Changes in HF24/Eclipse RPC nodes:

Almost everything is rebranded in this version. You have to update anything that includes the word "steem" or "sbd" in your apps.



** ATTENTION **
All the listed changes will only take effect on the eclipse RPC nodes. It means you must not apply the updates in the production until there is a final release candidate.
Also, the old public nodes will continue running to give you enough time for updating your applications.
In the meantime, @gtg maintains an early version which you can test your apps with https://beta.openhive.network/ (It is the mainnet)


Affected operations:

  • comment_options (!)
    Old: percent_steem_dollars
    New: percent_hbd

  • escrow_transfer
    Old: steem_amount, sbd_amount
    New: hive_amount, hbd_amount

  • escrow_release
    Old: steem_amount, sbd_amount
    New: hive_amount, hbd_amount

  • claim_reward_balance
    Old: reward_steem, reward_sbd
    New: reward_hive, reward_hbd

  • author_reward (virtual operation)
    Old: steem_payout, sbd_payout
    New: hive_payout, hbd_payout

  • witness_update
    Old: sbd_interest_rate
    New: hbd_interest_rate

  • witness_set_properties
    Old: sbd_interest_rate, sbd_exchange_rate
    New: hbd_interest_rate, hbd_exchange_rate


Affected API calls:
Replace all the steem with hive and all the sbd with hbd in the received JSON object.
There is one exception in percent_steem_dollars which is now percent_hbd!

  • condenser_api.get_accounts (and other similar calls returning an account object like condenser_api.lookup_account_names)
  • condenser_api.get_blog
  • condenser_api.get_chain_properties
  • condenser_api.get_content
  • condenser_api.get_content_replies
  • condenser_api.get_discussions_by_*
  • condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties
  • condenser_api.get_market_history
  • condenser_api.get_ticker
  • condenser_api.get_version
  • condenser_api.get_volume
  • condenser_api.get_witness_by_account
  • condenser_api.get_witness_schedule
  • bridge.get_ranked_posts
  • All database_api equivelants of the methods above
  • database_api.list_escrows
  • database_api.find_sbd_conversion_requests (method renamed)
  • database_api.list_sbd_conversion_requests (method renamed)
  • database_api.find_witnesses
  • market_history_api.get_market_history
  • market_history_api.get_order_book
  • market_history_api.get_ticker
  • market_history_api.get_volume
  • tags_api.get_discussion
  • tags_api.get_discussions_by_*

Updated libraries:

Hive-js (see v0.8.2)

In order to connect to the eclipse RPC nodes, you have to set rebranded_api in the config.json to true.

Or

hive.config.set('rebranded_api', true)
hive.broadcast.updateOperations()

There is also a helper function to get the node version and update the config:

hive.utils.autoDetectApiVersion().then(() => {
  hive.broadcast.updateOperations()
})

Note: Calling hive.broadcast.updateOperations() is necessary after updating the rebranded_api.


Dhive (see MR16 - v0.14.1)

In order to connect to the eclipse RPC nodes, the easy way is:

const client = new dhive.Client("https://rpc", { rebrandedApi: true })

Or

client.updateOperations(true) // true: hf24

And with the helper function:

const client = new dhive.Client("https://rpc")
client.database.getVersion().then((res) => {
  if (res.blockchain_version !== '0.23.0') {
    client.updateOperations(true)
  }
})

Hive-tx (see v3.1.8)

hiveTx.config.rebranded_api = true
hiveTx.updateOperations()

OR

hiveTx.call('condenser_api.get_version').then(res => {
  if (res.result.blockchain_version !== '0.23.0') {
    hiveTx.config.rebranded_api = true
    hiveTx.updateOperations()
  }
})

Beem is also updated: https://github.com/holgern/beem/releases/tag/0.24.5

For the other libraries visit their repository for more information.


Note: the chain id is also changed in the HF24. But you don't have to worry about it since the libraries will take care of that.
