get bluesky data via python client lib "atproto"

bsky-atproto-example.py

# Simple example of getting bsky data via `atproto` python client
# 
# First install: atproto, python-dotenv

# See python client docs here:
    # https://github.com/MarshalX/atproto
# 
from atproto import Client, IdResolver

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()  # take environment variables from .env
env = os.environ
client = Client()

# authenticate with handle = your email addr (or whatever Id you used for bsky).
client.login("[email protected]", env.get("BSKY_APP_PASSWORD"))
# above works if you do NOT have 2FA, but if you do, you must first create a 
# bluesky App Password, then use that for `password` above

resolver = IdResolver()
did = resolver.handle.resolve("pchalasani.bsky.social")

# get posts by an author
posts = client.get_author_feed(did, filter="posts_no_replies")

# see here for a list of filters:
# https://docs.bsky.app/docs/api/app-bsky-feed-get-author-feed
# and see the main docs page for all the other things you can do with the client:
# https://docs.bsky.app/

# get timeline -- i.e. the home feed as seen by the above-authenticated user
tl = client.get_timeline()

# examine the first post
tl.feed[0].post.record.text
