Today, I was wondering why I was getting different results by using different nodes.
from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
from beem.amount import Amount
if __name__ == "__main__":
stm = Steem(node="https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org")
stm = Steem(node="https://api.steemit.com")
acc = Account("steembasicincome", steem_instance=stm)
for h in acc.history(start=289250, only_ops=["transfer"], use_block_num=False):
print("%d - %s transfer %s to %s - %s" % (h["index"], h["from"], str(Amount(h["amount"], steem_instance=stm)), acc["name"], str(h["timestamp"])))
When I run the script with https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org:
289481 - nateonsteemit transfer 5.000 STEEM to steembasicincome - 2018-12-19T16:35:21
289484 - nateonsteemit transfer 3.000 STEEM to steembasicincome - 2018-12-19T16:39:36
When I use https://api.steemit.com:

289762 - nateonsteemit transfer 3.000 STEEM to steembasicincome - 2018-12-19T16:39:36
So, using the history account index for receiving new account transactions is not a good idea. The index is calculated within the node and it is not reliable.
