update for beem: add community support

Repository

https://github.com/holgern/beem

beem is a python library and command line tool for HIVE. The current version is 0.24.5.

There is also a discord channel for beem: https://discord.gg/4HM592V

The newest beem version can be installed by:

pip install -U beem

Check that you are using hive nodes. The following command

beempy updatenodes --hive

updates the nodelist and uses only hive nodes. After setting hive as default_chain, beempy updatenodes can be used.

The list of nodes can be checked with

beempy config

and

beempy currentnode

shows the currently connected node.

Changelog for versions 0.24.5

• replace percent_hive_dollars by percent_hbd (to make beem HF24 ready)
• Remove whaleshares related code
• Fix adding of a wif in beempy
• Remove SteemConnect
• Fix set token in HiveSigner
• Add Blurt
• Add Community for community reladed requests and broadcasts
• Improve community lookup for beempy createpost
• Improved beempy history command output
• Improved beempy stream

Community support

I added community support to beem. The following example shows the content of a community dict:

from beem.community import Community
from prettytable import PrettyTable
community = Community("hive-139531")
t = PrettyTable(["key", "value"])
t.align = "l"
t._max_width = {"value" : 60}
for key in community.json():
    t.add_row([key, community.json()[key]])
print(t)

returns

The following API functions have been implemented:

roles = community.get_community_roles()
print("len %d - first entry: %s" % (len(roles), str(roles[0])))
subscribers = community.get_subscribers()
print("len %d - first entry: %s" % (len(subscribers), str(subscribers[0])))
last_activity = community.get_activities(limit=100, last_id=None)
print("len %d - first entry: %s" % (len(last_activity), str(last_activity[0])))
latest_post = community.get_ranked_posts(limit=25)
print("len %d - first entry: %s" % (len(latest_post), str(latest_post[0])[:120]))

returns:

len 50 - first entry: ['hive-139531', 'owner', '']
len 250 - first entry: ['joshman', 'guest', None, '2020-07-14 16:16:15']
len 100 - first entry: {'id': 78159733, 'type': 'subscribe', 'score': 35, 'date': '2020-07-14T16:16:15', 'msg': '@joshman subscribed to HiveDevs', 'url': 'trending/hive-139531'}
len 25 - first entry: {'post_id': 83702748, 'author': 'netuoso', 'permlink': 'creation-of-steemdevs-community-information-about-steemdevs', 'c

get_subscribers() returns only 250 subscribers and it is currently not possible to receive all subscribers (hive-139531 has 1005 subscribers in total). A way to receive all subscribers could be parsing get_activities, as there is an entry for each new subscriber.

Communities

Communities returns a list of registred communities. The communities inside the list can be printed by printAsTable() and it is possible to search the community title for a match:

from beem.community import Communities
communities = Communities(limit=100)
communities.search_title("dev").printAsTable()

returns

+-----+-------------+----------+------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| Nr. | Name        | Title    | lang | subscribers | sum_pending | num_pending | num_authors |
+-----+-------------+----------+------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 1   | hive-139531 | HiveDevs | en   | 1000        | 945         | 236         | 113         |
+-----+-------------+----------+------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+

The limit of returned communities can be increased by using the limit parameter:

from beem.community import Communities
communities = Communities(limit=1000)
communities.search_title("dev").printAsTable()

returns

+-----+-------------+---------------+------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| Nr. | Name        | Title         | lang | subscribers | sum_pending | num_pending | num_authors |
+-----+-------------+---------------+------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+

+-----+-------------+---------------+------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+

Searching a community by its title was also added to beempy createpost

Currently a title is searched in the top 1000.

Broadcasting community related ops

The following shows all operation that can be broadcasted:

from beem.community import Community
community = Community("hive-111111")
community.set_role("account_a", "mod", "new mod")
community.set_user_title("account_b", "investor")
community.mute_post("author_a", "permlink_a", "spam", "mod_a")
community.unmute_post("author_a", "permlink_a", "no spam", "mod_a")
community.update_props("My Community", "Great community", False, "About me", "Not about me", "admin_a")
community.subscribe("user_c")
community.unsubscribe("user_c")
community.pin_post("author_a", "permlink_a", "mod_a")
community.unpin_post("author_a", "permlink_a", "mod_a")
community.flag_post("author_a", "permlink_a", "please check", "user_a")

HiveSigner / steemconnect

I removed the SteemConnect class from beem, as steemconnect.com is no longer working.

I fixed the token parameter in HiveSigner:

from beem.HiveSigner import HiveSigner
hs = HiveSigner(token=["32..."])
print(hs.me())

where 32... is a valid HiveSinger token.

Improved beempy stream

beempy stream -t -f

retuns now a table for each block:

+----------+---------+-------------+------------------------------------------------------+

where custom_json, vote, transfer and transfer_to_vesting have a shortened output.

beempy stream -f

streams the output in raw format.

Blurt

As some beem users were interested in using beem on blurt, I added a Blurt class to beem. This adds support for blurt to beempy.
The following commands will change the nodes, and check if they are set

beempy updatenodes --blurt
beempy config

It is then possible to check the amount of powered up BLURT and to power it down by

beempy power holger80
beempy powerdown -a holger80 33244

The powerdown command will ask for your active keys.

You can check the activity on blurt by

beempy stream -t

you need to be patient, as there is currently not much activity...:

{'block_num': 306762,
 'op': ['withdraw_vesting',
        {'account': 'oth1',
         'vesting_shares': {'amount': '36699505048',
                            'nai': '@@000000037',
 'timestamp': '2020-07-14T21:53:57',
 'trx_num': 0}
{'block_num': 306765,
 'op': ['vote',
        {'author': 'discernente',
         'permlink': '0alhcnfp0r7dh2t',
         'voter': 'discernente',
         'weight': 10000}],
 'timestamp': '2020-07-14T21:54:06',
 'trx_num': 0}

You can switch back to hive with:

beempy updatenodes --hive

The Blurt class can be used to simplify the access to the Blurt blockchain:

from beem import Blurt
blurt = Blurt(node= ["https://rpc.blurt.world", "https://blurt-rpc.steem.buzz"])
print(blurt)

returns

<Blurt node=https://rpc.blurt.world, nobroadcast=False>
