    Dear developer, I want to get the transaction information of the external wallet address, but did not see the relevant interface, is there any way?

    Can you explain what you mean by "external wallet address"? Do you want to get information about a transaction not relevant to your wallet (then use -txindex)?

    And I guess you question should be posted on bitcoin.stackexchange.com (or similar). This issue tracker is mainly for development issues.

    Get a bicoin address transaction information, It's not a local wallet.

    What exactly is a "bitcoin address transaction"? Do you mean all transactions of a specific Bitcoin address? This is not possible with Bitcoin Core. Bitcoin Core does not provide an by address index.

    However there are attempts to add this to bitcoin core:

    There are external tools to maintain an address index: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/indexd https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api

    I will add - insight-api actually depends on bitcoin with custom patches (the same patches that are in #10370 )
