Javascript (NodeJS) Function to Get the Downvote Power of Account on Steem Blockchain

Accounts on Steem Blockchain have daily “Free” Downvote Power – which has 20% of the upvoting Mana. We can use the following Javascript/NodeJs function to calculate the downvote power.

We can access the “last” seen downvote mana and the timestamp in the getAccounts API – then we need to calculate the mana restored since the timestamp.

And by using async/await, you can await getting the downvote power in a function that is marked async.

function getDownvotePower(id) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        steem.api.getAccounts([id], function(err, response) {
            if (err) reject(err);
            const current_mana = response[0].voting_manabar.current_mana;
            const downvote_mana = response[0].downvote_manabar.current_mana;
            const downvote_last_update_time = response[0].downvote_manabar.last_update_time;
            const downvote_per = downvote_mana / (current_mana / (response[0].voting_power / 100) / 4);          
            const secondsago = (new Date - new Date(downvote_last_update_time * 1000)) / 1000;
            let vpow = downvote_per * 100 + (10000 * secondsago / 432000);
            resolve(Math.min(vpow / 100, 100).toFixed(2));
        });          
    });
}
 
// Sample Usage
(async function() {
    const val = await getDownvotePower('justyy');
    log(val);
})();

function getDownvotePower(id) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        steem.api.getAccounts([id], function(err, response) {
            if (err) reject(err);
            const current_mana = response[0].voting_manabar.current_mana;
            const downvote_mana = response[0].downvote_manabar.current_mana;
            const downvote_last_update_time = response[0].downvote_manabar.last_update_time;
            const downvote_per = downvote_mana / (current_mana / (response[0].voting_power / 100) / 4);          
            const secondsago = (new Date - new Date(downvote_last_update_time * 1000)) / 1000;
            let vpow = downvote_per * 100 + (10000 * secondsago / 432000);
            resolve(Math.min(vpow / 100, 100).toFixed(2));
        });          
    });
