# 🚀 Cross-Posting to Hive, Blurt, and Steemit – Automatically with PEK Support!
We’ve officially created a unified cross-poster that lets us publish a single post to Hive, Blurt, and Steemit—all at once, using one script.
But that’s not all. Every time we post, it automatically buys a small amount of PEK token on Hive Engine to support the PeakeCoin ecosystem.
🧩 What This Does
- ✅ Posts the same content to Hive, Blurt, and Steemit
- ✅ Uses hive-nectar and nectarengine for seamless Hive and Blurt interaction
- ✅ Handles Steemit via direct API
- ✅ Automatically buys 0.0000001 PEK tokens every time we post
- ✅ Logs all results locally and shows URLs of published posts
- ✅ Shows Voting Power and Resource Credits for each platform
- ✅ Adds self-upvotes and supports beneficiary splits if needed
🔐 How It Works
poster = CrossPlatformPoster()
poster.setup_platforms(credentials)
poster.create_post(title, body, tags)
This little object does a LOT:
- Checks and configures connections to Hive, Blurt, and Steem
- Buys PEK tokens using Hive Engine API
- Builds the post and pushes it to each platform
- Returns the result per platform
- Optionally includes beneficiaries and metadata
💸 PEK Token Integration
- Auto-purchase amount:
0.0000001 PEK - Market data fetched from Hive Engine
- Purchase executed at slightly above the lowest ask to ensure fill
- Supports the PeakeCoin ecosystem every time content is posted
⚙️ Technical Highlights
- Built with:
hive-nectarnectarengine- Hive Engine market API
- Compatible with
requests,beem,hiveengine, and fallback methods - All posts are created with markdown and optional
beneficiaries - Custom permlink generation avoids collisions
🧠 Sample Output
Creating cross-platform post...
HIVE: ✅ Success
BLURT: ✅ Success
STEEM: ✅ Success
Post URLs:

# Hello from CrossPoster with Nectar & PEK! 🚀💰
This is a test post created using the cross-platform posting script with **hive-nectar** and **nectarengine** APIs, now featuring automatic **PEK token purchases**!
## New Features with Nectar & PEK Integration:
- ✅ **Fast Performance**: Optimized blockchain interactions
- ✅ **Native Hive Support**: Built specifically for Hive ecosystem
- ✅ **Blurt Compatibility**: Full support via NectarEngine
- ✅ **Modern Architecture**: Clean, efficient API design
- ✅ **Enhanced Reliability**: Better error handling and node management
- 🪙 **Automatic PEK Purchases**: Buys 0.0000001 PEK tokens with every post!
## PEK Token Integration:
- **Auto-Purchase**: Every time you use this cross-poster, it automatically buys 0.0000001 PEK tokens
- **Market Integration**: Uses Hive Engine API to get current market prices
- **Smart Execution**: Places buy orders at competitive prices to ensure execution
- **Supporting PeakeCoin**: Helps support the PEK token ecosystem with micro-purchases
## Technical Improvements:
- **Hive**: Uses hive-nectar for native Hive blockchain operations + Hive Engine integration
- **Blurt**: Uses nectarengine for efficient Blurt interactions
- **Steem**: Direct API integration for legacy compatibility
- **Resource Monitoring**: Real-time VP and RC checking
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive exception management
- **PEK Market Data**: Real-time PEK token price and volume information
### Performance Benefits:
1. **Faster posting** - Optimized transaction broadcasting
2. **Better connectivity** - Smart node selection and failover
3. **Lower resource usage** - Efficient memory and CPU utilization
4. **Enhanced stability** - Robust error recovery mechanisms
5. **Automatic PEK support** - Seamless token purchase integration
### PEK Token Features:
- 💹 **Market Price Discovery**: Real-time price checking
- 🎯 **Smart Order Placement**: Competitive pricing for execution
- 📊 **Market Information**: Volume, bid/ask spread monitoring
- 💰 **Micro-Investment**: Small, consistent PEK accumulation
Happy posting to the decentralized web with PEK support! 🌐✨💎
