Hi guys I want to create a simple linux cloud server which contains a database and some kind of script which updates the database when my BTC wallet receives a payment. It would be able to update the database with information such as the public key of the person who paid the BTC and the amount paid. Blockchain.info offers a service like this: https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive However the only libraries available are in PHP and Java both of which are foreign languages to me. I am a Python developer. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this or whether I am thinking about this completely wrong.

Thanks!

Hello jdeepee,

i strongly recommend you to NOT USE blockchain.info API for deposit/accounting stuff.
You should use a own local node (bitcoin daemon) on your project. You can of course use python
for communication with your wallet over rpc-calls.

If your project is experimental and no user funds are affected you can also use python to communicate
with the API of blockchain.info. This is not limited on php/Java.
For example in my project r-scan i use python and simply make http requests and then parse json data (API-response). see https://github.com/ca333/rng-scanner

If I want to send bitcoins to multiple wallets is it recommended I do this through the Bitcoin daemon as-well or can I just use blockchain.info's API?

You should really just do everything through bitcoin, it is pretty much the same functionality.
