I use [Lightsteem](https://lightsteem.readthedocs.io) to test and query Hivemind endpoints. Structure-wise, Hive's RPC server part is compatible with the steemd RPC nodes. So, it's a simple configuration touch.

# condenser_api

Example to get followers of an account:

```
from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])
followers = c.get_followers("emrebeyler", "", "blog", 10)
print(followers)
```
***
You can find the list of methods [here](https://steemit.com/hivemind/@emrebeyler/introducing-a-public-hivemind-node).

# hive_api


- Example to get the database head state

```
from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])
head_state = c('hive').db_head_state()
print(head_state)
```
***

Output:

```
{'db_head_block': 29371204,
 'db_head_time': '2019-01-11 20:15:51',
 'db_head_age': 10}
```
***
- Auto-complete endpoint

```
from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])

# search for accounts starting with dpoll, 
# from emrebeyler's perspective.

accounts = c('hive').get_accounts_ac(["dpoll", "emrebeyler"])

print(accounts)
```
***

Output:

- get_accounts

print(accounts)

For the Beem fans, it's also possible with Beem's [internal GrapheneRPC client](https://steemit.com/hivemind/@holger80/re-isnochys-re-emrebeyler-introducing-a-public-hivemind-node-20190110t215153601z).
