## Installation
```
$ npm install -g blocke
```
<br />
## Usage
See `blocke help` and `blocke help <command>` (or the shorter `blocke <command>`) to view more information and instructions, as well as examples:
```
$ blocke help
$ blocke help btc
$ blocke btc
```
<br />
Run `blocke <command> <value>` to automatically search for the right type of `<value>`:
```
$ blocke btc 1JCe8z4jJVNXSjohjM4i9Hh813dLCNx2Sy
$ blocke ltc LdP8Qox1VAhCzLJNqrr74YovaWYyNBUWvL
$ blocke xmr a886ef5149902d8342475fee9bb296341b891ac67c4842f47a833f23c00ed721
```
<br />
Run `blocke <command> <option> <value>` to explicitly specify the type of value to retrieve:
```
$ blocke btc -a 1JCe8z4jJVNXSjohjM4i9Hh813dLCNx2Sy
$ blocke btc --account 1JCe8z4jJVNXSjohjM4i9Hh813dLCNx2Sy
$ blocke ltc -t bc6a355ec34194e43a590e86386a771af15c1eb88cc5ce614920a76e36388fe1
$ blocke ltc --transaction bc6a355ec34194e43a590e86386a771af15c1eb88cc5ce614920a76e36388fe1
$ blocke xmr -b a886ef5149902d8342475fee9bb296341b891ac67c4842f47a833f23c00ed721
$ blocke xmr --block a886ef5149902d8342475fee9bb296341b891ac67c4842f47a833f23c00ed721
```
<br />
Run `blocke <command> -n` to view network information:
```
$ blocke eth -n
$ blocke eth --network
```
<br />
Multiple option values can be specified by separating them with a single space:
```
$ blocke doge -a DFQc4NVAK7GvFQsHNciE8rcBw6t5ZQ3gdC A2ZA6JHq69WhKB3QxeUHDPokQT2iubUXLB -b 1687655 c151a40f121a4f0ee0078e0268563c8299ad12652f939d9c6880aab9a93c1969 -t 9f2ea5f34d3544ba9abad98251914e9408ba29272c35b6eaaa3abd2c00785a08 6363b3250152e02d80a4ab8faa7b7bae3f731b63417df782ac07dcdf9df0dde1
$ blocke sc -b 115300 102955 0000000000000028ecc091235afb82bd9aca66ebf175137336191ec1d28be993

$ blocke zec -n -b 150000 -a t3K4aLYagSSBySdrfAGGeUd5H9z5Qvz88t2

Many of the services used limit the number of requests allowed in a certain time period. While blocke will never throttle requests, be careful not to request too many values too quickly so as not to get temporarily IP banned.
