  title: Blockstream Esplora HTTP Addresses Transactions API
  version: '1.0'
  description: Esplora is Blockstream's open-source Bitcoin block explorer and its HTTP REST API. It provides read access to blocks, transactions, addresses, the mempool, fee estimates, and (on Liquid/Elements networks) issued assets. The API is public and requires no authentication. The same API backs blockstream.info and its testnet, signet, and Liquid networks. Amounts are in satoshis; hashes and txids are hex-encoded.
