RE: Getting Started With Steem-Python : Upvote and Comment Bot Examples (Linux)

in #steemdev7 years ago

I've been having a terrible time trying to get a bot going. I have a string of code and have changed it so many times to try to fix the errors that come up I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I never knew what I was doing to begin with :)

Anyway, I was trying to create an upvote bot that anyone could use.
Now, I'd like to create a bot that will comment for me on intro posts. Any chance you could help me with this?

Hi sorry for the super late reply, I've been pretty busy lately with my new job so I haven't really had time to update or edit these examples and there's a pretty high chance that these won't work anymore.

Let me know if you managed to find what you were looking for. I'll be happy to make an updated version.

Thanks for still getting back to me. I haven't been able to get anything working. I have the code and I think it must be close. The only thing is; because there are so many other bots out there - it may not even be worth doing.

The code I have is for people to automatically upvote authors they like. Currently, they can do that on Steemfollower, Streemian, and other places.

I would like to create a bot that people can pay for upvotes though.
Also, it would be cool to have a comment bot.

Let me know what you think of all of this. If you have discord, you can contact me there as well.

Yes the purpose of my code samples are for people to learn and to try and apply whatever they've learned to projects they might be busy with. You'd be better of using streemian or any of the other trusted voting and commenting bots already available out there.

I'm unable to find any commenting bots that I can use.
Do you have any suggestions as to where I can get one?

Here is one I made a while ago which will stream new blockchain posts and checks if the posts contains the "introduceyourself" tag. If the post contains the tag the bot comments a welcoming message on the post. But this is a old piece of code I wrote so there's a chance that it might be outdated by now . Hope this can serve as a guideline for what you'd like to do.

Thanks, I'll look into it.
