SteemJs Programming: What Happens on the Steem Blockchain in the Last 24 Hours?
Many questions are interesting but the answers are not obvious or easy to get. For example: Who comments most in the last 24 hours?
I am going to show you a pattern to find out the answers to such questions using SteemJs.
Get Current Lastest Block
We need to get the latest block number on the steem blockchain, and we can work out roughly the last 24 hours block range by subtracting 206024 (3 seconds a block).
function getBlockchainData() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
steem.api.getDynamicGlobalProperties(function(err, result) {
if (!err) {
resolve(result);
} else {
reject(err);
}
});
});
}
The current block number is:
const blockchain = await getBlockchainData();
const maxBlock = blockchain.head_block_number;
Getting the Block Content
Each block contains transactions, here you would need to parse the list of transactions and look for the particular ones that you are interested. For example, if we want to compute the total producer rewards by witnesses, we can look for "producer_reward".
function getBlock(block) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
steem.api.getOpsInBlock(block, false, function(err, result) {
if (!err) {
const txCount = result.filter(x=>x.virtual_op===0).length;
const producer = result.filter(x=>x.op[0] === "producer_reward");
const witness = producer[0].op[1].producer;
const reward = producer[0].op[1].vesting_shares;
resolve({
count: txCount,
witness: witness,
reward: reward.replace(" VESTS", ""),
time: producer[0].timestamp.replace("T", " ")
});
} else {
reject(err);
}
});
});
}
Writing to Database or a File
We need to write the data into a database, or for simplicity, we can write to a CSV file for later process.
(async function() {
const blockchain = await getBlockchainData();
const maxBlock = blockchain.head_block_number;
for (let block = maxBlock - 20*60*24; block <= maxBlock; ++ block) {
try {
const data = await getBlock(block);
const s = '"' + data.time + '",' + block + ',"' + data.witness + '",' + data.count + "," + data.reward + "\n";
log(s);
fs.appendFileSync('data.csv', s);
} catch (e) {
log(e);
}
}
})();
Of course, if you want to further develop into a tool, you would need a database, and a background daemon that automatically syncs with the blockchain.
Every little helps! I hope this helps!
Steem On!~

This is too complicated for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand anything. Thank you for your work. Good luck.
Thanks for dropping by :)
Same, my brain isn't geared for it. I'd need a translation in more simple terms what all that actually means.
给行长拍手支持👏!shop
谢谢,回赞。
keep up the good work ,, respect , can you please use the tag #codeonsteem from next time you post any tools or tutorials ,, would be awesome
Thank you. Good idea!
i have applied for curator account and want to reward different level of developers and teachers on steem so we using the #codeonsteem

Please go to steem-engine.com.the last 24 hours block range by subtracting 206024
206024?
My math is terrible... 20 x 60 x 24😅
👍👏
