Actifit Bot Development Updates

Repository

https://github.com/mcfarhat/actifit-bot

Introduction

Actifit bot is an integral part of the whole Actifit project and reward process, and hence continuous development on it is essential for the growth of the platform.
We have implemented several new features, modifications and fixes to enhance Actifit, including new API endpoints, delegation payout process changes, upcoming feature of STEEM/AFIT swap, change of DB storage format and fix for data sorting, as well as fix for preventing missed post rewards in extreme cases.
Below you will find more details about this update.

Technology Stack

The bot is scripted using Node.js, and connects to a MongoDB instance for storing values.

Work Done

Add new API endpoints: Commit Link

• Implement new end point for retrieving total number of tokens distributed (by reward type but also full total)
• Implement new end point for retrieving the token rewards per post

Store proper DB date format (Fix Sorting Issue & Relevant APIs): Commit Link

• Implement change to store date values as dates instead of strings (fix sorting of transactions for user display along with running a one time script to fix all 800K+ stored transactions)
• Update APIs to function properly with new date format

Process more than 1 post per day per user: Commit Link

• Implement a change to allow accepting more than 1 post per day (up to max 2) to overcome server time difference limitation. Prevention for more than 1 post per day still occurs at mobile app level.

Allow swapping Steem payments for AFIT tokens: Commit Link

• Implement bot functionality to track beneficiary payments to a specific actifit account, which would allow users to get fully paid in AFIT tokens after payout.

Implement delegation payout process changes: Commit Link

• Update delegators payment to include SBD payouts
• Update user token count right after delegation pay

Roadmap

Further continuous improvements will be done on top of the bot, as we aim to build further on the different new functionality just implemented, and particularly on developing new end points to ease up the website and app experience.
