Description

I've noticed that the `scripthash:hash` expected in Esplora differs from the one in Electrum, specifically in terms of byte order reversal. This can create confusion for developers who are familiar with Electrum.

I think it would be helpful to highlight this difference in the Esplora documentation. A brief note or example to clarify this discrepancy could assist in avoiding potential confusion.

Research direction

Start by locating the Esplora documentation for the scripthash/:hash endpoint and review how the parameter is currently described. Compare that wording with Electrum's byte-order convention; done means the documentation includes a brief note or example that clearly explains the difference.
