Overview

This node operation fetches posts authored by a specific user on the Bluesky social platform. It allows retrieving an author's feed based on their decentralized identifier (DID), with options to filter the types of posts and limit the number of results. This is useful for applications that want to display or analyze content from a particular user, such as social media dashboards or content aggregation tools.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the latest 50 posts and replies from a specific author using their DID.
  2. Retrieve only media-containing posts from an author to display a gallery of their shared images and videos.

Properties

Name Meaning
Actor The DID of the author whose posts you'd like to fetch. This is required to specify which user's feed to retrieve.
Limit Maximum number of posts to return in the response. This controls the size of the fetched feed and must be at least 1.
Filter Filter to specify the type of posts to retrieve from the author's feed, such as posts with replies, posts with media, or only top-level posts without replies.

Output

JSON

  • posts - Array of posts retrieved from the author's feed, each containing post content and metadata.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or authentication token to interact with the Bluesky social platform API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'Actor' DID is valid and correctly formatted; invalid DIDs will cause errors fetching the feed.
  • The 'Limit' must be a positive integer; setting it too high may cause performance issues or API rate limiting.
  • Filtering options must be supported by the API; unsupported filters may result in empty or error responses.
