I would really appreciate your expert’s guidance on a little project I would like to get going. The idea would be to be able to (1) calculate on-chain metrics such as Realized Price for Bitcoin, and (2) publish them on a dashboard. As such, the first step would be to to be able to fetch data on blockchain either live (at the end of each blocks) or at a fixed frequency (every four hours), as well as historically.
I think I am looking for guidance on either I will need Bitcoin Core or if I can piggyback on a block explorer? Or if need to have my code run on a server for it to fetch data live or local machine is enough? I am completely novice to it but I do know some Python (and VBA if you ask!), but keen to learn C+, or whatever language is needed.
Appreciate your advice a lot!
