Etherscan server

Etherscan server is a proxy server to etherscan api which expose REST API to fetch data about addresses and blocks. Right now it only support GET requests and handle two queries:

<etherscan_server_address>/api/balance/<address_of_specific_ethereum_address>

which will respond with actual balance of given address and

<etherscan_server_address>/api/block/<blockNumber>

which will show timestamp, blockMiner and blockReward and allows you to see other blocks mined by the same miner.

Building and running server

In order to build docker image with etherscan server issue:

docker build -t etherscan_server .

than you can start etherscan_server with:

docker run -it  -p<port_to_listen>:8080 etherscan_server 

To override default configuration please prepeare a config.ini file with such content:

[etherscan]
host=<ip_address_to_listen_on> # defaults to 0.0.0.0
port=<port_to_listen_in> # defaults to 8080

and run etherscan_server with:

docker run -it -v <path_to_your_config>:/etc/etherscan/config.ini -p <port_to_listen_on>:<port_specified_in_config> etherscan_server

Using client

Copy etherscan_client/etherscan_client to a directory under your PATH and issue:

etherscan_client <block/balance> <blockNumber/address_of_specific_ethereum_address> --server <address_of_etherscan_server>:<port_of_etherscan_server>

This script will show you current balance of specified ethereum account or will print informations about specified block.
