<p>Time to answer my own question. I found <a href="https://www.biteasy.com" rel="nofollow">biteasy</a>, a <a href="https://blockchain.info/" rel="nofollow">blockchain.info</a> type tool, which can also query the testnet and has an API.</p>

<pre><code>https://api.biteasy.com/testnet/v1/transactions?address=xxx
</code></pre>

<p>Retruns a list with all transactions linked to that address. I tried it for a multisig one and it shows <code>BUILDING</code> which makes sense I guess.</p>

<p>It seems that you figured it out yourself so I just want to add that we are going to add multisig support for mainnet as well in a few days and you will be able to use that as well.</p>

<p>BUILDING means that the transaction has been included in a block and it's confidence is "building". There is also a field <strong>confirmations</strong> which you can use as well.</p>

<p>The multisig functionality is pretty new to the site and that's why we haven't documented it yet. It will be done asap.</p>

Thank you. No idea why I hadn't found your site before but it's a great help! Multisig support would be great.

<p>Suppose Alice sent some coins to a multisig address. Even if that address is assigned to my wallet I will not see the transaction as it doesn't really belong to me. That's fine, Bitcoin-Qt has no way to show "money in your account but locked by multisig" GUI.</p>

<p>Now, I need the txid in order to sign it (via the API) but how do I find that txid when I am a third party (like an escrow for example) and don't have a trace of the transaction via my wallet like Alice would?</p>

<p>I guess I could monitor the blockchain but that sounds foolish, there has to be a better way.</p>

<p>So: given the multisig address xxx give me all transactions registered for that address.</p>

Suppose Alice sent some coins to a multisig address. Even if that address is assigned to my wallet I will not see the transaction as it doesn't really belong to me. That's fine, Bitcoin-Qt has no way to show "money in your account but locked by multisig" GUI.

Now, I need the txid in order to sign it (via the API) but how do I find that txid when I am a third party (like an escrow for example) and don't have a trace of the transaction via my wallet like Alice would?

I guess I could monitor the blockchain but that sounds foolish, there has to be a better way.

So: given the multisig address xxx give me all transactions registered for that address.

Time to answer my own question. I found biteasy, a blockchain.info type tool, which can also query the testnet and has an API.

Retruns a list with all transactions linked to that address. I tried it for a multisig one and it shows BUILDING which makes sense I guess.
