Thanks, I will dive right into it! I already set up a lightning node as well. It’s truly an amazing technology. 

`bitcoin-cli help `

^ this is your friend. Use it to explore the many features of bitcoin-core. 

Note: you'll need `txindex=1` listed in your `bitcoin.conf` file if you want to have a queryable index of all transactions available. 

bitcoin.stackexchange.com might be of interest to you, you'll likely find some relevant examples and explanations there.

As a suggestion- you should now try setting up a lightning node! That enables a lot of bitcoin functionality.

Do anyone have a guide on how to work with your own full node and do analysis? Like how to extract blocks, transactions etc.

Any great blogs containing examples etc?
