🚀 Upgrading Hive Onboarding: From Snail Speed 🐌 to Lightning Fast ⚡️ with API Magic

Hello Hive Community Members! 👋🐝

Let’s dive into the latest happenings from the CheckinWithXyz project and how we've transformed the onboarding experience like a boss! 😎

🔙 Earlier Implementation: Snail Speed Mode

Before our API glow-up:

• Onboarding approvals were comment-based 🗨️
• Onboarders dropped comments on intro posts
• A cronjob on the server gobbled them later 📡
• Result? Long wait time ⏱️... like 2-3 minutes!
• Not very Hive-like when blocks are born every 3 seconds ⏳

That’s like delivering pizza with pigeons when drones are available! 🍕

🔁 New Flow: API-Driven Approvals for the Win!

To fix the delays, we moved to API-based approvals 💡

• Whitelisted onboarders can now approve directly via the app
• It fires off approval comment 💬 + instant reward 💰
• We now store approval details too (fancy, huh?) 🧠

🧑‍💻 Shoutout to @starkerz, @meno, @ecoinstant, @eddiespino & all the onboarders – they loved the upgrade! 💙

📊 Onboarding Reports: Data is the New Oil!

Now that we’re storing data, reports are possible 🎉

• Changes took effect from July 2025
• But wait! We did onboardings before that too 😮
• For example, at TalentLand, many Hive souls joined 🌱
• Sent reports to @starkerz, but they said, “Hey, some juicy details are missing!" 🕵️

🤓 Let's Write a Script & Hunt Down That Data!

Buckle up, it’s time for detective coding with Node.js! 🕵️‍♂️💻

✅ Step 1: Get Transfers

const dhive = require("@hiveio/dhive");

async function getTransfers(client, author, limit, start) {
  const op = dhive.utils.operationOrders;
  const operationsBitmask = dhive.utils.makeBitMaskFilter([op.transfer]);
  const records = await client.database.getAccountHistory(
    author,
    start,
    limit,
    operationsBitmask
  );
  return records;
}

exports.getTransfers = getTransfers;

This gets us the juicy transfer records from Hive 🍯

✅ Step 2: Fetch Transfers for threespeakselfie

async function updateCheckinRecords() {
  let transfers = await getTransfers(
    dhiveClient,
    "threespeakselfie",
    1000,
    -1
  );

Boom! 💥 Pulling the latest 1000 transactions 🎯

✅ Step 3: Filter the Right Kind of Transfers

Look for transfers that:
1. Are outgoing 💸
2. Have memos 🧾
3. Contain blog links 🔗

let onboardings = transfers
  .filter((r) => {
    return (
      r.op.from === "threespeakselfie" &&
      r.op.memo.length > 0 &&
      r.op.memo.includes("Your blog (https://hive.blog/@")
    );
  })

✅ Step 4: Shape the Data to Our Needs

Transform raw memos into onboarding records 📦

  .map((r) => {
    const memo = r.op.memo;
    const regex = /Your blog $$https:\/\/hive\.blog\/@(.+)\/(.+)$$/;
    const match = memo.match(regex);
    return {
      username: match,
      memo: r.op.memo,
      dateOfApproval: r.timestamp,
      permlink: match,
      status: "approved",
    }
  })

Now we have:
- ✅ Username
- ✅ Memo text
- ✅ Approval timestamp
- ✅ Permlink

Smells like reporting gold 🪙✨

✅ Step 5: Find Out Who Did the Onboarding

Since transfer doesn’t tell us who approved, we gotta extract it from the post’s title 🎯

for (const item of onboardings) {
  try {
    const postDetails = await dhiveClient.database.call('get_content', [item.username, item.permlink]);
    const title = postDetails.title || "No Title";
    const regex = "by @(.+)";
    const match = title.match(regex);
    const onboarder = match ? match : "unknown";

Boom! 🧙‍♂️ We got their names from the shadows (aka post titles).

🎯 Wrapping Up

Thanks to this script, we were able to recover all missing onboarding data 🛠️
It’s now updated in our backend database, making reporting & tracking future-proof! ✅📊

Next up: Work on the front-end! 🎨🖥️

🙏 Thank You!

That's it for now, folks! Thanks for scrolling all the way down 🙌

💙 More power to the Hive Blockchain 🐝
💪 More power to all our community members
🚀 Until next time, Happy Coding! 💻✨
