^{Hive programming in Python,
by Stable Diffusion AI}

I have tried beem earlier, and currently using the LightHive library created by @emrebeyler, but I seem to have similar problems with both libraries.

I took the example from the lighthive documentation, and only slightly altered it, only changing the account name, and taking away all references to 'binance'.

Modified example code below:

import datetime

from lighthive.client import Client
from lighthive.helpers.amount import Amount

client = Client()
account = client.account('gamer00')

one_week_ago = datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(days=7)
total_hive = 0
for op in account.history(
        stop_at=one_week_ago,
        filter=["transfer"]):

    if op["to"] == "gamer00":
        continue

    total_hive += Amount(op["amount"]).amount

print("Total HIVE transfers received", total_hive)

However, when I try to run the script, I keep constantly getting this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ambience/Projects/Code/Python/Hive/transactions/minimal/lighthive-fetch.py", line 11, in <module>
    for op in account.history(
  File "/home/ambience/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/lighthive/helpers/account.py", line 77, in history
    max_index = self.client.get_account_history(account, -1, 0)[0][0]
  File "/home/ambience/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/lighthive/client.py", line 61, in callable
    return self.request(attr, *args, **kwargs)

    self.validate_response(response)
  File "/home/ambience/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/lighthive/client.py", line 190, in validate_response
    raise RPCNodeException(
lighthive.exceptions.RPCNodeException: Assert Exception:args.start >= args.limit-1: start must be greater than or equal to limit-1 (start is 0-based index)

I now know that the searches are basically done in reverse, since it's a blockchain, and starting the reading from the beginning would be too resource intensive for anything more recent. However there being a parameter 'order', I guess this can be changed. The default seems to be a reverse search.

But since I didn't have any 'start_at' definitions in my code, I don't get why the error message.

Can you help me?
