Can I read blockchain information from Electrum’s Python console?
I wanted to use Electrum’s Python console, but the documentation only provides a few examples.
Is there more complete documentation of Python commands inside Electrum?
The main thing I want to do at the moment is reading blockchain. These include:
- Current block height
(It’s in “tools” -> “network” in the GUI, but is there a CLI way to do this?) - Information about specific blocks such as POW and Merkle roots
(I have no idea if there is a way to get it inside the console)
(There is a file named~/.electrum/blockchain_headers
However, it is not human readable).
Is there any way to do that? (This is my main question)
(I’m currently using Electrum 3.3.8.)
