hello all,

first of all sorry for the silly request... I am trying to understand the outcome of blockexplores api

for example if I check the followign address: 1GB2CgZ9a4yXFaaN2YfmTKuhZbomkpUfbH https://blockexplorer.com/address/1GB2CgZ9a4yXFaaN2YfmTKuhZbomkpUfbH I get three transaction:

two deposit: 0.03086609 and 0.03602039

and one withdraw: 0.03602039

if instead I use the API, I get the overall block data https://blockexplorer.com/api/txs/?address=1GB2CgZ9a4yXFaaN2YfmTKuhZbomkpUfbH

I am unsure how to read the JSON I get back from the API... how do I know what is the incoming and outgunning transaction? how do I know what was paid in fees?

can anyone illuminate me Smiley  (below extract of JSON)
