really had been wanting to add some data lookups to a project but mempool dot space API has a limit on how many requests you can make but notably they don’t publish what the limit is. this made me really nervous about relying in them.
the data backing for mempool is an open source project called electrs. it turns out im already running an electrs server due to my nix-bitcoin install.
so all i needed to do was figure out how to interface with it and viola, got the data i need all on my own ♥️
big winners here imo are nix-bitcoin and tailscale which makes building personal infrastructure across home servers super easy!! as well as bitcoin being open source. lets go decentralized future!!
