Hi steemit friends.
Very often I cannot really track the event someone upvotes a post from me. A popup comes up so fast or I cannot read it now and just click it away. So I had the idea to just write a script to list the latest upvotes on any of my posts.
I used the steem-python library. I wrote a simple python script that lists the latest upvotes and makes a .html file as a result.
The result
Hm...
Just looking at my upvotes may not be that fun. But we can easyly change the script and look for example at 
It looks like everybody is right now upvoting his newest steem-secret-7-appropriate-methods-to-ask-for-votes. It's an interesting post, you should read it too.
The code
The code starts with the creation of an account object with the account name
a = Account(ACCOUNT_NAME)
Read data from the account history. Apply the filter 'vote' as we're only interested in votes.
history_events = a.get_account_history(index=-1, limit=HISTORY_LIMIT, filter_by=['vote'], raw_output=True)
Then just loop over history and write a .html file (note: i simplified the code a bit for better readability).
file = open('check_upvotes_{}_{}.html'.format(ACCOUNT_NAME, timestamp), 'w')
file.write('<HTML-CONTENT-START>')
Get the data from the data object and apply a filter for self-votes ;-)
for event in history_events:
operation = event[1]['op'][0]
name = event[1]['op'][1]['voter']
link = event[1]['op'][1]['permlink']
time = event[1]['timestamp']
if (name != ACCOUNT_NAME):
file.write('<HTML-CONTENT-ROW>')
file.write('<HTML-CONTENT-END>')
file.close()
The script is on my github account: check_upvotes_html.py
This code runs you with python3 and steem-python must be installed. The constants ACCOUNT_NAME and HISTORY_LIMIT have to be adapted before you run the script yourself
Thanks for reading my post. It was fun further experimenting with the steem-python library. If you like this post please comment or upvote.
