steem_data

Wrapper for accessing steemdata.com in a ruby application. It uses MongoID and ActiveModel to leverage all of the tools provided by those libraries.

SteemData helps developers and researchers build better STEEM applications. We parse the STEEM blockchain for you, and provide the data as a fast and convenient MongoDB service.

Note: This wrapper gem is built by @inertia. SteemData is built by @furion. Any questions about using this gem should be directed to @inertia.

Add the gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'steem_data'

Then:

$ bundle install

Look for a specific post using author and permlink.

require 'steem_data'

SteemData.load

post = SteemData::Post.find_by(author: 'inertia', permlink: 'macintosh-plus')

puts post.to_json

Which returns:

{
   "_id":{
      "$oid":"58992d230fbc46e3066fa9b1"
   },
   "abs_rshares":0,
   "active":"2017-01-24T21:28:27.000Z",
   "active_votes":[

   ],
   "allow_curation_rewards":true,
   "allow_replies":true,
   "allow_votes":true,
   "author":"inertia",
   "author_reputation":"66832013171970",
   "author_rewards":41294,
   "body": ...
 }

You can find posts with a high number of active_votes.

post = SteemData::Post.where('active_votes.1700' => {'$exists' => true}).last

puts "https://steemit.com/#{post.parent_permlink}/@#{post.author}/#{post.permlink}"

Which returns:

https://steemit.com/votu/@sirlunchthehost/take-the-vote-negation-poll-now-brought-to-you-by-sirlunchthehost-aka-the-saru-pirate-king

Or do the same with net_votes.

post = SteemData::Post.where(:net_votes.gte => 1700).last

puts "https://steemit.com/#{post.parent_permlink}/@#{post.author}/#{post.permlink}"

Which returns:

https://steemit.com/votu/@sirlunchthehost/take-the-vote-negation-poll-now-brought-to-you-by-sirlunchthehost-aka-the-saru-pirate-king

You can count the number of posts created in the last 24 hours.

 > SteemData::Post.where(:created.gte => 24.hours.ago.utc).count
 => 1366

Or do the same for a particular topic.

 > SteemData::Post.where(parent_permlink: 'life', :created.gte => 24.hours.ago.utc).count
 => 86
