Glad you found that useful. I now see your open issue on Blockchair GH... good news is that it seems to be a recognised bug and you'll have made the fix possible! I haven't had the opportunity to truly use all the explorers out there but Blockchair's pretty much the best deal to me for native SW support... which makes me wonder if those others I mentioned would have caught up.

Lightning analysis will be even more interesting I think, though there's already some explorers like 1ML and LightBlock - admittedly with very basic analytics atm, don't seem to see groupings by input available.

Like I said, I ended up using chain.so, their API is very simple but it includes the raw transaction for both segwit and non-segwit and that's really all I need, fancy dancy parsing with no consistent functionality wasn't really going to work out for me.

I should totally look into the lightning network soon too :p haven't had the time to see all the node setups and functionality available through it.


https://www.walletexplorer.com/ has a subset of these features... It's not as extensive as blockseer, but for me, it usually does the trick.
I've found matbea (https://matbea.net/) quite useful in the past as well, but it seems that the site is slighly broken.

It used to track adresses like Walletexplorer, but also included exchanges such as coinbase, bitflyer.jp,  et al.

(I'm not entirely sure if it still does so correctly.)

EDIT, just tried it: Seems like it still indexes coinbase adresses. Not sure how accurate it all is though.

Functional and simple, looks like they even have comments for each holder too.

Found it very funny that their api docs is strictly in russian Cheesy
