I know there are websites providing blockchain information, but I want to write some script to explore the blockchain on my own. How do I do it? Are there any document available online?

I wrote a guide about setting up bitcoin-abe a while back. Maybe you'll find it useful. Link

@NickODell The link you gave was on Ubuntu, does it work with Mac OS X? – h__ – 2013-04-09T01:04:50.073

I don't know. I don't have a mac to try it on. If you do go this path, please let me know so I can update my guide! – Nick ODell – 2013-04-09T01:13:39.437

Not much documentation, but you can look at how others are doing it by examining their code. Take a look at bitcoin-abe. It is pretty straightforward.
