Bluesky Aozora Dive
... Is an archive of atproto's firehose (and relatedly bluesky) streams.
This dataset name is inspired from a song.
Data Formats
We present data as is with minimum enrichment.
- Likes authors are enriched with their author and usernames. The post themselves are not enriched since that will incur additional requests which can be quite heavy.
- Any cryptographic CIDs are stripped as they do not possess any useful textual data.
Streams
The firehose is split into 2 jsonl file for your usage:
..._atproto_interactions.jsonl
: Contains interaction events, such as likes, follows, reposts and blocks..._atproto_general.jsonl
: Contains accounts, identities, posts and replies
Common Fields
typ
: Represents the data type.usr
: Which User is it from. Represented in theUsernames
format below.rid
: Record Key. Use this to access data from bsky api.
The most basic root construct will typically contain:
{
"typ": "<Type>",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:ssd5xwqvrdrxyu2br7sfjwzy",
},
}
Usernames are constructed in the following format:
{
"did": "did:plc:4hqjfn7m6n5hno3doamuhgef",
}
did
: Decentralized ID
. Consider this as ID
for most cases and it points to a unique ID.nms
: [DEPRECATED!] Usernames
. Either can be a string or a list of strings. Do not blindly assume this is going to be only a string! Though generally, it should just be a string.
nms
will not be provided in future firehose archives. Turns out PLC directory didn't like me.
For most cases, expect the did to describe a user.
Blobs
Blobs represent media content. Typically you can tell it's a blob if it has a mime
field and a cid
.
{
"mime": "image/jpeg",
"size": 891965,
"cid": "bafkreifu35fvx45eyldhpoyb3zgtb5dobvjfpw5kkeexwxefrfpzye2pji"
}
Given the user account is this:
{
"typ": "account",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:lri5xcv6ogaldxkigm32wa57",
"avy": {
"mime": "image/jpeg",
"size": 226086,
"cid": "bafkreif3z2y2rfrfcjt4rwwps4ib7q7qywrdt76bw6dmj5ebqefgllpima"
},
"bnr": null,
"crt": 1723726663.57,
"dsc": "――あなたの日常に、AIの籠った音色を。\n\n▼思い出や日常、希望をお聞かせください。その想いを曲にいたします。\nhttps://forms.gle/rF2iqwXxabfVEifd7",
"dsp": "雪白ゆっち feat.AI Creator"
}
}
Construct the avy url like so:
Template: https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=<usr.did>&cid=<usr.avy.cid>
A full link looks like this: https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:lri5xcv6ogaldxkigm32wa57&cid=bafkreif3z2y2rfrfcjt4rwwps4ib7q7qywrdt76bw6dmj5ebqefgllpima
Yes I did spend a while trying to lookup to see why it is not working.
Posts (Simple)
Posts can get rather complicated. Here's a sample of a simple post.
{
"typ": "post",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:ssd5xwqvrdrxyu2br7sfjwzy",
},
"rid": "3kzyon77od52v",
"chg": "create",
"tst": 1723987630.494,
"pst": {
"txt": "✔✔✔On Aug 18, 2024, 11:59 AM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Bitcoin has crossed the 60,000 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 60,006.578125 USDT, with a narrowed 1.49% increase in 24 hours.👀👀",
"emb": null,
"fct": [],
"lbl": [],
"lng": [],
"tgs": [],
"rpl": null
}
}
tst
: Contains the timestamp in unix float time.chg
: Change type. Typically eithercreate
ordelete
for posts.change
for allowing Direct Messages.rid
: Record Key. Use this to access data from bsky api.pst
: Contains the actual posted data.
Posts (Complex)
As for replies and other fields, here's a more complex example.
{
"typ": "reply",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:4hqjfn7m6n5hno3doamuhgef",
"nms": "yui.syui.ai"
},
"rid": "3kzyotm2hzq2d",
"chg": "create",
"tst": 1723987844.937,
"pst": {
"txt": "https://card.syui.ai/baiser \nbaiser\njoin : baiser.blue [IIT]\nten : 1000\naiten : 21037247\n---\n[1-7]\nten d : shuffle[IIT☑]\nten p : post\n---\n",
"emb": null,
"fct": [
{
"typ": "@",
"val": "https://card.syui.ai/baiser",
"rng": [
0,
27
]
}
],
"lbl": [],
"lng": [],
"tgs": [],
"rpl": {
"typ": "post",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:vok247eewjmbmo3kxaizct2i",
"nms": "baiser.blue"
},
"rid": "3kzyotbooo22c",
"rrt": {
"typ": "post",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:vok247eewjmbmo3kxaizct2i",
"nms": "baiser.blue"
},
"rid": "3kzyosf6atg2v"
}
}
}
}
fct
: Stands for Facets:typ
: The facet type. (tag
,link
,mention
)val
: The facet value. Note that this can be aUsername
dict whentyp
==mention
rng
: Byte range. AFAIK this is in UTF-16 but I can be wrong. Follow atproto's docs for this.
