Hello fellow devs, let me introduce Microsoft .NET class library for steemd's RPC endpoint : Steem.NET
Not everybody is familiar with Python or JavaScript. Some Microsoft Visual Studio developers might get frustrated avaing to move away from their favorite programming language.
That's why I created an easy to use .NET class exposing nearly all steemd API, giving you the power to play with any RPC endpoint. The library is really easy to use, check the example below.
I will maintain and improve the library as I am using it.
If you have any comment, request or want to add your own touch to the project, feel free to contact me or join steem.net group on steemitchat.
Here a small code example :
Imports Newtonsoft.Json
Module Test
Public Sub Main()
Using oSteem As New CSteemAPI
Debug.Print(oSteem.get_config.ToString)
Debug.Print(oSteem.get_account_count.ToString)
Dim arrAcct As New ArrayList
arrAcct.Add("arcange")
For Each oAccount In oSteem.get_accounts(arrAcct)
Debug.Print(oAccount.ToString)
Next
Dim oBlock As Linq.JObject
Dim oTrans As Linq.JObject
Dim lLastBlockID As Long = oSteem.get_dynamic_global_properties().Item("last_irreversible_block_num")
For lBlockID As Long = 4000000 To lLastBlockID
oBlock = oSteem.get_block(lBlockID)
If Not oBlock.Item("transactions") Is Nothing Then
Debug.Print(String.Format("Block {0} {1} contains {2} transactions",
oBlock.Item("block_num"),
oBlock.Item("timestamp").ToObject(Of DateTime),
oBlock.Item("transactions").Count))
For Each oTrans In oBlock.Item("transactions")
Debug.Print(String.Format("Transaction is {0} operations",
oTrans.Item("operations").Item(0).Item(0)))
Next
End If
Next
End Using
End Sub
End Module
this code is downloadable from the repository
Full source code can be found on here and is currently available for VB.NET. I will port it to C# soon.
Been looking for a .NET Steemit library, I'll have to check this out later!
Cool. Any feedback is welcome :)
Thank you for this API, it's going to be extra useful to Future Media Vision.
Is there a post on which parts of the API you actually put in C# or did you integrate the whole API?
I implemented all the API that allows you to interact with the blockchain.
I have been lazier with the APIs that allow you to retrieve filtered data because I find it easier to use SteemSQL.
These not implemented APIs can be found here. It should not be difficult to implement them. Feel free to make a PR.
Those that you didn't implement seems better suited to be dealt with SteemSQL than with a direct query to a node, it might be much faster/cost-effective way to handle this than calling the nodes of the network.
Again, thanks for all the work you've done!
You're welcome @djennyfloro
BTW, feel free to support my work and vote for me as a witness.
You've long been on my Witness Voted List. Ever since back then I went to the Steem Chat, and you were the one who answered my newb questions lol. I was only worth 10 SP back then, but as someone who knew about the importance of witness in DPOS. I dutifully began to pick my witnesses. I guessed that someone who would answer the most basic questions of a steemian would do a good witness ^^".
Still, I clicked on your link to make sure... It's been a long while I haven't gone to my list and see who's in there.
