user84670: I'm trying to convert a Segwit YPUB address I got from a Ledger Wallet to a Legacy XPUB address in order to query the transactions from the wallet. I've yet to find a reliable API that supports YPUB and I'm using Blockchain.info to fetch the information for Bitcoin.
While I've tried multiple methods to convert a YPUB to XPUB (getting the same addresses with every method I've found - changing the header with the network specific magic key), I don't see the balance on the resulted XPUB address. It shows 0 balance.
Is it possible that a converted address would display the balance of the original address?
Thanks,
Rares

user38618: It's not possible access funds in SegWit addresses (actually UTXOs) as if they were in legacy addresses. A SegWit address and a legacy address with the same public key map to different addresses, hence they don't share the same funds.
