New Project: Steem Exif Spider Bot
Motivation
I was corresponding about ideas with @sambillingham one day when the idea of adding exif data to posts came up.
I decided to take it a step further into the realm of blockchain spiders, and I created a bot that spiders the blockchain for EXIF information. It then upvotes the post/comment it finds the EXIF information on and leaves the EXIF information in a comment.
Requirements
- Docker Everything is self-contained within a docker image.
Usage
docker run --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e STEEM_WIF=$STEEM_WIF -e VOTING_WEIGHT=500 r351574nc3/steem-exif-spider-bot:latest
Implementation
This was implemented using javascript and the following modules:
steem-jssteem apibluebirdpromisesexifreaderreading exif datahandlebarsfor the comment template
The bot sieves through transactions from steem.api.streamOperations. It looks for Image property of json_metadata. If it finds any, this image is processed and pruned in exifreader. Once tags have been parsed, they're reprocessed through handlebars to create a comment body. The comment body is then reposted to the original post with an upvote.
Roadmap
- Convert to Typescript
- Add UI for configuration
- Add queue for commenting/voting
- Configurable/more selective about EXIF data
- Find older posts.

@hungryhustle you will like this bot :)
This is great @omitaylor. Thanks for tagging me here!
Similar to @exifr. :')
Great to see you made this! Nice work. 💯
It's not ideal. I think what I suggested to you is a much better plan. Bots annoy the hell out of people. This will only serve to get me more negative attention. LOL. It's mostly to convince myself it wasn't just pie in the sky.
Still highly encourage you to implement this in a more cohesive way.
Thank you for the contribution. It has been approved.
Interesting project and good post. Just a little suggestion: Since your repository contains multiple bots, I would always put a link to the respective sub-directory directly into the post.
Keep up to good work!

Can you update your repo according to this rule "The repository must contain a readme file with usage and install instructions, as well as an appropriate open source license."
I don't get it.
