    If the electrum API provides what you need, you could use a Bitcoin Cash electrum server

    I think only ElectrsCash exists for more powerful querying of BCH, but there are also these options for BTC that could maybe theoretically be ported to BCH:
  • Is there an ElectrumX server for BCH?

    Thank you! I have not run a comparison, but I think it’s safe to assume that fulcrum is more performant in CPU usage, ElectrsCash more in disk usage. Both servers support the full electrum API, but have different API extensions that will be useful to developers. ElectrsCash is derived from electrs which is very popular in the BTC camp. Both server are written in efficient languages (ElectrsCash in Rust and fulcrum in C++), unlike ElectrumX which is written in Python.
