## Let's start 
#### 1- Create a file called settings.py

first we create a file called settings.py , into this file we will write our small settings for our bot.


```
from steem import Steem

class Keys:
    accounts = [
        {"username":"username","weight":100,"min_bid":20,"voting_power":80,"posting_key":"posting_key"},
    ]
    
    keys = [account["posting_key"] for account in accounts]

STEEM = Steem(nodes=['https://api.steemit.com'],keys = Keys.keys)

MINUTE_MAX = 32

MINUTE_MIN = 30
```

let me explain the codes

- we first included our Steem library into our project 
- and created a class called Keys ,purpose of this class enter the accounts and some accounts' information.
- You can add as many accounts as you want to the accounts variable
- On this line ( STEEM = Steem(nodes=['https://api.steemit.com'],keys = Keys.keys))
    We have set up the steem node and assigned the account keys
- minute settings means that the minimum and maximum minutes information for our upvote

--------

#### 2- Create a file called main.py

- first we will use it in our project and add libraries and variables.

```
from steem.post import Post
from steem.account import Account

import requests
import json
import time
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

from settings import STEEM,Keys,MINUTE_MAX,MINUTE_MIN
```
- we will use API to attract bids sent to bots, [steembottracker api](https://steembottracker.net/posts)

write a function for it name get_bids

```
def get_bids():
    steembottrackerurl = "https://steembottracker.net/posts"
    r = requests.get(steembottrackerurl)
    for i in r.json():
        yield dict(
        amount = i["amount"],
        currency = i["currency"],
        author = i["author"],
        permlink = i["permlink"],
        )
```

- Now it's time to code up to get upvote

```
def upvote(post):
    voters_list = [i["voter"] for i in STEEM.get_active_votes(post.author, post.permlink)]
    post_url = "@"+post.author+"/"+post.permlink
    voted = {}
    for account in Keys.accounts:
        username = account["username"]
        weight = float(account["weight"])
        output = {"status":False,"user":username,"note":"already voted","post_url":post_url}
        try:
            post.vote(weight,username)
            output.update(status = True,note = "voted")
        except:
            output.update(note = "Unknown")
        yield output
```

- and the last part that sends the upvote request, which looks at incoming offers, accounts, share times.

```
def run():
    ready_users = []
    for user in Keys.accounts:
        user_voting_power = Account(user["username"], steemd_instance = STEEM).voting_power()
        print("user_voting_power",user["username"],user_voting_power)
        if user_voting_power > user["voting_power"]:
            ready_users.append(user)
    for bid in get_bids():
        for user in ready_users:
            if float(bid["amount"]) >= user["min_bid"]:
                post_url = "@"+bid["author"]+"/"+bid["permlink"]
                post = Post(post = post_url, steemd_instance = STEEM)
                post_time_elapse = post.time_elapsed()
                days = post_time_elapse.days
                seconds = post_time_elapse.seconds
                minute = round(seconds/60,4)
                if days == 0:
                    print(user["username"],minute,post_url)
                    if MINUTE_MAX < 32 and MINUTE_MIN >= 30:
                        for up in upvote(post):
                            yield up
```
