steemQL 0.6.2 - Voting and Metadata

A new update for steemql is out. This one adds the ability to vote and query votes for posts. Hence all basic features to interact (posting, commenting, voting) are available now. As an extra benefit, the json_metadata field of posts is now parsed and the standard fields like image, tags, links etc. are now returned as a direct property of posts. If the don't exist, null is returned. No need to deal with that on your own. Have fun...

New Features

• Vote on posts
• Get active votes for posts (standalone or inside a post query as a sub query)
• Standard properties from json_metadata as direct post properties (pre-parsed)

Roadmap

• Add related data, e.g. get all comments of posts inside a user query
• Adding missing properties for important custom queries like posts, user etc.
• Adding extra convenience properties like formatted or calculated values (e.g. total balance, reputation)
• Subscriptions for post/comment related queries, to use with GraphQL Clients like Apollo

steemQL In Action

The whole Insteem Site is using steemql. If you e.g. wanna figure out who mentioned you in a post or comment, have a look here: https://www.insteem.com/mentions/@sarasate

Here is a sample query to get posts including images, tags and links and the user object:

{
  posts {
    id
    title
    tags
    format
    app
    links
    community
    user {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Play with it: steemQL Server. To get documentation for available queries, hit the green Schema button on the right.

If you're not familiar with GraphQL, here you go.
