Sorry to bother you, given the address of a smart contract, can I know the number of transactions it receives, how to use it, and what commands

Hey @taylorgag this is a pretty old repo and really should be archived as I do not intend to maintain it. But it should be able to give you the number of transactions it received. You can build the binary using the instructions in the README. But if you are using a version of go that is using go mod you will need to run the following commands in the project root:

$ go mod init
$ go mod tidy

Then you can build the binary:

$ go build -o ./bin/eth-scanner ./cmd/eth-scanner

You can then get some info on how to run the program using the --help and similarly with the start command:

$ ./bin/eth-scanner --help
NAME:
   eth-scanner - Scan blocks on the Ethereum block chain and filter transactions

USAGE:
    [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
   0.0.1

COMMANDS:
   start    Scan all blocks on the ethereum block chain for all transactions using a specific address
   help, h  Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --help, -h     show help
   --version, -v  print the version

start help:

$ ./bin/eth-scanner start --help
NAME:
    start - Scan all blocks on the ethereum block chain for all transactions using a specific address

USAGE:
    start [command options] [arguments...]

OPTIONS:
   --ethereum-host value   host endpoint of the ethereum node (default: "http://localhost:8545") [$ETHEREUM_HOST]
   --block-workers value   number of routines that will pull block information (default: 1) [$BLOCK_WORKERS]
   --start-block value     block number of the first block to begin scanning (default: 1) [$START_BLOCK]
   --end-block value       block number of the first block to begin scanning (default: 6000000) [$END_BLOCK]
   --filter-address value  filters all transactions to those only containing the specified address [$FILTER_ADDRESS]

Thanks for your replay. In fact, I want to know the number of transactions received by many addresses(like https://etherscan.io/address/0x69fac1dbf56d983c265528d594f48fdce59ed665) on https://etherscan.io/. Can I achieve this goal by using eth-scanner?
when I use the command $ ./bin/eth-scanner start --filter-address 0x69fac1dbf56d983c265528d594f48fdce59ed665, it runs very fast, but it doesn't output any results. I would be happy and honored if you could give me some advice.

Looks like there is a networking issue that is causing the error to be thrown. Also, you will want to use an Ethereum node address and not the etherscan.io/address endpoint. If you have your own eth node running point it to that, if not you can easily set up an account with infura and point it to your project's API.
