Why does unspent address index differ between APIs?

Question

I've been using Blocktrail's API:

to get data for the following unspent address on the testnet:

2N6qMqR9D4BTkD6fS1h6Sq3kRV2FeB1L14j.

Blocktrail's API returns the index as 4, whereas blockexplorer's:

and smartbit's APIs:

both return an index of 0. Am I missing something here?

2

both return an index of 0.

0 is the correct answer here.

Not sure.

I can't reproduce your problem. I'm querying blocktrail like this:

curl https://api.blocktrail.com/v1/tbtc/address/2N6qMqR9D4BTkD6fS1h6Sq3kRV2FeB1L14j/transactions?api_key=MY_APIKEY

and that returns all of the transactions for the address, none of which have an index of 4.

Can you post the line of code that calls their API?

Thanks for taking the time to look into this! It turns out that I was querying for address instead of transaction (js): `blocktrailClient.address((2N6qMqR9D4BTkD6fS1h6Sq3kRV2FeB1L14j), (err, address) => {console.log(address)})` – timothyylim Oct 13 '17 at 10:34
