This is a very simple template for the kind of Bluesky bot I build.

It's very much all over the place. e.g. it sets up the "Agent" to post (because that part is documented well), but doesn't use it to search for posts. You can do that if you want (if you do, look here), but I like to simply rawdogg the API, so that is what I'm doing here. The custom Post type is incomplete and only contains the stuff I found relevant. Error handling is payed only lip service to (at best) as well.

...But it works for me!

If you want to use this, you will have to set 2 environment variables for your val:

BLUESKY_USERNAME
BLUESKY_PASSWORD

From what I can tell from my testing:

• BLUESKY_USERNAME can be both the bot account's handle as well as the email you use to log into it with.
• BLUESKY_PASSWORD can be both the account's main password as well as an app password.

The rest is commented in the code. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Bluesky:
