# Steem Developer Portal

### RB: Blog Feed

This example will output blog details to the terminal for the author specified, limited to five results.

Full, runnable src of Blog Feed can be downloaded as part of the RB tutorials repository.

### Script

The script parses the creation date, assuming Zulu timezone (AKA UTC).

The output will be the latest five posts/reblogs for the account specified. If the author is the same as the account specified, it is assumed to be a post by this account. Otherwise, it is assumed to be a reblog.

It also counts the words in the content body by splitting the text into an array of strings, delimited by whitespace.

Finally, it creates the canonical URL by combining `parent_permlink`, `author`, and `permlink`.

### To Run

First, set up your workstation using the steps provided in Getting Started. Then you can create and execute the script (or clone from this repository):

    git clone git@github.com:steemit/devportal-tutorials-rb.git
    cd devportal-tutorials-rb/tutorials/01_blog_feed
    bundle install
    ruby blog_feed.rb steemitblog
