RE: Live Coding Javascript Steem-js

in #livecoding • 7 years ago

Hey! I've been following your tutorials! Great content... thank you so much for helping devleopers gets aquanited with the steem-js API

I have a quick question about steem-js:

Does anyone know how to obtain the tags used by a spcefic account? I noticed with the API call for 'getAccounts' there is an array called 'tags_usage'; however, for every account I look at the array is empty... 'tags_usage: []'.

    There are a lot of fields like that. They were used at one point, but are deprecated now and no longer contain the data you need. I recommend using account history. https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@r351574nc3/tutorial-viewing-steemit-account-history

    You will want to

    1. iterate through the history for commentoperation.
    2. look for json_metadata for each comment
    3. Pull tags from json_metadata. Here's an example of json_metadata.
    operations: [
    [ "comment",
        {
            "json_metadata": "{ \"tags\": [ \"blog\" ], \"app\": \"steemit/1.0\" }"
        }
    ]
]

    Hope that helps.
