Steem for script kiddies: Top N pending powerdowns

remlaps-lite (76)in #steem • 2 years ago

Just for fun, I slapped together a little toy bash script tonight to pull down the top pending power-downs for the following week. It runs from the linux command line and has been tested in ubuntu and OpenSUSE, including ubuntu under WSL.

By default, it shows the top 5 pending powerdowns from each day. To show a different number, just run with the preferred number as the first command line argument.

Note that curl, jq, and perl are required.

#!/bin/bash

N=${1:-5}

VESTING_FUND_STEEM=$(curl -s --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties", "params":[], "id":1}' https://api.steemit.com | jq -Scr '.result | ( .total_vesting_fund_steem )' | awk '{print $1}')
VESTING_FUND_VESTS=$(curl -s --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties", "params":[], "id":1}' https://api.steemit.com | jq -Scr '.result | ( .total_vesting_shares )' | awk '{print $1}')
STEEM_PER_MVEST=$(perl -e "print ${VESTING_FUND_STEEM} / (1000000 * ${VESTING_FUND_VESTS})")

for DAYS in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
   date
   PDOWN_DATE=$(date -d "+${DAYS} days" +%Y-%m-%d)
   CMD='{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"database_api.list_accounts", "params": {"start":["'${PDOWN_DATE}'T00:00:00", ""], "limit":1000, "order":"by_next_vesting_withdrawal"}, "id":1}'
   echo "Looking for powerdowns on ${PDOWN_DATE}"
   echo ----
   curl -s --data "${CMD}" https://api.steemit.com| \
      jq -Sc '.result[][] | {name, next_vesting_withdrawal, vesting_withdraw_rate}' | \
      egrep "${PDOWN_DATE}" | \
      awk -F, '{print $1" "$2" "$3" "$5 "--- " $4}'  | \
      sed 's/ \"precis.*//g' | \
      sed 's/\"//g' | \
      sed 's/.*name://g' | \
      sed 's/next.*withdrawal://g' | \
      sed 's/vest.*amount:/ /g' | \
      awk '{print $NF" "$2" "$1}' | \
      sort +0 -1nr | \
      awk '{print $2 " - " $1 " VESTS, " '${STEEM_PER_MVEST}' * $1" STEEM"}' | \
      head -${N}
      echo ; echo
done

exit

And here's some sample output:

How to add the account name is left as a simple exercise for the reader. ; -)

Nice! I don't think many people deal with sh-scripts any more, do they?

The task was really not that difficult :-) Fortunately, you have already filtered out the account. :-)

Yeah, I don't know how common shell scripting is these days. It's still my "go to" when I want something fast though. I got stalled on the java stuff a while back because of time constraints, and today when I went to open my projects back up, the IDE was all messed up for some unknown reason. So instead of doing something productive, I'm uninstalling and reinstalling netbeans. Meanwhile, "vi" and "bash" are just always ready. ;-)

If you're coding all the time, the more advanced programming environment is nice, but as a hobbyist, it can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help.

Fortunately, you have already filtered out the account. :-)

Right. It's already published on the blockchain, but for some reason it still feels like I shouldn't be publishing the account names in a post.

Right! I prefer "nano", but basically you're right.

as a hobbyist, it can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help.

That is annoying, of course.
I only use vscode now. With extensions, you can also use it for any language and no longer need a special development environment. So I can do Python, Javascript and everything for html pages in one environment.

for some reason it still feels like I shouldn't be publishing the account names in a post.

That depends on the purpose, of course. For your weekly statistics, for example, I don't think the accounts are needed. But maybe you need them some day... :-)
