Using beem with HIVE
There are three ways to use beem with HIVE:
Set a hive node:
from beem import Steem
hive = Steem("https://api.hive.blog")
print(hive.is_hive)
True
If a hive node is currently set, can be checked with the is_hive property.
Set hive nodes with beempy
This beempy commend fetches all currently working HIVE nodes from the @fullnodeupdate metadata (nodes are checked every hour) and stores them in the beem config database.
beempy updatenodes --hive
In a python script, beem is using now only hive nodes.
from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
hive = Steem()
print(hive.is_hive)
print(hive.rpc.nodes)
acc = Account("holger80")
print(acc.steem.is_hive)
True
['https://api.hive.blog', 'http://anyx.io', 'https://api.hivekings.com', 'https://anyx.io']
True
Set hive nodes with nodelist
A list of hive nodes can also be obtained by the NodeList class:
from beem import Steem
from beem.nodelist import NodeList
nodelist = NodeList()
nodelist.update_nodes()
nodes = nodelist.get_nodes(hive=True)
hive = Steem(node=nodes)
print(hive.is_hive)
Let me know if you found bugs by using beem with HIVE.
