claim_reward.lua: Redeem your rewards with the power of Lua

develcuy (58)in #witness-category • 7 years ago (edited)

I hate to hit the "REDEEM REWARDS" button, don't you? Let's do something to get rid of such boring task! Let the cash flow man!

First of all, claim_reward.lua is part of my lazy-steem project. If you are a witness take a look at my previous post: publish_feed.lua: Update your witness price feed with the power of Lua

There we go!

How to fetch the pending rewards balance

This is not dark magic, just a few lines of code and voila! claim_reward.lua relies on cli_wallet's JSON-RPC API. It requires two API calls: get_account and claim_reward_balance.

The output of get_account is huge, we only need this parameters:

{
  ...
  "reward_sbd_balance": "0.000 SBD",
  "reward_steem_balance": "0.000 STEEM",
  "reward_vesting_steem": "0.000 STEEM",
  ...
}

It has everything required for claim_reward_balance, everything else is really easy!

Running the script automagically every X minutes

Installation is pretty easy, all instructions are available in my previous article about publish_feed.lua, nothing has changed... yet!

And this is what you can put into your crontab:

# m h  dom mon dow   command
10  5  *   *   *     cd /path/to/lazy-steem/; ./claim_reward.lua dropahead http://localhost:8093 > /dev/null

Don't run away that fast!

If you liked this stuff then vote @dropahead for witness!

Talk is cheap, code is gold! You had better start a pull request if you want to say something about my precious code. Here: https://github.com/develCuy/lazy-steem

Happy hacking and keep steeming hard!
