I'm a developer.

I've already added payments in Solana and ETH onto my website and now want to add ones in Monero.

So I'll generate a 100 wallets that will be assigned to each user. How will I checking their balances? Will it be possible at all, without my own node, or with a third-party API only? Or will I have to run a node?

The key is to be able to do it automatically, in a web app.

The Monero blockchain does not hold data in plaintext like other blockchains. You cannot just query the blockchain data through an API. You have to decrypt transactions with private view keys.

That doesn't mean that there's no way to retrieve an info view API.
