+Helpers
+=================================
+
+Lightsteem has a target to define helper classes for well known blockchain objects. This is
+designed in that way to prevent code repeat on client (library user) side.
+
+It's possible to use lightsteem for just a client. However, if you need to get an
+account's history, or get followers of account, you may use the helpers module.
+
+Account helper
+=================================
+
+This class defines an Account in the STEEM blockchain.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+    c = Client()
+    account = c.get_account('emrebeyler')
+
+When you execute that script in your REPL, lightsteem makes a RPC call to get the account data
+from the blockchain. Once you initialized the Account instance, you have access to these helper methods:
+
+Getting account history
+-----------------------------------
+
+With this method, you can traverse entire history of a STEEM account.
+
+.. function:: history(self, account=None, limit=1000, filter=None, exclude=None,
+                        order="desc", only_operation_data=True,
+                        start_at=None, stop_at=None):
+
+    :param account: (string) The username.
+    :param limit: (integer) Batch size per call.
+    :param filter: (list:string) Operation types to filter
+    :param exclude: (list:s tring) Operation types to exclude
+    :param order: (string) asc or desc.
+    :param only_operation_data: (bool) If false, returns in the raw format. (Includes transaction information.)
+    :param start_at: (datetime.datetime) Starts after that time to process ops.
+    :param stop_at: (datetime.datetime) Stops at that time while processing ops.
+
+account_history is an important call for the STEEM applications. A few use cases:
+
+- Getting incoming delegations
+- Filtering transfers on specific accounts
+- Getting author, curation rewards
+
+etc.
+
+**Example: Get all incoming STEEM of binance account in the last 7 days**
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import datetime
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+    from lightsteem.helpers.amount import Amount
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('deepcrypto8')
+
+    one_week_ago = datetime.datetime.utcnow() -
+        datetime.timedelta(days=7)
+    total_steem = 0
+    for op in account.history(
+            stop_at=one_week_ago,
+            filter=["transfer"]):
+
+        if op["to"] != "deepcrypto8":
+            continue
+
+        total_steem += Amount(op["amount"]).amount
+
+    print("Total STEEM deposited to Binance", total_steem)
+
+
+Getting account followers
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('deepcrypto8')
+
+    print(account.followers())
+
+Output will be a list of usernames. (string)
+
+
+Getting account followings
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('emrebeyler')
+
+    print(account.following())
+
+Output will be a list of usernames. (string)
+
+Getting account ignorers (Muters)
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('emrebeyler')
+
+    print(account.ignorers())
+
+
+Getting account ignorings (Muted list)
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('emrebeyler')
+
+    print(account.ignorings())
+
+Getting voting power
+-----------------------------------
+
+This helper method determines the account's voting power. In default, It considers
+account's regenerated VP. (Actual VP)
+
+If you want the VP at the time the last vote casted, you can pass consider_regeneration=False.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('emrebeyler')
+
+    print(account.vp())
+    print(account.vp(consider_regeneration=False))
+
+Getting account reputation
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.client import Client
+
+    client = Client()
+    account = client.account('emrebeyler')
+
+    print(account.reputation())
+
+Default precision is 2. You can set it by passing precision=N parameter.
+
+Amount helper
+=================================
+
+A simple class to convert "1234.1234 STEEM" kind of values to Decimal.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from lightsteem.helpers.amount import Amount
+
+    amount = Amount("42.5466 STEEM")
+
+    print(amount.amount)
+    print(amount.symbol)
