Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add bskyrb

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install bskyrb

You can also install the gem by cloning this repository and running ./install-local.sh.

Create a new session:

require 'bskyrb'
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
pds_url = 'https://bsky.social'

credentials = Bskyrb::Credentials.new(username, password)
session = Bskyrb::Session.new(credentials, pds_url)
bsky = Bskyrb::RecordManager.new(session)
post_uri = bsky.create_post("Hello world from bskyrb!")["uri"]
bsky.like(post_uri)
bsky.repost(post_uri)
bsky.create_reply(post_uri, "Replying to post from bskyrb")

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, run ./deploy.sh and you will be guided through updating the version number, bundling the gem, and pushing it to RubyGems. You must be signed in with a RubyGems account that has push access to bskyrb.

And configure the type checker:

We are working on a script to generate classes from the atproto lexicon. So far we have made non-query objects. To recreate them:

git submodule add https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto.git
# or just clone it!
bin/codegen

This crawls the lexicon directory in your newly-cloned atproto repo, and generates formatted classes based on the json schemas embedded in the files. You can then hydrate them like so:

# make your RecordManager, then...

post_by_url = manager.get_post_by_url("https://staging.bsky.app/profile/naia.bsky.social/post/3jszsrnruws27")

my_post = Bskyrb::AppBskyFeedDefs::PostView.from_hash post_by_url["thread"]["post"]

Next steps:

• Recursion--hydrate the classes embedded in the classes. Some parsing to enable this already happens in LexiconParser.
• Generate classes for queries and other unusual object types.
• Integrate our new classes into the API call methods.

bskyrb uses .rbs type definitions. To check for accuracy, run bin/typecheck. Not all of the output will be useful, especially during rapid development, but it is a good idea to have types at least for the bluesky objects.

Use the rbs collection tool to manage definitions for third-party dependencies, for example HTTParty. Use bundle exec rbs collection install to download third-party definitions (you will need to do this before bin/typecheck will work).

Run the test suite with:

$ bundle exec rake test

So nobody has to argue about formatting, bskyrb uses the standard gem. Run bin/format to format the code in this repo.

Please do!

• Build
• More/better tests
• (Eventually) Publish/release pipeline
• Split into separate modules for XRPC, Lexicon, ATProto, etc
