Making the api call
To request the a list of accounts starting with a particular lookup pattern, we can use the lookup_accounts
method:
api = Radiator::Api.new
api.lookup_accounts(lower_bound_name, limit) do |accounts|
puts accounts.join(' ')
end
Notice, the above example can request up to 1000 accounts as an array.
Example api call
If we want to get the accounts starting with “alice” …
api.lookup_accounts("alice", 10) do |content| ...
Example api call using script
And to do the same with our tutorial script, which has its own default limit of 10:
ruby search_accounts.rb alice
Example Output
From the example we get the following output from our script:
alice alice-22 alice-is alice-labardo alice-mikhaylova alice-n-chains alice-radster alice-sandra alice-thuigh alice-way
To Run
First, set up your workstation using the steps provided in Getting Started. Then you can create and execute the script (or clone from this repository):
<lower-bound-name>
[limit]
(optional)
git clone git@github.com:steemit/devportal-tutorials-rb.git
cd devportal-tutorials-rb/tutorials/15_search_accounts
bundle install
ruby search_accounts.rb <lower-bound-name> [limit]
