PHP Steem Tools - An Open Source Library For The Steem Blockchain

PHP is still a widely used programming language. It powers WordPress, which, in turns, powers hundreds of millions of websites.

I decided to open source parts of the code I used when I created steem.supply, namely the formalizable parts, in an Open Source library called PHP Steem Tools.

PHP Steem Tools wants to be a wrapper on top of a few APIs, including, but not limited to the Steem blockchain API.

Currently, it is packaged as a composer module and it has the following features:

• alternative transport: cURL / websocket
• get user JSON data
• get current prices for Steem / SBD from coinmarketcap.com
• converts vests to Steem Power
• access the following endpoints:
  -- get_discussions_by_author_before_date,
  -- get_replies_by_last_update,
  -- get_current_median_history_price
  -- get_content
  -- get_content_replies
  -- get_discussions_by_comments
  -- get_account_votes
  -- get_account_history
  -- get_followers
  -- lookup_accounts
  -- get_accounts
  -- get_api_by_name
  -- get_dynamic_global_properties

In Steem.Supply this library is used as modules in a CodeIgniter setup. Steem Supply screenshots
