I made my own super fast bitcoin miner, however I need help linking to blockchain.

Solved by 2FA,
Look at the source of existing miners to see how they fetch the info, but I will say that finding a novel way of solving a single block that you know the details of already does not make a fast miner, along with the fact that Python is incredibly slow compared to the C or C++ that all the existing miners are written in. If you're only doing it for fun and learning, then just use an API of some blockchain explorer service. I'm not familiar with Bitcoin ones but an ETH equivalent would be something like Etherscan.
