I have introduced the [steemconnect-python-client](https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@emrebeyler/python-client-of-steemconnect-api) last week and it got amazing feedbacks and today, we have a new version fully support SteemConnect api.

### New Features

#### 1. Revoking the access token

This method revokes the passed access token. You may need to revoke tokens if

- the user don't want to authorize with your application any more
- if the token is compromised or behaving malicious
- you want to disable all tokens for the application

etc.

Usage:

```
client.revoke_token("access_token")
```

#### 2. Updating user metadata

This method uses the /me endpoint listed at sc2 api. You can update the users' profile with this helper method:


```
metadata = {
    "profile": {
        "name": "Emre", 
        "location": "Istanbul, Turkey",
        "about": "Developer, STEEM witness.",
        "profile_image": "http://foo.bar/image.png"
    }
}

resp = self.c.update_user_metadata(metadata)
```

Note: This method requires ```client.access_token```.

#### 3. Hot Signing Links

hot\_sign() method creates a SteemConnect specific URL which you can redirect users and expect them 
to broadcast operations are not supported in the api. (transfer, create_delegation, etc.)

It has an optional **redirect_uri** parameter. If you pass that information, SteemConnect will redirect 
the user to that URL after the operation succeeds.

Example usage:

```
url = self.c.hot_sign(
    "transfer",
    {
        "to": "emreberyler",
        "amount": "0.001 SBD",
        "memo": "Donation",
    },
    redirect_uri="http://localhost"
)
```

This will generate [this URL](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/transfer?to=emrebeyler&amount=1+SBD&memo=Donation), (which sends 1 SBD to me with a memo as "Donation".)

***

With this change, steem-connect-python client supports everything for SteemConnect and it's fully compatible with [steemconnect-js-sdk](https://github.com/steemit/steemconnect-sdk).

### Bonus

I have also added a simple [Flask application](https://github.com/emre/steemconnect-python-client/tree/master/examples) to demonstrate login logic with SteemConnect.

#### Roadmap

Library is on a mature state at the moment. All endpoints are supported. I am not %100 happy with the wrapping on operations type for /broadcast api.

I will probably work on that for the next release.

#### How to contribute

Contribution process is same with any other open-source project. You can checkout [open issues](https://github.com/emre/steemconnect-python-client/issues) at Github and can start working on it. Just make sure, you will comment on the related issue before starting working on it.

Also, run unit tests before creating a pull request and make sure it's all green.

#### How to update to 0.0.2?

```
$ (sudo) pip install -U steemconnect
```
