FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package bluesky-api

BlueskyApi

Simple class for making requests to the Bluesky API/AT protocol. Not affiliated with Bluesky.

Usage

Starting a session

Starting a session requires a handle and password.

Getting a refresh token

If you're running up against rate limits by repeatedly creating a session, you may want to cache a refresh token and use that to refresh your session instead of starting a new one. Cache it however you want for later usage, or see the session helper below.

Refreshing a session

You can use that cached refresh token later to refresh your session instead of starting a new session.

Sending a message

Sending a message with an attached image

This assumes that your image file is a PNG

Using the session helper to manage refresh token caching

As mentioned above, you can manually cache a session refresh token however you want. The BlueskyApiSessionHelper::auth method is one way of doing that. Provide the path to a file containing a refresh token and the method will refresh your session and update the cache file with the new refresh token. Optionally provide a handle and (app) password to fall back on creating a new session if the refresh token fails.

Getting response header for API requests

Bluesky returns data about rate limits in the header of each API request response. The most recent request response header can be accessed as a string as follows:

The header can then be parsed as necessary.

Installation

Simply add a dependency on cjrasmussen/bluesky-api to your composer.json file if you use Composer to manage the dependencies of your project:

Although it's recommended to use Composer, you can actually include the file(s) any way you want.
