# How to obtain the content of the field "addr_tag_link" and "addr_tag" without using the api of blockchain.info?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-02-27)

This is an output item of JSON result obtained by the API of blockchain.info:

```
        {
         "addr_tag_link":"https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?action=profile;u=47767",
         "addr_tag":"DoubleIcaras",
         "spent":true,

      }

```

Is it possible to obtain the content of the field "addr\_tag\_link" and "addr\_tag" in java without using the API of blockchain.info (such as with bitcoinj)?

No, the `addr_tags` are specific to blockchain.info - they are not kept on the Bitcoin blockchain, but rather on blockchain.info's servers.
