RE: Would you like to see whats up with STEEM?
Technically views are not on the blockchain, but in a steemit.com database. I could try getting that information by scraping steemit.com, however I'd like to wait a little longer to see if steemit will include this data in their upcoming data services.
Bot detection is a non-trivial problem. Our view counter is relatively naive and likely includes many bots, too. It's a vanity metric.
Our planned data services are blockchain-only, just like yours.
Check https://steemdb.com/ @jesta might be capturing it. (or he might be willing to)
