esearch-api

Search API for Hive content. It powers search, tag/related-post discovery and the document counter behind hivesearcher.com and Ecency, querying an Elasticsearch index of posts and comments.

A small Flask + gunicorn app exposing:

EndpointMethodPurpose
/searchPOSTFull-text search (scroll pagination)
/search-pagedPOSTFull-text search (page-number pagination)
/similarPOST"Read next" / related posts (More Like This)
/search-pathPOSTResolve author/permlink paths
/search-follower/<account>, /search-following/<account>GETFollow-graph lookups
/statsGETIndex document count
/stateGETAPI-key usage / daily limit

Full request/response reference: hivesearcher.com/api-docs.

Search ranking

/search and /search-paged accept a sort parameter:

  • relevance (default) — BM25 text relevance weighted by post value, so genuinely useful posts outrank bare keyword matches that have no engagement.
  • popularity — fresh and valuable: relevance multiplied by payout and a 30-day recency decay, while staying on-topic.
  • newest — most recent first.

Spam (grayed / heavily-flagged) and NSFW content are filtered out by default; pass include_nsfw: 1 to opt in.

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • Elasticsearch 8.x (the post index)
  • PostgreSQL (API keys + request logs, and the eSync DB for path/follow lookups)

Configuration

All settings come from environment variables, conventionally placed in a gitignored env.sh. Copy the example and fill it in:

cp env.sh.example env.sh
VariableRequiredDescription
ES_URIyesElasticsearch URL
ES_INDEXyesPost index name
ES_USER / ES_PASSnoElasticsearch basic auth
ES_CAnoCA cert path; set to verify TLS
DB_URIyesPostgreSQL — API keys & request logs
ESYNC_URIyesPostgreSQL — eSync DB (path / follower lookups)

Setup

python3 -m venv venv &&source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp env.sh.example env.sh # then edit

Running

set -a;source env.sh;set +a
# Development server (127.0.0.1:8089)
python run.py api
# Tests
python run.py test# Production (gunicorn)
PYTHONPATH=src gunicorn esearch_api.app:app --workers 4 --bind 127.0.0.1:5001 --timeout 60

Deployment

The service runs under gunicorn, managed by systemd. A unit sources env.sh and launches the app, e.g.:

[Service]WorkingDirectory=/opt/esearch-api/src
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'set -a; source /opt/esearch-api/env.sh; set +a; \ exec /opt/esearch-api/venv/bin/gunicorn esearch_api.app:app \ --workers 4 --bind 127.0.0.1:5001 --timeout 60'Restart=always

Deploying a new version:

git pull
source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt # only if deps changed
sudo systemctl restart esearch-api

Config lives in env.sh on the host (not in the repo), so it is preserved across deploys — a code update is just git pull + service restart.

esearch-api
Search API for Hive content. It powers search, tag/related-post discovery and
the document counter behind hivesearcher.com and
Ecency, querying an Elasticsearch index of posts and comments.
A small Flask + gunicorn app exposing:
EndpointMethodPurpose
/searchPOSTFull-text search (scroll pagination)
/search-pagedPOSTFull-text search (page-number pagination)
/similarPOST"Read next" / related posts (More Like This)
/search-pathPOSTResolve author/permlink paths
/search-follower/<account>, /search-following/<account>GETFollow-graph lookups
/statsGETIndex document count
/stateGETAPI-key usage / daily limit
Full request/response reference: hivesearcher.com/api-docs.
Search ranking
/search and /search-paged accept a sort parameter:
  • relevance (default) — BM25 text relevance weighted by post value, so
genuinely useful posts outrank bare keyword matches that have no engagement.
  • popularity — fresh and valuable: relevance multiplied by payout and a
30-day recency decay, while staying on-topic.
  • newest — most recent first.
Spam (grayed / heavily-flagged) and NSFW content are filtered out by default;
pass include_nsfw: 1 to opt in.
Requirements
  • Python 3.8+
  • Elasticsearch 8.x (the post index)
  • PostgreSQL (API keys + request logs, and the eSync DB for path/follow lookups)
Configuration
All settings come from environment variables, conventionally placed in a
gitignored env.sh. Copy the example and fill it in:
cp env.sh.example env.sh
VariableRequiredDescription
ES_URIyesElasticsearch URL
ES_INDEXyesPost index name
ES_USER / ES_PASSnoElasticsearch basic auth
ES_CAnoCA cert path; set to verify TLS
DB_URIyesPostgreSQL — API keys & request logs
ESYNC_URIyesPostgreSQL — eSync DB (path / follower lookups)
Setup
python3 -m venv venv &&source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp env.sh.example env.sh # then edit
Running
set -a;source env.sh;set +a
# Development server (127.0.0.1:8089)
python run.py api
# Tests
python run.py test# Production (gunicorn)
PYTHONPATH=src gunicorn esearch_api.app:app --workers 4 --bind 127.0.0.1:5001 --timeout 60
Deployment
The service runs under gunicorn, managed by systemd. A unit sources env.sh and
launches the app, e.g.:
[Service]WorkingDirectory=/opt/esearch-api/src
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'set -a; source /opt/esearch-api/env.sh; set +a; \ exec /opt/esearch-api/venv/bin/gunicorn esearch_api.app:app \ --workers 4 --bind 127.0.0.1:5001 --timeout 60'Restart=always
Deploying a new version:
git pull
source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt # only if deps changed
sudo systemctl restart esearch-api
Config lives in env.sh on the host (not in the repo), so it is preserved across
deploys — a code update is just git pull + service restart.
