How to retrieve all transactions from a public address?

0

I run a Bitcoin node with txindex=1 so I can retrieve any transaction from the txId. My question: if I have any public address, how can I retrieve all transactions involving this address (inputs and outputs) with the Bitcoin Core commands ?

You can't. Bitcoin Core does not index transaction based on address.

If you want to do this, you'll either need an indexing tool/service, or implement the P2P protocol yourself to be notified of all transactions.
