Account history

In this test, it is measured how many account operation a node can stream.

List of working nodes - account history

This table includes all nodes which were able to stream at least one account history operation within 15 seconds.The achieved minimum, maximum and mean account transaction per seconds values are shown. When a node failes, its mean value is reduced as it is counted as 0 history operation per seconds

Summary of working nodes

A node is working, when it could fullfil at least once in the last 24h the following conditions:

• returned data within 30 seconds,
• blocks could be streamed,
• account history was possible,
• votes, a comment, an account could successfully be fetched and were not empty.

The nodes in the following table are ranked by the mean rank of all three node tables shown above.
This table includes only nodes which were passing all three tests sucessfully.

The shown ranks are: block rank - block_diff rank - history rank - apicall rank

node	ranks	score
https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org	1 - 2 - 2 - 3	90.0
https://api.steemitdev.com	3 - 4 - 1 - 1	77.5
https://rpc.steemviz.com	2 - 3 - 4 - 5	72.5
https://rpc.usesteem.com	5 - 5 - 3 - 4	62.5
https://api.steem.house	4 - 8 - 6 - 2	47.5
https://anyx.io	6 - 6 - 5 - 6	45.0
https://appbasetest.timcliff.com	8 - 1 - 7 - 7	37.5
https://steemd.privex.io	7 - 7 - 8 - 8	17.5

Set fully working nodes with beempy / steempy

https://api.steemitstage.com, https://api.steemitdev.com and nodes with not working results were excluded.

beempy

beempy set nodes "['https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org', 'https://rpc.steemviz.com', 'https://rpc.usesteem.com', 'https://api.steem.house', 'https://anyx.io', 'https://appbasetest.timcliff.com', 'https://steemd.privex.io']"

steempy

steempy set nodes https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org,https://rpc.steemviz.com,https://rpc.usesteem.com,https://api.steem.house,https://anyx.io,https://appbasetest.timcliff.com,https://steemd.privex.io

Receive fully working nodes from json_metadata of the @fullnodeupdate account

The nodes are also stored in the json_metadata variable of the @fullnodeupdate account.
The nodes inside the account metadata are updated every hour.
The json_metadata includes the following data:

• nodes - list of nodes that passed all tests.
• failing_nodes - list of nodes that did not answer the get_config call.
• report - test results.
• parameter - used beem and test parameter.

Example code for python:

from beem.account import Account
import json
acc = Account("fullnodeupdate")
nodes = json.loads(acc["json_metadata"])["nodes"]
acc.steem.set_default_nodes(nodes)
