What are you looking for? where do you want to get that information from?vincenzopalazzo 2019-09-23T15:54:22.943

@vincenzopalazzo I think that I could get them from a library. How do mining programs get these information?Roofnos 2019-09-23T16:00:32.553

From the bitcoin RPC Frameworkvincenzopalazzo 2019-09-23T16:03:10.653

@vincenzopalazzo And can't I get the same from this framework in Python so I can print information about the block they're mining now?Roofnos 2019-09-23T16:13:09.520

To take the information of the bitcoin blockchain, you can use the bitcoin core RPC Framework, for use it, you must have all blockchain on your computer

  1. Download Bitcoin core
  2. aligns the bitcoin node
  3. Configure rpc framework
  4. Use the API to take the information, I prefer using this library with python, this is an example for using it

You can use this documentation for study API

also for a response to the last comment, you can use the API for call the Mining commands but is difficult understand your question "I can print information about the block they're mining now" because the mining is a war for the node and each node can have different information
