pip install -U beem

conda install beem
beem can be updated by:
conda update beem
New Features
public keys can be set in beempy newaccount for account creation
beempy newaccount --owner OWNER_PUB --active ACTIVE_PUB --memo MEMO_PUB --posting POSTING_PUB -a CREATOR_ACCOUNT NEW_ACCOUNT
When the owner, active, memo and posting parameter are used and 4 public keys are set, a new account is created with these 4 keys. Public/private keys can be created by beempy keygen
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Key | Value |
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Brain Key | CENTO NOVENA CHIAUS ICEBERG DRAPE ORDERER YUSDRUM APHYLLY TORNUS YAWROOT OBEAH RIT CATELLA SILESIA HUBBA CULTCH |
| Private Key | 5JQZAHjvLf2Tncs6LU1P1nfwpvCaJWe8LKjbpworo5EUjdWL42G |
| Public Key | STM7Bq295nbY3sm3RWoSRmQv2pFJdiNcxZZiazKmJw2epY25946D1 |
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When now STM7Bq295nbY3sm3RWoSRmQv2pFJdiNcxZZiazKmJw2epY25946D1 is set as one of the four public keys, the new account will have 5JQZAHjvLf2Tncs6LU1P1nfwpvCaJWe8LKjbpworo5EUjdWL42G as one of the four private keys.
By this, it is possible to create 4 public/private keys and give only the public keys to someone else, who can then claim a new account using these 4 public keys.
Nodelist - api.steemit.com is handled as limited node
The get_nodes function has now an exclude_limited parameter. When set to True, https://api.steemit.com is excluded. The reason for doing this, is that https://api.steemit.com is not a feature-complete full node anymore. Several API calls do not work anymore.
from beem.nodelist import NodeList
nodelist = NodeList()
nodelist.update_nodes()
print(nodelist.get_nodes(exclude_limited=True))
returns nodes without api.steemit.com:
['https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org', 'https://rpc.steemviz.com', 'https://anyx.io', 'https://rpc.usesteem.com', 'https://appbasetest.timcliff.com', 'https://steemd.privex.io', 'https://api.steem.house']
The https://rpc.usesteem.com was added to the nodelist.
Bug fixes
Issue #146 was caused by moving several API calls to hivemind. By this, the return structure of some calls were changed. The issue was
fixed by improving
get_blog, get_followers and get_following so that they works with api.steemit.com.
It was sufficient in this case to check of the returned object is a dict or a list.
When the returned object is a dict, it is converted into a list by returning the content in the blog field:
if isinstance(ret, dict) and "blog" in ret:
ret = ret["blog"]
After doing this, both lists are similar and can be processed and returned.
Example call:
from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
stm = Steem(node="https://api.steemit.com")
acc = Account("holger80", steem_instance=stm)
print("%d followers, %d following" % (len(acc.get_followers()), len(acc.get_following())))
print("Last blog: %s" % (acc.get_blog(limit=1)[0]["title"]))
returns
1269 followers, 342 following
Last blog: steemrewarding.com - curation performance is shown and other improvements
Results for other nodes:
from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
stm = Steem(node="https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org")
acc = Account("holger80", steem_instance=stm)
print("%d followers, %d following" % (len(acc.get_followers()), len(acc.get_following())))
print("Last blog: %s" % (acc.get_blog(limit=1)[0]["title"]))
returns
1272 followers, 342 following
Last blog: steemrewarding.com - curation performance is shown and other improvements
Unit tests are fixed
In all unit tests, the api.steemit.com node is excluded. This fixes all unit tests.
