Tutorials

This section collects hands-on usage examples for the two official Steem client libraries. Every example was migrated from the libraries' own documentation, and the demos are runnable against a public node such as https://api.steemit.com.

The libraries

Library	Language	Package / module	Repository
steem-js	JavaScript / TypeScript	npm package @steemit/steem-js 1.2.4	steemit/steem-js
steemgosdk	Go	Go module github.com/steemit/steemgosdk	steemit/steemgosdk

Both libraries talk to the same JSON-RPC API that the generated API Reference documents, method by method. Use the tutorials to learn the client-side patterns; use the API Reference for the on-the-wire details of every method.

steem-js pages

• Getting started - installation, browser usage, configuration (config.set, api.setUrl, setOptions, multiple API instances), JSON-RPC overview, API routing, end-to-end usage examples, TypeScript support and error handling.
• Reading chain data - every read helper: tags, blog and discussions, blocks, global properties, accounts, market, votes, content, witnesses, plus the login/follow helpers and the offline authentication, formatter and utils utilities.
• Broadcasting operations - the full steem.broadcast operation catalogue, promise/callback patterns, multisig and binary transaction serialization.
• Signed calls and signature verification - authenticated signedCall requests and the signature verification toolkit, with the complete example guides.
• RPC auth test migration - how the rpc-auth test suite was migrated into steem-js.

steemgosdk pages

• Getting started - client setup, chain-reading API examples, key-generation auth examples and Steem URI signing examples.
• Broadcasting operations - votes, transfers, comments, comment options with beneficiaries, multi-operation transactions and custom_json broadcasts, plus complete end-to-end examples.
• SignedCall API - authenticated JSON-RPC calls from Go, interoperable with steem-js signed calls.

Notes

• The tutorials are English-only for now, mirroring the Guides section.
• Examples reference well-known test keys from the libraries' own documentation; never use them in production - generate your own keys as shown in the auth examples.
