Un script que llama a la API blockchain.info para encontrar el UTXO relacionado con una dirección
# get unspent outputs from blockchain API
import json
import requests
# example address
address = '1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6NJ4UrjX'
# The API URL is https://blockchain.info/unspent?active=<address>
# It returns a JSON object with a list "unspent_outputs", containing UTXO, like this:
#{ "unspent_outputs":[
# {
# "tx_hash":"ebadfaa92f1fd29e2fe296eda702c48bd11ffd52313e986e99ddad9084062167",

# "tx_output_n": 1,
# "script":"76a9148c7e252f8d64b0b6e313985915110fcfefcf4a2d88ac",
# "value": 8000000,
# "value_hex": "7a1200",
# "confirmations":28691

La API regresa No free outputs to spend
cuando no hay salida sin gastar, debe tener en cuenta ese caso. Puede hacer una simple verificación del código de estado (200: OK, 500: Error).
