why use steem module and not beem module? many steem features are no longer up to date.
https://github.com/holgern/beem
beem is a bit more uptodate. what i noticed though when the api.steemit.com site was down, is that it relies even if you specify a different node, still on the steemit node, so when installing it from github you first have to replace all api.steemit.com in the sourcecode with a different API you trust.

also ive been trying to write posts and upvote using directly the API requests over the requests module to be able to update my code more flexibly and not rely on another steem user but i havent figured out yet how to correctly format the broadcast operation and i havent found anyone yet willing to help me....

but here is what i have for example to get the blog posts from your steem account:

import json
import ast
import requests
def query(node,data,tor):
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',}
if tor==False:
return requests.post(node,headers=headers, data=data)
else:
session=requests.session()
session.proxies={'http': 'socks5://127.0.0.1:9050', 'https': 'socks5://127.0.0.1:9050'}
return session.post(node,headers=headers, data=data, proxy=proxy)
def get_blog(name,nod,tor,start,end):
querry='{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"condenser_api.get_blog", "params":["'+name+'",'+str(start)+','+str(end)+'], "id":1}'
return dict(dict(json.loads(query(nod,querry,tor).text))["result"][0])

i havent tested yet (and i see now tht i comment some mistakes) if the tor function works yet, but when having the tor browser open and sending the traffic over local host port 9050 would usually send the traffic through the tor browser.

if someone were so kind and help me out how to correctly write a vote query broadcast operation i would be very grateful
