RE: Upcoming Changes to api.steemit.com

So if I use steemit.js with a call like steem.api.getState how do I go about converting/updating.
This couldn't have come at a worse time for me as I'm moving house. Will probably have to put @steeming-hot out of action for a while

You should first see if your app works with getState on api.steemitdev.com. If it does, you're good. If not, this is how to switch if you were using dsteem:

But the general point is, if you use their getState(‘witnesses’), use databaseAPI.call('get_witnesses_by_vote', ['', 10]) instead.

Hey thanks @inertia I don't think I will have to modify the code as i use steem.api.getState('@username/blog', function(err, result)

Guess I will find out next weekend :)

Why wait?

All you do is change the endpoint from api.steemit.com to api.stemitdev.com and make sure your scripts still work :-)

So I'm guessing as long as I pull the steem.js file from the steemit cdn it should update accordingly

There are API changes coming soon. Data served will be slightly different. You can be proactive and test the new results now by using api.stemitdev.com or just wait until api.steemit.com switches over and see if anything breaks.
