Why to use dhive library?
- it robust hive client library written in javascript
- It runs in both node.js and the browser
- Auto switching api nodes
- Easy access to different APIs
How to install it in your node.js app?
- You can view npm package of
dhiveusing following link. - https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hiveio/dhive
- You can install dhive by running following command.
npm i @hiveio/dhive
How to initialize dhive client?
- I've created a separate file named
dhive_client.jsfile - Content of it are as follows.
- I've added multiple API endpoints.
var dhive = require("@hiveio/dhive");
var client = new dhive.Client([
"https://api.hive.blog",
"https://api.deathwing.me",
"https://hive-api.arcange.eu",
"https://hived.emre.sh",
"https://api.openhive.network",
"https://rpc.ausbit.dev",
"https://rpc.mahdiyari.info",
"https://hive-api.3speak.tv",
"https://techcoderx.com",
]);
module.exports = {
client,
};
How to fetch notifications of an account using dhive library?
- I would recommend creating a separate file
- I created
get_notifications.jsfile - Here are the content for it.
- NOTE: I tried sending limit above 100 & it failed.
- So, limit must not exceed 100.
async function getNotifications(client, account) {
try {
let data = await client.call("bridge", "account_notifications", {
account: account, //"sagarkothari88",
limit: 100,
});
return data;
} catch (e) {
return false;
}
}
module.exports = {
getNotifications,
};
- With above function in place, now you can easily getNotifications for any account.
- Note that, I've used
sagarkothari88as account name. - You can use any account name / hive user.
- It must not include
@sign. - If there is some error getting notifications, above function will simply return false.
const { client } = require("./dhive_client");
const { getNotifications } = require("./helper/get_notifications");
async function mainFunction() {
const account = "sagarkothari88";
const data = await getNotifications(client, account);
console.log(`Notifications data - ${JSON.stringify(data)}`);
}
mainFunction();
