<p>Find the 'Import/Export' tab and you can find what you're looking for there.</p>

<p>Once you find your addresses, click "More options" and then click the private key button. I believe there was also a script somewhere but that's... gone? </p>

<p>Once done, go to your bitcoin-cli and use the <code>import</code> function like mentioned above </p>

Thanks! I did this, but it bound my private key to a different address to the one given on blockchain info. I need that address for customers to interact with my webapp

<p>I manage several accounts which I created via Blockchain.info for my webapp. I'm migrating to bitcoin-cli instead of using their API due to the high amount of calls I have to make.</p>

<p>I'm a bitcoin-cli noob. I have been able to send raw transactions in hex, but I cannot find how to import an existing account to my bitcoin-cli install. Is it possible to do this?</p>

<p>The ultimate goal is to get balance and received transactions of all addresses I have on Blockchain info via bitcoin-cli.</p>

<p>Is this at all doable?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Alberto</p>

I manage several accounts which I created via Blockchain.info for my webapp. I'm migrating to bitcoin-cli instead of using their API due to the high amount of calls I have to make.

I'm a bitcoin-cli noob. I have been able to send raw transactions in hex, but I cannot find how to import an existing account to my bitcoin-cli install. Is it possible to do this?

The ultimate goal is to get balance and received transactions of all addresses I have on Blockchain info via bitcoin-cli.

Is this at all doable?
