I finally got somewhere with the the help of this:
https://github.com/steemit/steem-js/issues/256
steem.api.setOptions({ url: 'https://api.steemit.com' });
var query = {
tag: 'blockchain',
limit: 10
};
steem.api.getDiscussionsByTrending(query, function (err, discussions) {
console.log(err, discussions);
});```
Thanks! I will try this out!
It works like a charm for me. I think it really opens up the world for some automation even on a read-only basis.
Heres some good code snippets you might find interesting: https://github.com/drov0/steemsnippets
The fact that it's documented is music to my eyes :) Looking forward to sharing some of my scripts soon!
