This is a basic setup for interacting with Bluesky via the ATProtocol. It is written in TypeScript and uses the Deno runtime.
Deno speaks TypeScript natively (and comes with a fetch() implementation) so there's no need to compile your code before running it! Thanks to Deno's support for npm packages it uses the same API wrapper that is used in Node.js and has full types support.
This is a GitHub template repository - click the "Use this template" button above to create a new repository based on this one.
You'll need your Bluesky handle (*.bsky.social or your custom domain if you've added one) and password. Alternatively you can use an app password. I recommend this option! Just so you aren't copy pasting your password in random places.
Make a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env, then fill in your handle and password.
The main.ts file contains a basic example of how to setup and use the API client. You can run the script (with the minimal permissions set) by running deno task run in your terminal.
- All credit goes to @aliceisjustplaying for putting together a starter template for Node.js! This is effectively a port of that to Deno.
- A shoutout to @emilyliu7321 as well for including a tutorial with their Bluesky bot!
