<p>i'm new to bitcoin and was wondering, does anyone know how to get unconfirmed transactions with python? I've tried running my own node but my current hardware won't allow it. Is there a way to query the main-net to perhaps get the latest unconfirmed transactions, maybe with a library?</p>
<p>kind of like how it's done on blockchain.info
Thanks</p>

Hello fboi1, are you sure your hardware won't allow you to run a node? Bitcoin Core can run acceptably on a system with as little as 1 GB or even 512 MB of RAM, a weak CPU (as long as you're fine with waiting several days to sync the blockchain) and a few GB's of disk space (if you're running a pruned node).

Hi, yeah I think my hard drive is the problem. It usually says it will take 2 years to sync. Which is unfeasible... If you'd know of a solution other than bitcoin core it would be really helpful.
