Elixir package for consuming any [Insight](https://insight.is/)-powered Bitcoin explorer.
## Installation
1. Add insight to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

end
2. Ensure insight is started before your application:
def application do
[applications: [:insight]]
end
## Usage
### Using default BitPay's livenet explorer
defmodule Mymodule do
use Insight
def my_function do
# Getting unspent transaction outputs
bitcoin_address = "3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy"
utxos = get_utxos(bitcoin_address)
# Broadcasting a signed transaction
signed = "01000000017b1eabe0209b1fe794124575ef807057c77ada2138ae4fa8d6c4de0398a14f3f00000000494830450221008949f0cb400094ad2b5eb399d59d01c14d73d8fe6e96df1a7150deb388ab8935022079656090d7f6bac4c9a94e0aad311a4268e082a725f8aeae0573fb12ff866a5f01ffffffff01f0ca052a010000001976a914cbc20a7664f2f69e5355aa427045bc15e7c6c77288ac00000000"
tx = broadcast(signed)
end
end
