Python Libraries: No More BEEM

avatar

image.png

I spent the last weekend re-writing my voting BOT. It’s a thankless task, and I have been putting it off for months. When I get my Python hat on, I roll, but it's tough finding that headwear sometimes.

There are more interesting things to do like playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey or re-playing it. Wasted time, it surely is and after a 4 hour session I feel so guilty for not having achieved anything.


image.png
...'hunting down Mercenaries and Cultists is surely more fun than this?'... - Source

Gaining TWO levels does not count, as this is strictly escapism in the finest sense, though entertaining.

So I wasted two days, re-writing my abortion of a legacy script that works very well but looks fucking awful. ‘BEEM the deprecated', it had to go and nearly has.

The idea of showing some deserving UK Hivers love, due to @c0ff33a's old @teamuksupport ceasing to be sounded great, but this was not my idea.

@livingktaiwan asked me if I could convert my old BOT, and suddenly that elusive Python hat appeared in front of my eyes as if by magic.


image.png
...'thanks @steevc, these lists of yours came in very handy'...

@steevc’s large list of UK people helped me out and I have to say a big thanks to @livingktaiwan for supplying me the data formatted in a list.

After a very productive Saturday and an equally unproductive Sunday, the BOT was ready for its first run-through and crashed spectacularly.

It’s my fault for naming it v1.0. It should have been at least v1.1 for as everyone knows v.1.0 of anything does not work.

Running scripts against lists always surprises me with the data it feeds out. It's one of the joys of being able to code; to see that 'thing' you are developing spring into life.

There are still some bugs in it, but it's kind of working though hardly draining my voting power.


image.png
...'a common sight, hardly anyone posts content on HIVE, at least from the UK'...

There's barely anyone posting and a single run-through didn't quite achieve what I was looking for.

My old BOT relied heavily on BEEM and Saturday was bliss, with not a BEEM Import on the horizon.

Then Sunday arrived, the BOT was 90% done and that last 10% was going to give me some shit. I wanted to use the Condenser API calls and had found functions for almost everything except a couple of pertinent ones.

- get_voting_power

I had used BEEM previously and try as I may, I could not get a condenser function to return the correct values. After fucking around for a couple of hours I caved in and added the BEEM library.

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Function to get the voting power of an account using fucking BEEM :(
def get_voting_power(voter):
    try:
        account = Account(voter, blockchain_instance=hive)
        vp = round(account.get_voting_power(), 2)  # Convert to percentage
        return vp
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error retrieving voting power for @{voter}: {e}")
        return None
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, I was far from happy but I wanted the new toy to be finished by the end of the weekend. I knew once my coding head was off the rails, it would be tough for me to re-attach.

- vote

This was puzzling, there must be a way to vote using clear-text credential posting keys. Yet again, I could not find a way to do it, nothing was working and Sunday afternoon was turning into dusk.

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def vote(post, author, ivoteweight, voter, lasestpost):

    print()
    if hasAuthorVoted(voter, author, lasestpost):
        print (bcolors.RED + f" Post has already been voted by @{voter}, skipping..." +     bcolors.END)
        return
    else:
        print(bcolors.YELLOW + f" Post has NOT previously been voted by @{voter}..." + bcolors.END)
        print(bcolors.YELLOW + f' Post will be voted at {ivoteweight:.2f}%' + bcolors.END)

        if not debugmode:
            post.upvote(weight=ivoteweight, voter=voter)

        print()
        print(bcolors.GREEN + " STATUS: Success!!!"+ bcolors.END)

    return
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'lasestpost'- I was getting tired, but spelling mistake or not, it would work!

BEEM again to the rescue, and thanks @felixxx for helping me out converting a permalink string to a BEEM comment.

The documentation may seem extensive for this ageing library but as all my other functions DON'T use BEEM, the permalinks I had were not BEEM comments, and I needed them to be in that specific format for the vote function to work.

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
def permalink_to_beem_comment(permalink):

    hive = Hive(node = activenode)
    post = Comment(permalink, hive_instance=hive)
    return post
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's easy enough so long as you have a definition within activenode, otherwise, you get a 'String Indices’ error that tells you nothing. Luckily I have friends who know the idiosyncrasies of this library.

So… for the moment:

activenode = "https://api.deathwing.me"

Thanks @deathwing, I find your node particularly reliable and you have a cool name, so I used you.

