A Python/Django web application that serves as a blockchain explorer, showcasing the BlockCypher APIs for looking up transactions, addresses, and blocks. It is open source but no longer recommended for self-hosting except by expert users.

Use cases

  • browse bitcoin blockchain transactions and addresses
  • self-host a block explorer web app
  • demo the blockcypher api in a real application
  • look up blockchain transaction details in a browser
  • explore blocks and addresses on a crypto chain

When to choose

  • you want a reference implementation of the BlockCypher API in Python
  • you are an expert user who needs a customizable block explorer frontend

When to avoid

  • you want an actively maintained self-hosted explorer for production
  • you need a no-dependency local setup - the project itself warns local hosting is no longer recommended
