state of the blockchain.

## Getting started

Be careful! When using this module, the information retrieved from remote servers may be compromised and not reflect the actual state of the blockchain.

```sh

npm install bitcore-explorers

bower install bitcore-explorers

```

At the moment, only Insight is supported, and only getting the UTXOs for an address and broadcasting a transaction.

```javascript

var explorers = require('bitcore-explorers');

var insight = new explorers.Insight();

insight.getUtxos('1Bitcoin...', function(err, utxos) {

  if (err) {

    // Handle errors...

  } else {

    // Maybe use the UTXOs to create a transaction

  }

});

```
