Posts¶
Posts are unique data entries, that can be amended later on. Example of use:
- Events
- Blog posts
- Comments
- and many more…
Getting posts¶
To get posts you have two options, either use the get_posts function, and get the posts and their amends. Or use get_message and only get the unique POST messages (with their content obviously).
Creating a Post¶
Creating a post means creating a post object and wrapping it in a message. There is an helper for that: create_post.
>>> from aleph_client.synchronous import create_post
>>> create_post(account, {'content': 'test'}, post_type='testtype', channel='MY_CHANNEL')
{'chain': 'NULS2',
'channel': 'MY_CHANNEL',
'sender': 'NULSd6HgaaV62iEcTZSWoaTrA3U7Jr7Vv1nXS',
'type': 'POST',
'time': 1573570575.281997,
'item_content': '{"type":"testtype","address":"NULSd6HgaaV62iEcTZSWoaTrA3U7Jr7Vv1nXS","content":{"content":"test"},"time":1573570575.2818618}',
'item_hash': '02afdbf33ff2c6ddb46349298a4598a8801cec61dbaa8f3a17ba9d1ad6dd8cb1',
'signature': 'G7yJjMCPgvX04Dd9rsz0oEuuRFa4PfuKAMOPA3Oblf6vd5YA1x15jvWLL2WycnnzYLEl0usjTiVxBl530ZOmYgw='}
Asynchronous version is very similar:
from aleph_client.asynchronous import create_post
await create_post(...)
