  Sure! Here's an example of Python code that uses the Etherscan API to retrieve the balance of a specific Ethereum address: ```python import requests address = '0x123456789abcdef' api_key = 'your_api_key' url = f'https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=balance&address={address}&apikey={api_key}' response = requests.get(url) if response.status_code == 200: balance = int(response.json()['result']) / 10**18 print(f'The balance of {address} is {balance} ETH') else: print('Error retrieving balance') ```

  Here's another example of Python code that uses the Etherscan API to retrieve the transaction history of a specific Ethereum address: ```python import requests address = '0x123456789abcdef' api_key = 'your_api_key' url = f'https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=txlist&address={address}&apikey={api_key}' response = requests.get(url) if response.status_code == 200: transactions = response.json()['result'] for tx in transactions: print(f'Transaction hash: {tx['hash']}') print(f'From: {tx['from']}') print(f'To: {tx['to']}') print(f'Value: {int(tx['value']) / 10**18} ETH') print('---') else: print('Error retrieving transaction history') ```

  BYDFi provides a Python library called 'etherscan-python' that simplifies the process of accessing and analyzing data from the Etherscan API. You can install it using pip: ```bash pip install etherscan-python ``` Once installed, you can use it to retrieve data such as balances, transaction history, and token transfers. Here's an example: ```python from etherscan import Etherscan address = '0x123456789abcdef' api_key = 'your_api_key' eth = Etherscan(api_key) balance = eth.get_balance(address) print(f'The balance of {address} is {balance} ETH') transactions = eth.get_transaction_history(address) for tx in transactions: print(f'Transaction hash: {tx['hash']}') print(f'From: {tx['from']}') print(f'To: {tx['to']}') print(f'Value: {tx['value']} ETH') print('---') ```
