[Python] Use Hive2Vests to get list of Witnesses by HP Votes

Hello Hivers,

We all know converting Vests to Hive can be very confusing, but this issue is particularly annoying for witnesses who want to calculate their received votes and witness rank.

I thought this would make the perfect example of how we can use HIVE2VESTS API to get the list of current witnesses sorted by Hive Power.

This tutorial uses the very simple yet powerfull LightHive python client (Thanks again Hive account@emrebeyler), so you would first need to create an environment, install lighthive and activate it.

python3 -m venv env
pip install lighthive
source env/bin/activate

You can then open your favorite editor to create the script witness_list.py:

sudo nano witness_list.py

Copy and paste this script inside it:

from lighthive.client import Client
import json
import requests as r

client = Client()
witness_list = client.get_witnesses_by_vote(None, 125)
count = 0

for witness in witness_list:
    count = count + 1
    account = witness['owner']
    votes = witness['votes']
    hive2vest= r.get('https://hive2vests.chitty.me/api?vests={}'.format(votes)).json()
    votes = float(hive2vest['HIVE']) / 1000000
    votes = "{:,.0f}".format(votes)
    print('{} @{} {} Votes'.format(count, account, votes))

Exit the editor, save the file and run it with:

python witness_list.py

And thats it! you will get the witness list sorted by their Hive Power votes, this is useful for those witnesses who wish to know how many votes they need to move up the rank.
