Title: Can I create a website that can query a wallet name and display the contents?
Post by: wimaka on October 18, 2017, 08:46:32 pm

I'm trying to setup a cryptocurrency discussion forum and I'd like for users to be able to add their wallet name to their profile and display the amount of currency that they own in their profiles.

Is something like this even possible?

Yes, a public API node can give you the balances of all accounts.

Okay, great.  Is that something that the wallet holder needs to setup or is that automatically available?  is there any examples of how to do this?

I'm wondering if I could simply test out the bitshares API with POSTMAN or something just to get a feel for it...