lbl
: Labels. A list of strings. Though typically empty list for firehose streams. Labels are sent seperately firehose stream-wise.lng
: Languages. Either an list (Can be empty) or a string.tgs
: "Additional hashtags, in addition to any included in post text and facets."rpl
: The post that the current post is replying to.- Note: The reply post is not enriched with the actual post.
typ
/usr
/rid
: Refer to the simple posts section.rrt
: Root post. Can benull
if root post is the same as therpl
postrid
.
Accounts
{
"typ": "account",
"usr": {
"did": "did:plc:cj3ngde5wbljf5sh33g7zsdz",
"avy": {
"mime": "image/jpeg",
"size": 79776,
"cid": "bafkreiczz2spptgturm43r33impbkcar4tmdmnh34pqkp2tynlztbxmw7a"
},
"bnr": {
"mime": "image/jpeg",
"size": 748930,
"cid": "bafkreigb5l3u32quxzhpbca6bnrunfdau3m4bp6fdntmj2lwec3erkssty"
},
"crt": null,
"dsc": "こっちでは、主に練習中の下手なイラスト・ゲーム関系とかを投稿していきたいな〜\n\n最推しのねくろさんの配信を見るといやされる( ◠‿◠ )",
"dsp": "しろっつ🖤🐐👑"
}
}
For Accounts, the usr
field is more filled. In addition to did
, there are other fields like:
avy
/bnr
: either aBlob
or null. Refer to Blobs section above.crt
: Account Creation time. Can be null!dsc
: Profile Bio / Blurb Section.dsp
: Display name.
Reconstructing to a AtUri
For post
and reply
types, Take the following values and combine them into the following url:
at://<usr.did>/app.bsky.feed.post/<rid>
Replies are just posts.
For repost
and like
types, it's similar but a bit different:
- Reposts:
at://<usr.did>/app.bsky.feed.repost/<rid>
- likes:
at://<usr.did>/app.bsky.feed.like/<rid>
Enrichment of replies
curl -L -X GET 'https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.getPosts?uris=at://did:plc:4hqjfn7m6n5hno3doamuhgef/app.bsky.feed.post/3kzyotm2hzq2d' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>'
Illegal Spec Followers
In other words, we also capture content that failed to follow specs. Like this:
{
"typ": "IllegalSpecFollowerAkaFixYourShit",
"record": {
"text": "任某(男,31歲),被行拘! ",
"$type": "app.bsky.feed.post",
"embed": {
"uri": "https://www.headline01.com/a/Xio3zSUuGvX7J1jCSG_F5g-51479340.html",
"$type": "app.bsky.embed.external#main",
"external": {
"uri": "https://www.headline01.com/a/Xio3zSUuGvX7J1jCSG_F5g-51479340.html",
"thumb": {
"ref": "bafkreidrfrfluqo26yy4pemkcpgug2p5sea3xrwh3schfnns5owa7gbwvm",
"size": 86924,
"$type": "blob",
"mimeType": "image/jpeg"
},
"title": "任某(男,31歲),被行拘!",
"description": ""
}
},
"createdAt": "2024-08-18T14:05:19.645644Z"
}
}
Lines marked as IllegalSpecFollowerAkaFixYourShit
should be ignored in general though. Content isn't great anyway.
Changes
[01/09/24]
Removed mentions of nms
. We stopped resolving DIDs after 01/09/24 as it appears that I'm slamming PLC directory too much lol. Sorry!
Various Notes
Recommendations
For getting a more proper stream of posts, it's recommended to keep a track of users + posts in a index cache.
Then again, you can just fetch a list from bsky api directly lol.
Do consider reading up on bsky docs and atproto docs.
Docs Nonsense
When the bluesky docs say: "...Implemented by PDS".
You should probably use the following base url: https://bsky.social/xrpc/
Deletions
UnActions ("unpost","unlike","unrepost") only contains rid
as the record key.
License
For everyone out there, data is meant to be free unlike some previous license I did. This is free for grabs aka CC-BY-4.0
.
for Big Corps wanting to use it: Sure. As long as you cite this dataset + CC-BY-4.0
license. Be nice to people who have came before you and did it.
Citations
We would much love academia to cite this dataset. Be nice please :)
