How to claim(redeem) your rewards(Curation and Author rewards) automatically (Multiple accounts supported) by @chinadaily

About REDEEM REWARDS

Some people may notice that there's one new option in the wallet: REDEEM REWARDS (TRANSFER TO BALANCE) since the 0.18 HF.

Which means that we need to claim our rewards (curation rewards and author rewards) manually time to time, otherwise the rewards will be kept separate from balance.

This is a very annoying thing for OCD patients (such as me).
So I tried to use the program to process it automatically, finally I realized this goal.
Now, let me share it with you.

Install Python STEEM library

First, install the official STEEM library for Python
pip install -U steem
(Note: steem-python requires Python 3.5 or higher)

Find & Import posting private key

1. Find out the posting (private) key for your steemit account
   You can get it at steemit.com Wallet-> Permissions->POSTING after login.
   (Click the SHOW PRIVATE KEY button to show private key)

2. Add the private key to the local wallet :
   Run following command in terminal
   steempy addkey --unsafe-import-key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   ( Note: replace the xxxxxx with your posting private key )

3. Find & Import posting private key for other users
   If you want to claim rewards for multiple accounts, you need to Find & Import posting private key for each account.
   Just repeat the Step 1 & Step 2 to do it.

The script

Here is the simple script to claim(redeem) your rewards.
You can save it as claim_rewards.py
Add execution permissions for it.
chmod u+x claim_rewards.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import datetime
from steem import Steem

node = 'https://steemd.steemit.com'
password = 'yourwalletpasswd'
userlist = {'chinadaily', 'otheruser1', 'otheruser2', 'otheruser3'}

def reclaim(steem, user):
        try:
                user_info = steem.get_account(user)

                reward_sbd = float(user_info['reward_sbd_balance'].split(' ')[0])
                reward_steem= float(user_info['reward_steem_balance'].split(' ')[0])
                reward_vesting = float(user_info['reward_vesting_balance'].split(' ')[0])
                reward_sp = float(user_info['reward_vesting_steem'].split(' ')[0])

                if reward_sbd > 0 or reward_steem > 0 or reward_vesting > 0:
                        steem.claim_reward_balance(account = user)
                        print("{user} Claim rewards: {0} STEEM  {1} SBD {2} STEEM POWER".format(reward_steem, reward_sbd, reward_sp, user = user))

                else:
                        print("No rewards need to be claim")
        except:
                print("Error occured!")

def main(argv=None):
        steem=Steem(node = node)
        steem.wallet.unlock(pwd = password)
        print(datetime.datetime.now())
        for user in userlist:
                reclaim(steem, user)

if __name__ == "__main__":
        sys.exit(main())

Claim(redeem) your rewards by command

After config the right wallet password and the user list, Now you can claim(redeem) your rewards by run command manually.

In terminal, run ./claim_rewards.py
Here are the sample results I got

2017-05-12 19:07:30.634529
user1 Claim rewards: 0.0 STEEM 0.0 SBD 0.001 STEEM POWER
user2 Claim rewards: 0.0 STEEM 0.0 SBD 0.024 STEEM POWER
user3 Claim rewards: 0.0 STEEM 0.0 SBD 0.016 STEEM POWER
chinadaily Claim rewards: 0.0 STEEM 0.0 SBD 0.016 STEEM POWER

Run script automatically

To claim(redeem) your rewards automatically is very easy.
Add the script to cron, and it will be executed at your settings interval.
For example:
crontab -e

Add the following line and save:
0 0 * * * /path/claim_rewards.py >>log.txt 2>&1

Then the script will be executed at 00:00 every day.
You can find more details about crontab by man crontab

That's all, Thank you.

By setting the environment variable UNLOCK with your python-steem wallet password, you can avoid unlocking logic or pw handling in your code.

This is great. Unfortunately, I know nothing about python all the codes is talking about. Sorry I'm ignorant.

[ayishagisel]

Can you add as many times as you like or would that be pointless?

[chinadaily]

一起学习。

I love Python my current fav comp language easy to learn the basics too. Might even do a free course on it .

[ryanprentiss]

Was wondering about this, and bingo... it's answered. Thanks.

[enki74]

any ideas? I get this error when installing steem

scrypt-1.2.0/libcperciva/crypto/crypto_aes.c:6:25: fatal error: openssl/aes.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

[neochen]

you need to install 'libssl-dev'

那个是机器人自动回帖的。
不过确实写的不错。

[chinadaily]

谢谢大神点评：）

其实一直没搞懂为啥还要claim 一下
系统自动发放多好啊：）
但是既然研究不懂，就不深入研究了，自己自动发放
省得看着蓝字闹心
