Ethereum: GetddressesByaccount RPC Alternative
As you use Bitcoin Core V0.15.1 and have encountered a problem with the Getaddresbyaccount method, which is marked as withdrawn in the output of the errors from the error, it is essential to study alternative solutions for extracting Ethereum addresses.
The 'Getaddresbyacccount method is introduced in Bitcoin 3.2.0 to provide a more standard way to request Blockchain for accounts. However, its use is largely withdrawn for various reasons, including improved performance and functionality.
Why getddresbyaccount gets withdrawn?
The main reason for the depreciation of GetaddressbyCyacccount lies in its volatile application in various block headings (BTC, BCH, BSV). The behavior of the method varies greatly depending on the current block title. This mismatch has led to confusion among the developers and users who rely on this API.
Alternative approaches:
Fortunately, there are several alternatives to the withdrawn method GetddresbyAccount:
- ETH_GETADDRESS : This is RPC Call, which extracts a specific Ethereum address from Blockchain.
`json
Curl -x Post \
`
- ETH_GETRAWTRANSAction : You can use this method to retrieve the raw transaction related to the Ethereum address, which includes account information.
`json
Curl -x Post \
`
- ETH_GETBLOCKTRANSAction : This method retrieves a transaction block containing Ethereum account data.
`json
Curl -x Post \
`
Using these alternatives with Bitcoin Core
To use these alternative methods, you will need to update the Bitcoin core configuration and change the call to “GetaddresbyAccount” in your script. Here is an example of how to extract Ethereum addresses using each of the alternative approaches:
ETH_GETADDRESS
`Python
Import json
Import request
def get_eth_address (address):
URL = ” {} & Key = i,)”. Format (address, api_key)
Answer = Requests.post (URL)
Data = Response.json ()
Return Data [“Result”] [“Address”]
Api_key = “your_api_key”
`
ETH_GETRAWTRANSAction
`Python
Import json
Import request
def get_eth_raw_transction (transaction):
URL = ” {) & address = {) & Key = Iud
Answer = Requests.post (URL)
Data = Response.json ()
Return Data [‘Result’] [‘Transaction’]
Api_key = “your_api_key”
`
ETH_GETBLOCKTRANSAction
`Python
Import json
Import request
def get_eth_block_transction (blocknumber):
URL = ” {) & address = Iud
Answer = Requests.post (URL)
Data = Response.json ()
Return data [“result”]
Api_key = “your_api_key”
`
Conclusion
While the GetaddressesByaccount method retires and is no longer recommended for use, it is essential to understand its restrictions. By exploring alternative approaches such as ETH_GETADDRESS,ETH_GETRAWTRANSAction and ETH_GETBLOCKTRANSASION, you can continue to retrieve Ethereum addresses from Blockchain by using your preferred programming language.
Be sure to replace your_api_Key with your actual Etherscan API key and update your script accordingly to ensure a smooth execution.
