Get UTXOs for an address, XPUB, or descriptor.

GET

https://rvn-blockbook.nownodes.io/api/v2/utxo/{descriptor}

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Returns unspent outputs for an address, XPUB, or descriptor on Bitcoin-type coins. By default both confirmed and unconfirmed UTXOs are returned; confirmed=true filters out unconfirmed entries. Results are sorted by block height with newest entries first.

Unconfirmed UTXOs omit height, have confirmations set to 0, and can include lockTime. XPUB and descriptor UTXOs also include address and derivation path when available. Coinbase UTXOs include coinbase=true only up to the coinbase confirmation limit, currently 100 blocks.

Load estimate: Variable; address lookups are usually medium, while XPUB/descriptor lookups grow with gap, derived addresses, and UTXO count.

Parameters

Address, XPUB, or supported descriptor. URL-encode descriptors.

When true, return only confirmed UTXOs.

gapinteger[0, 10000]query

XPUB/address derivation gap limit.
