Steempay API & Steem Open Mic UI

in #steempay7 years ago

A while back @kodaxx had asked me if i could implement a RESTful API for his awesome app Steempay . Me, being an overworked developer that is trying to keep my sanity, took forever to get it up and running, but it is live and chugging along in his new app.

It's fairly early on in the development lifecycle still, but the idea is to extend/build upon the existing Steempay API and allow specifically steempay a way to do it's specific functions, and hopefully be useful to others eventually who want to integrate a way to interact with the wallet features within their own applications.
Currently it can list a basic account history, get the steem, and steem dollar value of an account, as well as display the account value in USD for both steem, and steem dollars (as well as total combined USD -- AFAIK, not implemented in the app yet).
In the future, we are trying to figure out a way to handle payments securely, as well as potentially add some wrappers into the system to track usage. We'll also probably end up adding API keys to track usage for non-steempay applications.

I know @kodaxx has already envisioned a JS wrapper API library that you can use to embed the same features he's using in his app, in your web project.


I've also been cooking up an interface for steem open mic night. It's something I think can really benefit the community, and I apologize to @luzcypher for being slow to get things done. It's been a really fun project, and has pushed me to learn and do some interesting things I've not done before. In the next week or so I'm going to put up a very early (let's call it alpha) version to get some feedback from the community, so stay tuned for an update.

For a full time developer/business owner, I've got a lot of side projects, and honestly, my life is pretty exhausting right now, but I am loving it! If anyone figures out how to cram some more productivity into my day, please let me know. Also if anyone is interested in helping out on the code, please let me know, or drop a PR.
