As a result, the single price fetch function <code>get_price would still fetch the price of SBD via <code>get_price SBD*, but attempts to fetch multiple feeds would fail, as was the case with <code>balances.sh for fetching user balance information, and <code>graphprices.sh which graphs a set of specified crypto currency values. The result is that both of these scripts broke. This actually revealed that there was another bug in <code>functions.sh, namely, the fetched crypo price names were not being properly quoted when they were extracted from the JSON result. <ul> <li>What was the solution?<br /> The solution was to update <code>functions.sh, <code>graphprices.sh, and <code>balances.sh in the following ways: <ol> <li><p dir="auto">Add variables for <code>SBD_TICKER and <code>STEEM_TICKER (with values <code>SBD* and <code>STEEM respectively,) to account for any future arbitrary changes to the tickers as used by CryptoCompare and replace all naked references to "SBD" with <code>${SBD_TICKER}, and all naked references to "STEEM" with <code>${STEEM_TIKER}. <li><p dir="auto">Ensure all invocations of <code>jq for extracting ticker values from the results JSON made use of proper quoting around the respective variables. For example, <code>graphprices.sh, for fetching the and graphing arbitrary crypto currencies used to have code like the following: <pre><code> echo -n " $(jq -r ".${COIN}.${CURRENCY}" <<< $PRICES)" <p dir="auto">This function (and others) now includes code like the following: <pre><code> echo -n " $(jq -r ".\"${COIN}\".\"${CURRENCY}\"" <<< $PRICES)" <h3>New Features <p dir="auto">New feature additions were interrupted by the seemingly innocuous bug fixes, but this commit did include the addition of the following APIs: <ul> <li><code>rpc_get_miner_queue() <li><code>rpc_get_next_scheduled_hardfork() <li><code>rpc_get_open_orders() <li><code>rpc_get_ops_in_block() <li><code>rpc_get_state() <li><code>rpc_get_tags_used_by_author() <p dir="auto">These functions were generally added by wrapping the <code>rpc_invoke method, calling the appropriate back-end method, and preparing any arguments (which weren't very well documented at the time the implementation was completed, so it required quite a bit of trial and error.) <h4>GitHub Account <p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://github.com/not-a-bird" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://github.com/not-a-bird
