Liking and reposting

Liking and reposting posts are a core feature of Bluesky. The official atproto SDK has dedicated methods for these actions.

Liking a post

Liking a post requires the post's URI and its CID.

The URI indicates the repository DID, collection, and record key. The CID is the hash of the record itself.

Typescript

agent.like

  const { uri } = await agent.like(uri, cid)

Python

client.like

  uri = client.like(uri=uri, cid=cid).uri

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
uri	string	The URI of the post	Yes
cid	string	The CID of the post	Yes

Unliking a post

Unliking a post requires only the post's URI, which refers to its record. In the case of a Like, unliking the post means deleting the Like record.

Typescript

agent.deleteLike

  await agent.deleteLike(uri)

Python

client.delete_like

  client.delete_like(uri)

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
uri	string	The URI of the post to un-like	Yes

Reposting a post

Reposting and un-reposting looks almost exactly the same as liking and unliking.

Typescript

agent.repost

  const { uri } = await agent.repost(uri, cid)

Python

client.repost

  uri = client.repost(uri=uri, cid=cid).uri

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
uri	string	The URI of the post	Yes
cid	string	The CID of the post	Yes

Un-reposting a post

Same as unlike, un-reposting a post requires only the post's URI, whose record we want to delete.

Typescript

agent.deleteRepost

  await agent.deleteRepost(uri)

Python

client.delete_repost

  client.delete_repost(uri)

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
uri	string	The URI of the post to un-repost	Yes
