Yesterday I was blown away as I read @emrebeyler post about the launch of his new [Hivemind API](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@emrebeyler/tower-a-rest-api-implementation-on-the-top-of-hivemind).

You could of course head over to [tower.emrebeyler.me](https://tower.emrebeyler.me) and play with the very simple to use Graphic Interface that @emrebeyler has built for us, but if you want to do some development I found that the simplest way for me was to query his API to fetch a result, then you could turn that result into a variable and do all sort of things with it. 

In this guide I will provide two examples of how we could get:

1.- The number 1 account in Venezuela sorted by Followers.

2.- The account in Venezuela with the most reputation.

We all know Venezuela is pretty big in Steemit, but lets find out who is the king!

# Fetch account by Location and Followers

To know what URL you should use for your query, you can go to [tower.emrebeyler.me](https://tower.emrebeyler.me), pick the filters that you wish to look for and then paste the output after the https://tower.emrebeyler.me/ domain :

![Captura de pantalla 2019-01-18 a la(s) 16.05.10.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQH8QTX2NsZyhSBtz5b4Hd6tKhRN4Xp1D8arKTM1bmnGh/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202019-01-18%20a%20la(s)%2016.05.10.png)

So the url you want to use is: [https://tower.emrebeyler.me/api/v1/accounts/?limit=1&location__contains=Venezuela&ordering=-followers](https://tower.emrebeyler.me)
The minus sign (-) before "followers" specifies that we want the result ordered by the account with most followers first. 

So, our python3 script would look something like this:

````
from urllib.request import urlopen
import json

url = urlopen('https://tower.emrebeyler.me/api/v1/accounts/?limit=10&location__contains=enezuela&ordering=-followers').read()
result = json.loads(url)

one = result['results'][0]["name"]

fone = result['results'][0]["followers"]

print (one, fone)
````

What we are doing is basically querying the .json output that can be very long and hard to understand into a simple python script that would give us the account with most followers in Venezuela, this is the result:

`provenezuela 6094`

So with more that 6k followers we now know that @provenezuela is the king of Steemit followers in Venezuela, but how about the account with most rep? - well I was excited to see the result of this since its an old friend of mine in Steemit :)

We will use the exact same code but we will only change the "followers" parameter and change it for "reputation":

````
from urllib.request import urlopen
import json

url = urlopen('https://tower.emrebeyler.me/api/v1/accounts/?limit=10&location__contains=enezuela&ordering=-reputation').read()
result = json.loads(url)

one = result['results'][0]["name"]

fone = result['results'][0]["reputation"]

print (one, fone)
````

And the outcome is...

`elyaque 70.34`

My man @elyaque who is an old-timer in Steemit has an amazing 70.34 rep! 

So, with a little bit of magic and a bit more code, you could use this outputs to follow certain accounts, send a message to them or vote for their latest post. I have created a personal [Python-Steem repository on GitHub](https://github.com/PixelNoob/python-steem) with some very simple scripts that would allow you to do just that. Feel free to check it out, fork it and contribute.
