Additional Features

Hey Ian,

You asked me to file an issue asking for TODOs - do you have anything in mind?

i've added some more issues ^^

i think it would be cool if this were a full-featured client!

[ianklatzco]

what precisely does that mean?

• every endpoint has a corresponding python function (it might be possible to codegen this from the official bsky typescript)/
  • naively could grep out all the function names and then turn each of those into python
• i think we could stand to think about the ergonomics of the python. right now, things are a tiny bit clunky because you get the response object back, which is ever so slightly unpoggers.

  # for example,
  def resolveHandle(self,username): # aka getDid
      headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + self.ATP_AUTH_TOKEN}
      resp = requests.get(
          self.ATP_HOST + "/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.resolveHandle?handle={}".format(username),
          headers=headers
      )
      return resp

A cleaner API would look like something like:

class BskyResponse():
    # blah blah blah
    def __init__():
        self.response = None

def resolveHandle(self, username0:
    headers = #blahblahblah
    resp = requests.get(blahblahbla)
    rrrr = BskyResponse()
    rrrr.response = resp

It would also be cool if there were a decorator in front of each def that made it so we didn't need to put headers in every function manually.

I don't know if this fits what you're thinking, but @thearchduke was able to write a codegen script from the Lexicons in the ATProto repository to generate Ruby classes for each Lexicon. Something similar could probably work in Python

something like this? https://github.com/jbn/psychonaut/blob/main/psychonaut/lexicon/codegen.py

[ianklatzco]

yeah! psychonaut's approach is super cool (codegen). i think it would be super cool / instructive / good learning to do that here too.
