Quick start

Search posts (no auth required, no need for your own account)

There are many public APIs that do not require authentication if you just want to retrieve data.

Note Due to temporary API restrictions, searchPosts() currently requires authentication. Please use the authenticated example below instead.

// routes/web.php (CURRENTLY NOT WORKING - unauthenticated usage is temporarily restricted)

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Revolution\Bluesky\Facades\Bluesky;

Route::get('search', function () {
    /** @var \Illuminate\Http\Client\Response $response */
    $response = Bluesky::searchPosts(q: '#bluesky', limit: 10);

    $response->collect('posts')
        ->each(function (array $post) {
            dump(data_get($post, 'author.displayName'));
            dump(data_get($post, 'author.handle'));
            dump(data_get($post, 'author.did'));
            dump(data_get($post, 'record.text'));
        });
});

Authenticated usage (currently required due to temporary API restriction)

// routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Revolution\Bluesky\Facades\Bluesky;

Route::get('search-auth', function () {
    $response = Bluesky::login(identifier: config('bluesky.identifier'), password: config('bluesky.password'))
        ->searchPosts(q: '#bluesky', limit: 10);

    $response->collect('posts')
        ->each(function (array $post) {
            dump(data_get($post, 'author.displayName'));
            dump(data_get($post, 'author.handle'));
            dump(data_get($post, 'author.did'));
            dump(data_get($post, 'record.text'));
        });
});

Get someone's posts (no auth required)

// routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Revolution\Bluesky\Facades\Bluesky;

Route::get('feed', function () {
    // "actor" is did(did:plc:***) or handle(***.bsky.social, alice.test)
    $response = Bluesky::getAuthorFeed(actor: '***.bsky.social');

    $response->collect('feed')
        ->each(function (array $feed) {
            dump(data_get($feed, 'post.author.displayName'));
            dump(data_get($feed, 'post.record.text'));
        });
});

You can get your own posts by specifying your did or handle as the actor. No authentication is required to get and save your own posts.

Create a post (requires auth)

There are two authentication methods for Bluesky: "App password" and "OAuth". Here we will use "App password". Obtain the App password from Bluesky and set it in .env.

// .env

BLUESKY_IDENTIFIER=***.bsky.social
BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD=****-****-****-****

// routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Revolution\Bluesky\Facades\Bluesky;

Route::get('post', function () {
    $response = Bluesky::login(identifier: config('bluesky.identifier'), password: config('bluesky.password'))
                       ->post('Hello Bluesky');
});

This is easy if you're just sending simple text, but in the real world you'll need to use TextBuilder to make links and tags work.

// routes/web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Revolution\Bluesky\Facades\Bluesky;
use Revolution\Bluesky\Record\Post;
use Revolution\Bluesky\RichText\TextBuilder;

Route::get('text-builder', function () {
    $post = Post::build(function (TextBuilder $builder) {
        $builder->text('Hello Bluesky')
                ->newLine(count: 2)
                ->link('https://bsky.app/')
                ->newLine()
                ->tag('#Bluesky');
    });

    $response = Bluesky::login(identifier: config('bluesky.identifier'), password: config('bluesky.password'))
                       ->post($post);
});

Following message will be posted:

Hello Bluesky

https://bsky.app/
#Bluesky

To authenticate with OAuth, read the Socialite documentation.
