update for beem: changes regarding HF24

Repository

https://github.com/holgern/beem

beem is a python library and command line tool for HIVE. The current version is 0.24.13.

There is also a discord channel for beem: https://discord.gg/4HM592V

The newest beem version can be installed by:

pip install -U beem

Check that you are using hive nodes. The following command

beempy updatenodes --hive

The list of nodes can be checked with

beempy config

and

beempy currentnode

shows the currently connected node.

Important changes in HF24

parent_permlink and parent_author

Both parameters from a comment are not existent in HF24 when the comment is a main post.
You can use the property of the comment object instead.

from beem.comment import Comment
c = Comment("@holger80/update-for-beem-compatibility-issues-with-hf24-have-been-fixed")
print("parent_author" in c.json())
print("parent_permlink" in c.json())
print(c.parent_author)
print(c.parent_permlink)

returns

False
False
''
''

last_update in a comment

The last_update of a comment has become updated.

from beem.comment import Comment
c = Comment("@holger80/update-for-beem-compatibility-issues-with-hf24-have-been-fixed")
print(c["updated"])

returns a date:

2020-10-09 21:50:00+00:00

Outgoing votes are not available anymore

from beem.account import Account
acc = Account("holger80")
print(acc.get_account_votes())

returns

[]

The list_votes and find_votes rpc api call are not longer available.

This means also that

beempy pending --curation holger80

and

beempy votes --outgoing holger80

does not longer work.

New bridge api calls in beem

Beem uses now hivemind calls (bridge api) for receiving comments and information about feed, blog, trending, created, hot...

from beem.comment import RankedPosts
trending = RankedPosts("trending",)
hot = RankedPosts(sort="hot")
created = RankedPosts("created")
promoted = RankedPosts("promoted")
payout = RankedPosts("payout")
payout_comments = RankedPosts("payout_comments")
muted = RankedPosts("muted")

from beem.comment import AccountPosts
comments = AccountPosts("comments", "holger80")
blog = AccountPosts("blog", "holger80")
posts = AccountPosts("posts", "holger80")
replies = AccountPosts("replies", "holger80")
feed = AccountPosts("feed", "holger80")
