xpub not found - Githubissues

BizSafe commented 6 years ago

Hello again,

I am trying to check the address gap using the following code

curl "https://api.blockchain.info/v2/receive/checkgap?xpub=xpub6C****Gk2oKcw****VvqZX****2FVeg****S93UDyp5AX****TYThtN7****8pCe***Kp9t4r****hQu4Fyc8ep****xfFsu****F4****k&key=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

The result is "message" : "xpub not found"

The xpub submitted was returned from 'http://localhost:port/api/v2/create/?password='|| p_pwd || '&api_code=' || p_api_code || '&label=' || l_label;

Is there another method to check the gap? Or to get the xpub for the guid, payments using guid were working

Thank you

Sandy

Hi Sandy, that endpoint will only work if you've used the receive payments API to generate bitcoin addresses previously. Why do you need to look up the address gap? There may be an easier way of doing what you want to do with our API.

Hi,

I am writing a platform where members can buy and sell their services for bitcoin. The platform creates a few wallets for each member and the coin is moved from one to another at certain events. I generate a new address each time I pay coin into a wallet, not sure if that makes sense.

I was just trying to check if I had the 20 gap that I read somewhere could cause an issue as my payments stopped working, I discovered later that it was because so many transactions are stuck on the blockchain and as I had duplicated them not realising they were on the chain but not yet confirmed (still not since 25 Nov) it has caused a bit of a mess. (Wish there was a way to up fees of an existing transaction as I was hoping to go live next week but that wont happen if I don't get these transactions through as now I cant do anything with my main wallet there are too many unconfirmed transactions
