Steemit AutoIT UDF / API Update v 0.8

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

Autoit Steem
Hello dear Steemian


This project provides a usable library/api to make calls to the steem api for the autoit language. Basically it aims to provide all the functionality that one has with steem.js in autoit as well. This would be of great help for everybody who isn't familiar with javascript and/or python and prefers the autoit language for his projects.

This update was a complete rewrite, so other connections (websocket) are supported as well.
This was achieved by using dll-calls to be closer to the system.

Also there are 2 new methods:

_Steem_Start_Node()
_Steem_Close_Node()
These are used to hold the connection open instead of opening/closing the connection with every call. Therefore improving performance drastically while using this api.



I would like to introduce you to my revised version of the Steem UDF for autoit.

I have completely reprogrammed the UDF / API from scratch

My First Udf / Api Post you can finde here:
Autoit v3 Steem UDF

  • This version is compatible with RPC and Websocket.
  • Receive data faster
  • More stable connection
  • Support SSL


    In order to achieve this, I now keep the connection open, but now there are the two functions
_Steem_Start_Node($node)

This Function Start the Connection to a Steem Node

At Node you insert the select Node at Example:

_Steem_Start_Node("api.steemit.com")

or

_Steem_Start_Node("gtg.steem.house:8090")
_Steem_Close_Node()

This Function Close the Connection to the Node

_Steem_Get_Account_Votes($name, $last = 0)

$name = the Accountname without @

$last = The last votes you want to read ( 0 = All)

(if you have 0 at big accounts like utopian-io need the function lot of time)

For the other functions, the operation is the same as for the Steem Api in Python or Java

and Now an Example Setup for the Account Votes and for Content Request:

#include <Steem Websocket.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
_Steem_Start_Node("api.steemit.com")
;<==========================================
; Read The Content From the Post
$sPost = _Steem_Get_Content("utopian-io", "utopian-is-expanding-collaboration-with-browserstack-crowdin-disasterhack-and-more")
;<==========================================
;<==========================================
; Display The Content in a 2D Array
_ArrayDisplay($sPost,"Content Display")
;<==========================================

;<==========================================
; Read The Last 500 Votes From utopian-io
$sVotes = _Steem_Get_Account_Votes("utopian-io", 500)
;<==========================================
;<==========================================
; Display The Votes in a 2D Array
_ArrayDisplay($sVotes,"Votes Display")
;<==========================================

_Steem_Close_Node()

Content
Votes

You can download the Udf and the Example here:

No README, and a very poor explanation on what you are doing here. Please give more details on what you want to achieve and how it will help.
Also, link your username with your Github s, and explain why you made a second project rather than improving the existing one.

Hello @stoodkev,

I've talked with killerfreak about this.

This project provides a usable library/api to make calls to the steem api for the autoit language.
Basically it aims to provide all the functionality that one has with steem.js in autoit as well.
This would be of great help for everybody who isn't familiar with javascript and/or python and prefers the autoit language for his projects.

It seems like this update was a complete rewrite, so other connections (websocket) are supported as well.
This was achieved by using dll-calls to be closer to the system.

Also there are 2 new methods:

  • _Steem_Start_Node()
  • _Steem_Close_Node()

These are used to hold the connection open instead of opening/closing the connection with every call. Therefore improving performance drastically while using this api.

Hope this made things clearer, if you have any further questions feel free to contact me or killerfreak on discord :) (I'm in the utopian discord if you have trouble finding me).

PS: He also added the README and updated the first repository as well. (He did have a few problems with github first.) Also this post now links to the correct repository.

Greetings,
Martin

Hi my Utopian account is connected to Github. And my friend MWFIAE helped me with Github. I haven't found the button to delete old files. But now it should be fixed.

Tks for the README. the information given by @mwfiae should be on the body of your post.

Done
