As I was doing my taxes last week I wanted to eliminate as much manual work as possible, so with the help of AI I attempted to develop a very simple application that would scan my account for all relevant L1 transactions of Hive throughout the year and output them in a tidy CSV. And what do you know, after only an hour or so of prompting and testing, I had a working program.
The application is open source and available on my github account:
How it works (copy/paste from the Readme)
Hive Tax CSV is a simple Python application that will fetch tax relevant L1 transactions for a specific Hive account within a given time period. The application will scan your Hive account between the dates you set and output a .csv file that can be further processed and then imported into the tax software of your choice.
The application will fetch the following transactions:
- Claimed rewards (HP)
- Claimed rewards (HBD)
- HIVE/HBD Conversions
- HIVE/HBD Internal Market Trades
How to use
- Download and edit the file fetchTransactions.py and input your username and the desired time period.
account_name = "your-account-name" # Replace with your Hive account name
start_date = datetime.strptime("2024-01-01", "%Y-%m-%d")
end_date = datetime.strptime("2024-4-11", "%Y-%m-%d")
- Run the script. It will take a few seconds to a few minutes to complete, depending on the amount of transactions you've done in the selected time period. When the script is done it will output a CSV file to the same directory as where you placed/ran the script.
If you don't know how to run a Python script, don't worry it's super easy. Ask ask any LLM (for instance ChatGPT) and you'll have it set up in no time
Here's an example output

That is nice. Exactly what I was searching for since 2 years. Would be great if it could as well read out all the L2 transactions on hive-engine. But this is a great start.
Glad to hear it and appreciate the feedback! I'm planning to do a similar one for L2-transactions. It shouldn't be too difficult, just need time to sit down with it
very nice will share this to some friends that were looking for a tool like this
Awesome :) Thanks for sharing
no problem its useful people need it lol
