beempy is a convenient CLI utility that enables you to manage your wallet, transfer funds, check balances and more.
beempy lets you leverage your BIP38 encrypted wallet to perform various actions on your accounts.
The first time you use beempy, you will be prompted to enter a password. This password will be used to encrypt the beempy wallet, which contains your private keys.
You can change the password via changewalletpassphrase command.
beempy changewalletpassphrase
From this point on, every time an action requires your private keys, you will be prompted ot enter this password (from CLI as well as while using steem library).
To bypass password entry, you can set an environment variable UNLOCK.
UNLOCK=mysecretpassword beempy transfer <recipient_name> 100 STEEM
A key_file.json can be used to provide private keys to beempy:
{
"account_a": {"posting": "5xx", "active": "5xx"},
"account_b": {"posting": "5xx"},
}
with
beempy --keys key_file.json command
When set, the wallet cannot be used.
First, you may like to import your Steem account:
beempy importaccount
You can also import individual private keys:
beempy addkey <private_key>
Listing accounts:
beempy listaccounts
Show balances:
beempy balance account_name1 account_name2
Sending funds:
beempy transfer --account <account_name> <recipient_name> 100 STEEM memo
Upvoting a post:
beempy upvote --account <account_name> https://steemit.com/funny/@mynameisbrian/the-content-stand-a-comic
For a more convenient use of beempy as well as the beem library, you can set some defaults.
This is especially useful if you have a single Steem account.
beempy set default_account test beempy set default_vote_weight 100 beempy config +---------------------+--------+ | Key | Value | +---------------------+--------+ | default_account | test | | default_vote_weight | 100 | +---------------------+--------+
If you've set up your default_account, you can now send funds by omitting this field:
beempy transfer <recipient_name> 100 STEEM memo
