WARNINGS:

• This package is still under development, some future breakage is inevatable.
• Some AppBase API methods are still under development and subject to change.
• Do NOT copy your private keys in your codes!

Features

1. Lightweight package for small Hive dApps or projects.
2. Readily available methods using the nektar.Waggle() class.
3. Highly costumizable via appbase module.

Nektar Module

Contains the Waggle, Swarm, and Drone classes.

Waggle Class

Methods for blogging and engagement Import Module

from nektar import Waggle
import json # leverage json to `beautify` purpose only

Basic Setup

from nektar import Waggle

hive = Waggle(username)

Setup Application

username = "hive-nektar"
app_name = "nektar.app"
version = "2022.10.05"

hive = Waggle(username, app=app_name, version=version)

Setup Application with WIF/s

WARNING: Store WIFs securely in a separate file!

## option 1
wif = "5*"
role="posting"
username = "hive-nektar"

hive = Waggle(username, wif=wif, role=role)

## option 2
username = "hive-nektar"

wifs = { "active": "5*" }
hive = Waggle(username, wifs=wifs)

Initialize with Custom Parmeters

hive = Waggle("valid-username", wifs=wifs, timeout=25, retries=1, warning=True)

Get account details

metadata = json.loads(hive.account["posting_json_metadata"])
name = metadata["profile"]["name"]

AppBase Module

Basic Usage

from appbase import AppBase



## Initialize AppBase Class
hive = AppBase()

## Initialize AppBase Class with custom parameters
custom_nodes = ["rpc.mock.site"]
hive = AppBase(nodes=custom_nodes, timeout=5, retries=1, warning=True)

## Change to custom nodes
hive.custom_nodes(custom_nodes)

## Add new WIF and equivalent role
hive.append_wif(wif="5*", role="posting")
hive.append_wif(wif="5*", role="active")

## Add new dictionary of roles and their equivalent WIFs
wifs = {"posting": "5*", "active": "5*"}
hive.append_wif(wifs)

## Change retries to custom value
hive.set_timeout(15)

## Read the actual Hive API documentation for proper guidance
## https://developers.hive.io/apidefinitions/

## Access API and its methods - generic
hive.api("condenser")
hive.api("condenser_api")

## `account_by_key_api.get_key_references`
# version = hive.api("account_by_key_api").*
params = {"keys": "STM*"]}
data = hive.account_by_key().get_key_references(params)
print("Account by public key: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

## `bridge.get_profile`
# version = hive.api("bridge").*
params = {"account": "valid-username1", "observer": "valid-username2"}
data = hive.bridge().get_profile(params)
print("Profile: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

## `account_history_api.get_account_history`
# version = hive.api("account_history").*
params = {
    "account": "valid-username",
    "start": 1000,
    "limit": 1000,
    "include_reversible": True,
    "operation_filter_low": 0,
    "operation_filter_high": 1,
}
data = hive.account_history().get_account_history(params)
print("Account history: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

## `block_api.get_block`
params = {"block_num": 8675309}
data = hive.block().get_block(params)
print("Block: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

## Create an instance for specific API only.
condenser = hive.condenser()

params = "valid-username", "valid-permlink"]
data = condenser.get_content(params)
print("Content #1: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

params = "valid-username", 0, 10]
data = condenser.get_blog(params)
print("Content #2: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

## Using the `request` method
method = "rc_api.find_rc_accounts"
params = {"accounts": "valid-username"]}
data = hive.request(method, params, strict=False)
print("Accounts: " + json.dumps(data, indent=2))

## Using the `broadcast` method - `condenser_api`
method = "condenser_api.get_transaction_hex"
transaction = {
    "ref_block_num": 123456,
    "ref_block_prefix": 1234567890,
    "expiration": "2022-10-05T18:00:00",
    "operations": [
        [
            "vote",
            {
                "voter": "valid-username1",
                "author": "valid-username2",

            },
        ]
    ],
    "extensions": [],

data = hive.broadcast(method, transaction, strict=False)
print("Transaction hex: " + data)
