How do I make an authenticated call to the Bluesky /xrpc/app.bsky.feed.getTimeline endpoint from JavaScript using fetch() with no libraries? I have a username and an application password
assistant (Nov 20, 2024, 04:59 PM)
I'll help you create a code example showing how to authenticate and make a request to the Bluesky API endpoint.
async function getBlueskyTimeline(identifier, appPassword) {
// First, authenticate to get a JWT
const authResponse = await fetch('https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.server.createSession', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
identifier: identifier, // your username or email
password: appPassword, // your app password
}),
});
if (!authResponse.ok) {
throw new Error(`Authentication failed: ${authResponse.status}`);
}
const authData = await authResponse.json();
const accessJwt = authData.accessJwt;
// Now use the JWT to get the timeline
const timelineResponse = await fetch('https://bsky.social/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.getTimeline', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessJwt}`,
},
});
if (!timelineResponse.ok) {
throw new Error(`Timeline request failed: ${timelineResponse.status}`);
}
return timelineResponse.json();
}
// Example usage:
try {
const timeline = await getBlueskyTimeline('your-username', 'your-app-password');
console.log('Timeline:', timeline);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error.message);
}This code shows how to:
- First authenticate with Bluesky using the
com.atproto.server.createSessionendpoint - Get the JWT (JSON Web Token) from the authentication response
- Use that JWT in the Authorization header to request the timeline
- Handle any errors that might occur during the process
You can use this function by replacing 'your-username' and 'your-app-password' with your actual credentials. Here's a quick example of how to use it:
const username = 'your-username';
const appPassword = 'your-app-password';
getBlueskyTimeline(username, appPassword)
.then(timeline => {
console.log('Got timeline:', timeline);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error.message);
});A few important notes:
- Make sure you're using an app password, not your regular Bluesky password
- The timeline response will include a cursor that you can use for pagination
- Error handling is important since network requests can fail for various reasons
- The authentication token (JWT) will expire after some time, so for long-running applications, you'll need to handle re-authentication
Would you like me to add any additional features or explain any part in more detail?

turn that into a full page that lets me enter the username and password and click a button and then it runs that code and shows the timeline as pretty-printed JSON in a pre element
assistant (Nov 20, 2024, 05:00 PM)
I'll create a simple HTML page with a form and JSON output display.

</html>I've created a full webpage that includes:
- A simple form with fields for username/email and app password
- Loading indicator while the request is processing
- Error display if something goes wrong
- Pretty-printed JSON output in a monospace pre element
- Basic styling using Tailwind CSS
- Responsive design that works on both desktop and mobile
The page features:
- Form validation to ensure fields aren't empty
- Error handling with user-friendly error messages
- Loading indicator animation
- Syntax-highlighted JSON output
- Clean, modern design with proper spacing and typography
- Security features like password field masking
To use it:
- Enter your Bluesky username or email
- Enter your app password (not your regular password)
- Click "Get Timeline"
- The timeline data will appear below the form, nicely formatted
Note that this is running entirely in the browser - no data is sent anywhere except directly to Bluesky's servers. The app password is only used for the API call and isn't stored anywhere.
Would you like me to add any additional features or make any adjustments to the design?
human (Nov 20, 2024, 05:01 PM)
don't use tailwind, write your own css

I'll recreate the page with custom CSS that's clean and modern.

</html>I've rewritten the page with custom CSS that includes:
- Clean, modern styling using CSS variables for colors and spacing
- Smooth transitions and animations
- A pulsing loading indicator
- Proper focus states for accessibility
- Mobile responsiveness
- Custom form styling
- Monospace font for the JSON output
- Nice box shadows and border radius for depth
- Proper error state styling
- Consistent spacing and typography
The functionality remains the same, but now the styling is completely custom and doesn't rely on any external libraries. The CSS is well-organized with comments and follows modern best practices. I've also kept the colors similar to maintain the professional look, but they're now directly controlled in the CSS.
Some design highlights:
- Subtle animations on the button hover state
- Smooth transitions for focus states
- A custom animated loading indicator
- Proper spacing and hierarchy
- Good contrast ratios for accessibility
- Responsive design that works on all screen sizes
Would you like me to adjust any of the styling or add any additional visual features?
human (Nov 20, 2024, 05:04 PM)
Have it save the username and password in localstorage - if that is set then it fills in those fields for you when the page loads
The feed it retrieves returns JSON with a key "feed" that's a list of items and a key "cursor" with a value in it
Show the "feed" key in the JSON and extract the cursor and display that in a read-only field at the top. After the first thing start a timer and send a new request passing that "cursor" value every 10 seconds - show a subtle countdown to the next time that will happen and include a "stop" button
assistant (Nov 20, 2024, 05:04 PM)
I'll modify the page to add these features - localStorage persistence, cursor handling, and auto-refresh functionality.