As for the BOT and who it’s going to vote that will remain a secret. If you are from the UK or are an ex-patriot I will know about you via @steevc's list, so maybe not so secret.

I want to thank several other Orca's (who will remain nameless) who have thrown in and, supported this BOT by following a specific account that triggers further votes.


image.png
...'Orca Support - don't expect $$, but it's better than nothing'... - Source

If it was just @livingktaiwan and me it would have been decent but having that handful of other voters makes it more significant.

Please don’t ask to be added to the list, if you are deserving and from the UK then I will seek you out and give you support.

Lastly, I will give big comment votes out to anyone who can replace these fucking BEEM functions with working Condenser ones!

Nothing against python since I use mostly in, I am more fluent for sure. But since I stepped a bit in javascript I felt that the Hive client in JS is easier to get what you want... you look good in general logics , I recommend you try it out!

@deathwing's node seems to also be the only one that supports ipv6.
A witness worth supporting, I think.

Unless you want to build your own transaction signing, using a library like BEEM is ok.
I just avoid BEEM's higher level object stuff and stick to the underlying core functions.

Here is the code snippet for upvote that I use.

async function doUpvote(client, account, key, author, permlink, weight, wv, curator) {
  const ops = [
    [
      "vote",
      {
        voter: account,
        author: author,
        permlink: permlink,
        weight: weight,
      },
    ],
  ];
  try {
    logger.info(`Waiting for 5 seconds beore upvoting`);
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000 * 3));
    const result = await client.broadcast.sendOperations(ops, key);
    logger.info(`Broadcasted operation successfully ${JSON.stringify(result)}`);
    return `Upvoted & result is - ${JSON.stringify(result)}`;
  } catch (err) {
    logger.error(err);
    throw err;
  }
}

module.exports = {
  doUpvote,
};

I think you misunderstand.
BEEM is abandoned. There will be no changes.
Even if there were any - it's on github and you can always clone into an older version - the one that was working for you.

As long as there are no significant changes to how Hive nodes work, it will keep working, especially if you stick to the core functions, like I showed above.
Problematic with BEEM are the more abstract, higher level functions - some of them broke, when Hive changed.

The core features still work all the same and never changed since block 0.

Hive's core features still work all the same and never changed since the first block, 8 years ago.

Likewise, BEEM's core functions (inherited from Piston) also never changed for those 8 years.

If you stay away from the higher level, abstract classes of BEEM, or at least use them consciously, you can probably use it forever.

Let's delve into the Builda whale farm on the Hive, Gogreenbuddy, who is also colloquially known as the Marky mark USAINVOTE UPMYVOTE IPROMOTE PUNKTEAM and 100's more if not thousands this individual has asserted that his intentions behind this initiative are driven by a desire to contribute positively to the community. Now, let's explore what he is earning on a monthly basis from this venture. income is said to be generated through the use of multiple alternative accounts, which he utilizes to cast votes in favor of his own shit content. The community seems to have mixed feelings about this practice many are scared to speak up.

playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Doing everything on that game required me an indecent amount of hours, back when I had a lot of spare time to waste 😅 but as an old AC player I felt for years the need to 100% complete every one of them.

with not a BEEM Import on the horizon.

I'm trying to use the condenser API for my latest script (as you suggested me), but I feel that it's going to be a long journey before I can remove BEEM from my imports 😂

Tonight I'm going to see if I can make some progress and, if I have time, I'd also like to give a second look at your snippets: having some working scripts without (or almost without) BEEM is gold for me!

I still have to play both Mirage and the previous one, Valhalla: I've read mostly negative review about Mirage, but still I'd like to play again an AC similar to the original ones, just for the vides ahhaah

About BEEM, may I ask you a (surely stupid) question? Python tutorials on developers.hive.io use BEEM, so they are outdated, right? Because I was going through all of them, but looking at your first snippet I finally grasped (a little) how I should use the condenser API and realized that those tutorials must have been written before the deprecation of BEEM.

It seems we are stuck with BEEM for certain transactions unless you want to build a transaction signing function. I'm happy to be 90% BEEM free, it cuts down on the errors.

What we need is someone to either update BEEM or build a new API that is just as good as that was. Some have been attempted but I haven't seen any updates lately.

