Rust Blockbook client

blockbook is a Rust client for the Blockbook block explorer.

It provides both REST and WebSocket clients to access Blockbook APIs in a type-safe manner.

Usage example

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let client = blockbook::Client::new("https://myblockbook.com".parse().unwrap());

    // query the Genesis block hash
    let genesis_hash = client
        .block_hash(blockbook::Height::from_consensus(0).unwrap())
        .await?;
    assert_eq!(
        genesis_hash.to_string(),
        "000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f"
    );

    // query the full block
    let genesis = client.block_by_hash(&genesis_hash).await?;
    assert_eq!(genesis.previous_block_hash, None);

    // inspect the first coinbase transaction
    let tx = genesis.txs.get(0).unwrap();
    assert!((tx.vout.get(0).unwrap().value.to_btc() - 50.0).abs() < f64::EPSILON);
}

See the crate documentation for more examples.
