Is there any way to check for this data in blockchain?

I want to search this value: 554e6963444320 and want to return this transaction https://blockchain.info/tx/7e92e90f221ad28daf42b5b8bda4c8e244e37af48527fcd12b2518db5d3315bd

    This will require parsing the blockchain and looking for your data string to match transaction(s) which contain that data. Building an index of all op_return transactions could speed this greatly, but to my knowledge it is not yet available as a service or product. – Scrybe Mar 15 '15 at 16:58

This Blockchain explorer: https://blockchair.com/ allows you to search for embedded data in 19 different Blockchains. And on this URL https://bitcoinstrings.com/all I think you can get all embedded texts.

The Chain.com API offers functionality for returning OP_RETURN data by:

  1. Address
  2. TxID
  3. Block height

The JSON return data from the REST API has a text field which is meant to be the decoded hex data sent (ie 6a``hex data) but it's returned in the format \\x``hex data.

In Python you can simply do this:

import __future__
import requests; from binascii import unhexlify
rdata = requests.get("https://api.chain.com/v2/bitcoin/addresses/%s/op-returns?api-key-id=DEMO-4a5e1e4" % "1Bj5UVzWQ84iBCUiy5eQ1NEfWfJ4a3yKG1") # substitute URL here
assert rdata.status_code == 200
jdata = rdata.json()
hexdata = [unhexlify(str(t["text"]).encode("utf-8"))) for t in jdata
print(hexdata)

You can do it via https://www.smartbit.com.au/ that already parses all the data including op_returns
