This is a minor update, mainly to remove references to the old database scheme so that SteemSQL is the only adapter. Prior to this, SteemData was the primary database source, which is long gone at this point.
Cosgrove is a STEEM Centric Discord Bot Framework that allows you to write your own Discord bots that interact with the STEEM blockchain.
One example of a bot that uses this framework is @banjo on SteemSpeak.
$register <account> [chain] - associate account with your Discord user (chain default steem)$verify <account> [chain] - check account association with Discord users (chain default steem)$upvote [url] - upvote from cosgrove; empty or ^ to upvote last steemit linkdynamic - uses the bot's current voting recharge percent as the upvote percent.upvote_rules - uses channel specific rules.100.00 % - can be any valid voting percentage.disable_comment_voting - only posts can get votes.CommentJob for creating automated replies.on_success_upvote_job which can be used to, for example, reply to the post after being upvoted.operators to keep track of steem accounts that can do things like block upvotes (by blockchain mute).$ gem install cosgrove
... or in your Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'cosgrove'
Add a config file to your ruby project called config.yml:
:cosgrove:
:token:
:client_id:
:secure: set this
:operators: <account names seperated by space>
:upvote_weight: upvote_rules
:upvote_rules:
:channels:
:default:
:upvote_weight: 50.00 %
:general_text:
:channel_id: <Your Favorite Channel ID>
:upvote_weight: 100.00 %
:disable_comment_voting: true
:chain:
:steem_account:
:steem_posting_wif:
:steem_api_url: https://api.steemit.com
:discord:
:log_mode: info
You will need to request a token and client_id from Discord (see below).
Provide the accounts and wif private postings keys if you want your bot to upvote posts.
You should change the secure key using the output of:
SecureRandom.hex(32)
application and create an app bot user.APP_CLIENT_ID with the App's Client ID in this URL: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=APP_CLIENT_ID&scope=bot&permissions=153600token and client_id in your bot constructor (see below).Some features provided by cosgrove require access to SteemSQL, which is a Microsoft SQL database containing all the Steem blockchain data.
Please note:
SteemSQL has moved to a monthly subscription model and the default free account/password “steemit/steemit” has been disabled.
If you intend to use SteemSQL, you can provide the credentials in authorize-steem-sql.sh, then use this terminal command to enable SteemSQL just before running your bot. Copy the example example-authorize-steem-sql.sh and add your credentials:
source path/to/authorize-steem-sql.sh
Features that currently require SteemSQL:
$mvests command$upvote (when checking for dailly limits)Cosgrove is based on discordrb, see: https://github.com/meew0/discordrb
All features offered by discordrb are available in Cosgrove. In addition, Cosgrove comes with pre-defined commands. See them by typing: $help
You can add you features thusly:
require 'cosgrove'
bot = Cosgrove::Bot.new
bot.message(with_text: 'Ping!') do |event|
event.respond 'Pong!'
end
bot.run