@emrebeyler did one, have a look here.

The tutorial linked above, also contains a link to a Python example from 8(!) years ago.

You can translate it to any language, of course.
But the whole signing procedure is a bit complicated and if you just want to build something, I would recommend you just use an existing library for signing.
Posted the link, so you can see how much trouble it is.

Oh wow... that's beyond complicated for me 🤣

ok, I'm going to follow your advice and use one of the existing library we already have to sign transaction: after giving a look at that I have no more doubts ahahaha

For a Python user you would recommend using BEEM for signing? Or are there other libraries which are better and/or more updated?

It doesn't matter which lib you use.
I use beem, but by accessing its underlying functions like demonstrated somwehere else in this comment section here. The more abstract, the more errors can occur. But then again: more abstraction can make the code more readable.
It's up to you and what suits your needs best...

I think you can use the ‘requests’ library to make HTTP requests to the Hive API.

Suppose you have a function that publishes a publication using BEEM:


from beem import Hive

def publicar_mensaje(usuario, clave_privada, mensaje):
Hive = Hive(keys=[clave_privada])
hive.post(mensaje, author=usuario)

You can replace it using the Hive API directly with requests:


import requests

def publicar_mensaje(usuario, clave_privada, mensaje):
url = "https://api.hive.blog/rpc"
payload = {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "condenser_api.post",
"params": [usuario, clave_privada, "", mensaje, "", False],
"id": 1,
}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
print(response.json())


Or something like that. It's a matter of investing another weekend and doing the relevant tests.

This is tested:

import requests

def get_properties(node_url):
    data = '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"database_api.get_dynamic_global_properties", "id":1}'
    response = requests.post(node_url, data=data)
    return response

Save as api.py and import your own custom calls 🙂

response is json, I handle that like this:

import api

def get_last_irreversible_block_num(node_url):
    response = api.get_properties(node_url)
    num = int(response.json()["result"]['last_irreversible_block_num'])
    return num

I think this is clean enough.
Use https://developers.hive.io/ api refenrence for other calls.

Please don't ask me why I called a function get_last_irreversible_block_num 🤣
I just copy pasted this from older code and thought it was a neat example for @slobberchops 😜

However: transaction signing isn't trivial, I'd recommend a library like BEEM.

Sorry for the edits.

Hope this saves someone some time.
Follow my blog 😁 for more.

"Looks like a weekend well spent! Honestly, a lot of this feels like gibberish to me, but I’m thinking I should probably learn some programming myself. That way I can help my kids down the road, if they’re interested, of course!

Sadly mine was not, and opted out of Computer Studies at school. Now she's grown up and at University.

I think those are time well spent, even the gaming ones. I don't know how to code in python, but I remember the pain of fixing code bugs and errors. I think it's great that you guys decided to continue supporting the UK hivers.

If peeps in the other countries did the same, it would be an incentive to write better stuff.

Cool stuff. We need a supported library of essential functions. Maybe someone can fork beem and improve it.

Yeah, that would be nice. It was probably a thankless task for @holger80 and that's why he abandoned it.

Let's delve into the Builda whale farm on the Hive, Gogreenbuddy, who is also colloquially known as the Marky mark USAINVOTE UPMYVOTE IPROMOTE PUNKTEAM and 100's more if not thousands this individual has asserted that his intentions behind this initiative are driven by a desire to contribute positively to the community. Now, let's explore what he is earning on a monthly basis from this venture. income is said to be generated through the use of multiple alternative accounts, which he utilizes to cast votes in favor of his own shit content. The community seems to have mixed feelings about this practice many are scared to speak up.

Are you ready to delve deeper into this topic and uncover more insights? If so, let's proceed. It's time to wake up and gain a clearer understanding of the situation at hand.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts

How To Fool An Entire Population

it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content

We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content

Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic

We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

A new Fallout would be awesome, but it's not going to end up on Sony's platform. Bethesda was bought out by Microsoft.

Updating BEEM had been on my list of things to do a few years ago when I was working with Python more frequently, but these days I'm more closely working with C# and JS so the 'extra practice' of getting into the weeds of understanding BEEM hasn't been high on my to-do list as a result. Maybe one day I'll cycle back to that but a few folks have forked the library already and haven't made much progress it seems so we may see this library slowly move more and more to only working on core functions and nothing else.
