SteemAPI Tutorial Getting the latest post of a user?

Hey Steemians In this post i going to show how we can use the steem API to get the latest post details of a specific user.
We are going to be using jsfiddle if you do not know how to use it i would suggest going to my last post

There are a number of ways to get the users last post, we are going to be using the function

steem.api.getBlogEntries(account,entryid,limit,callback)

As you can see there are 4 parameter(account,entryid,limit,callback).So we can essentially get any single post from the users given we know the entry id for a given post.In this tutorial however i will use entryID as an arbitrary large number so as to get the last post from the user.

Parameter entry

account:ajkapss

entryid:9999

limit:1

Code Example


steem.api.getBlogEntries("ajkapss", 9999, 1, function(err, data)
{
    console.log(err, data[0]);
  var Author=document.createElement('li');
  Author.innerHTML=("Author name :"+data[0].author);
  var permLink=document.createElement('li');//also the title
  permLink.innerHTML=("PermLink :"+data[0].permlink);
  ul.appendChild(Author);
  ul.appendChild(permLink);
});

Here is the link to the jsfiddle page to view the code
