This.Piston.Rocks - Public Steem API for piston users and developers

With the recent update release for piston, we now offer a dedicated public API node for our developers. It can be reached via SSL-secured websocket connection using this URL:

wss://this.piston.rocks

Steem Node

The Steem witness node comes with the following plugins enables:

• account_history
• follow
• market_history
• private_message
• tags

Hardware

The underlying hardware should be sufficient to host Steem for quite some time:

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 Cores)
• 32 GB RAM
• 2.8TB disk
• Debian 8.5

Usage

You can install piston using pip:

pip install steem-piston

It comes with it's own executable that you can use, e.g. with

piston list

or programmatically in Python with:

from piston.steem import Steem
steem = Steem()
print(steem.rpc.get_account("xeroc"))

If you already had piston installed, you can redefine the node by running

piston set node wss://this.piston.rocks
