Hello Steemians,
I believe it exists an elegant solution for the STEEM daily leaderboards statistics. Using @arhag's code and develop branch of steem, I could quickly set up a modified websocket server at ws://62.75.148.124:5090
Then rescanning every block and extract the rewards information.
Hourly/daily/weekly/monthly daily leaderboards statistics should be easy to get, for example:
We know that block number 5694547 has the timestamp: 2016-10-10T00:00:00 UTC.
Steem network has 20 blocks per minute, 20 * 60 = 1200 blocks per hour and 20 * 60 * 24 = 28800 blocks per day (These numbers are not always 100% correct because of network sometimes found block faster than it should and vice versa, but for the sake of simplify we just use these numbers, they are pretty close too).
Then to calculate the daily leaderboards stats for 10-October-2016, we scan from block 5694547 to block 5694547+28800 = 5723347.
My code could be seen at https://github.com/aizensou/steempayouts
It's very short and ugly code, less than 100 lines but it does the work.
To use, just install the dependency first (depends only on websocket)
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage of the script is simple too:
python steempayouts.py START_BLOCK END_BLOCK X
Where as: START_BLOCK is the block we want to start scanning and END_BLOCK is where to stop. X is needed for showing top X authors/curators/posts in that blocks range.
For the above example, we run:
python steempayouts.py 5694547 5723347 50
So it will get the entirely statistics for 10-October-2016, showing only top 50 stats boards, sorted by VESTS or SBD.