</html>I've updated the page with several new features:
-
Credential Management:
- Saves username and password to localStorage
- Automatically loads saved credentials when the page loads
-
Cursor Handling:
- Shows current cursor in a readonly input field
- Only displays the
feedarray from the response JSON - Passes cursor to subsequent requests
-
Auto-refresh System:
- Starts a 10-second refresh timer after first successful request
- Shows countdown to next refresh
- Includes a "Stop Auto-refresh" button
- Properly cleans up intervals when stopped
-
UI Improvements:
- Added cursor display section that only shows when active
- Subtle countdown timer
- Clearer error handling
- More organized layout
To use it:
- Your credentials will be saved when you first submit them
- Next time you load the page, they'll be pre-filled
- After the first successful request, you'll see:
- The current cursor
- A countdown to next refresh
- A stop button to cancel auto-refresh
- The JSON output now only shows the feed content for better readability
The page maintains all the previous styling but adds new sections for the cursor and refresh status. Would you like me to adjust any of these features or add any additional functionality?
human (Nov 20, 2024, 05:23 PM)
Update it so it still shows the JSON at the bottom of the page, but above that it shows a rendered version of the posts
Display these fields for each item in the feed: post.author.handle, post.author.displayName, post.author.avatar (URL to an image), post.record.text
Make it look nice - do the avatars at 200x200

I'll add a rendered feed view above the raw JSON that shows the posts in a clean, Twitter-like format.

</html>I've updated the page to include a rendered feed view with the following changes:
-
Added a rendered feed section that displays:
- Author's avatar at 200x200px
- Display name in bold
- Handle (@username)
- Post text content
-
Visual improvements:
- Card-style post layout
- Grid layout with avatar on left, content on right
- Proper spacing and typography
- Responsive design that stacks on mobile
- Shadow and border radius for depth
-
Raw JSON handling:
- Added a toggle button to show/hide raw JSON
- JSON view is hidden by default
- Shows complete response for debugging
-
Error handling:
- Added placeholder image support for missing avatars

Also include post.record.createdAt - and don't do the toggle button, the JSON should just always be visible
assistant (Nov 20, 2024, 05:25 PM)
I'll update it to include the creation timestamp and make the JSON always visible.
Find this:
.toggle-json {
background-color: #4b5563;
margin-bottom: 1rem;
}
.toggle-json:hover {
background-color: #374151;
}
#output {
display: none;
Replace with this:
#output {
Find this:
.post-handle {
color: #6b7280;
font-size: 0.875rem;
}
.post-text {
Replace with this:
.post-handle {
color: #6b7280;
font-size: 0.875rem;
}
.post-timestamp {
color: #6b7280;
font-size: 0.875rem;
margin-bottom: 0.75rem;
}
.post-text {
Find this:
<button id="toggleJson" class="toggle-json">Toggle Raw JSON</button>
<pre id="output"></pre>
Replace with this:
<h2 style="font-size: 1.5rem; color: #4b5563; margin: 2rem 0 1rem;">Raw JSON</h2>
<pre id="output"></pre>
Find this:
// Add toggle JSON button handler
document.getElementById('toggleJson').addEventListener('click', () => {
const output = document.getElementById('output');
output.style.display = output.style.display === 'none' ? 'block' : 'none';
});
Replace with this:
// No toggle handler needed anymore
Find this:
<span class="post-handle">@${item.post.author.handle}</span>
</div>
<div class="post-text">${item.post.record.text}</div>
Replace with this:
<span class="post-handle">@${item.post.author.handle}</span>
</div>
<div class="post-timestamp">${new Date(item.post.record.createdAt).toLocaleString()}</div>
<div class="post-text">${item.post.record.text}</div>
I've made the following changes:
- Removed the JSON toggle button and made the JSON section always visible with a header
- Added the post creation timestamp, formatted using toLocaleString() for readability
- Added styling for the timestamp to match the overall design
- Removed the toggle-related JavaScript code
- The JSON section now has a clear header to separate it from the rendered feed
The timestamp is displayed between the author info and the post text, styled in the same gray color as the handle for consistency. Each timestamp is formatted according to the user's locale settings.
Would you like me to make any adjustments to the timestamp formatting or any other aspects of the display?
