Upper
reads every new comment made by authors in a list and searches for the flag(!command) who will trigger actions on the main post(e.g. upvote, comment, and resteem)
Repository: https://github.com/lpessin/upper
Introduction
A steemian friend asks me to help him with his project, a curation project with several curators reading and approving posts. He needs to automate tasks (upvote, comment, and resteem). As it may be useful to others I decided to open source and post it.
Upper is a simple python script following basic instructions from the steem-python official library, plus a few things I've added.
I'm posting as a blog contribution, and not development because this is more a 'learning-process/help-friend' thing than an actual project claiming this is 100% my creation, I just put some pieces together and tested my skills.
Next, you'll see how to install, the usage, and its features.
You will need
- Python 3.6+
- Steem-Python
- Regex
- Linux (Ubuntu)
Install
Always best to create a venv or use ide like pycharm
Installing steem-python and regex:
pip3 install regex
pip3 install steem
Clone repository:
git clone https://github.com/lpessin/upper.git
Setup & usage
Open curators file, and add accounts you wish to search for comments with the flag(!command):
lpessin
acc2
acc3
...
Now edit upper.py to set-up the worker account:
acc = 'your_account'
s = Steem(keys='your_posting_key')
w = 100.0 # set the vote weight you want
Choose your flag (!up as default):
# Set here your flag command without the '!'
flag = 'up'
Write the comment you want to post (markdown supported):
comment = str(f'Congrats, @{a_action}!\nYour post received an Upper from @{c_action}!')
And finally, run:
python3 upper.py
Now whenever a listed curator types '!up'(or the flag you chose) inside a comment, your account will upvote, comment and resteem the main post where the comment was made. Cool!
Outputs:
Highlights:
- flag(!command) is spotted at any part of the comment and alongside with any other words in the comment body
- A log file with date and time who keeps all past data (you can exit, run again and will never lose track)
- Handles multiples action threads in parallel with the stream (you won't miss a post)
- Will never perform the same actions on the same main post
I hope to keep improving the code and any contributions, suggestions and/or questions are welcome.
Thanks, goodbye!
