Challenge
Today's challenge is relatively simple. Take the code from the tutorial from here and change it to be able to do the following
- Instead of just replying to whoever mentions the username (change it to your own for example), also upvote them, but only if it's a post and not a comment.
That's it! Good luck to everyone participating!

Thanks for the contest. Here is my solution. :)
I tried your code and something different yesterday and I always get this error, would you happen to have idea what may be wrong on my side (using Linux and venv, py 3.6)
WARNING:urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (Retry(total=19, connect=None, read=None, redirect=0, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7ff791635630>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',)': /
@veleje
That's because the default node on the steem-python is dead. Have a look at the first or second post in the series. @amosbastian suggested there was a fix.
I use this workaround in my own projects.
Thank you. I'm not sure what exactly i should do, I'm beginner with Python.
I replaced:
steem = Steem()
with:
steem = Steem(nodes=["https://api.steemit.com", "https://rpc.buildteam.io"])
But I'm getting the same error.
this works for me.
Guess we are going to have to make the challenges a bit more difficult if you are participating! Congratulations once again, just sent you the reward!
Thanks.
Well, I will be waiting for the next one! :) bring it on.
I suggest for starter to maybe create another post, with the title Steemit workaround for 5 years old with all the needed details, that beginner needs.
Anything you guys posted so far I tried and I can't get Steemit-python to work for me any more.
I made fresh virtual environment (py 3.62), edited requirements.txt (toml==0.9.3), using:
"steem = Steem(nodes=["https://api.steemit.com", "https://rpc.buildteam.io"])"
...and nothing works.
Btw, using Linux (Manjaro) but there is no "libssl-dev" or "libssl" available in repositories.
But I installed "scrypt" and "python-scrypt"
It shouldn't be that complicated, it shouldn't be that hard because of some upgrades Steemit did.
Did you try typing
steempy set nodes https://rpc.steemviz.comin your terminal (as mentioned in part 1 of this series)? If it still doesn't work then join our Discord and I'll help you out when I get back from the gym!Thank you, I tried yesterday and I got some error.
But I just uninstalled steem and replaced it with:
pip install -U git+git://github.com/Netherdrake/steem-python
And some of my problems are solved. One code (start following a member) is working, so finally I'm having the progress. Thank you for your reply. I may come there later if I'm still going to struggle with anything.
If you are still having issues it is generally quicker to contact us on Discord
