Getting started

Installation

• Node.js version 20 or higher.
• Terminal for executing your Trotsky script via its command line interface (CLI).

Trotsky must be installed with your favorite package manager:

npm

$ npm add trotsky

pnpm

$ pnpm add trotsky

yarn

$ yarn add trotsky

bun

$ bun add trotsky

Your first automation

This simple Trotsky implementation will:

1. Import the required classes from Trotsky.
2. Create an AtpAgent instance (from the @atproto/api package).
3. Initialize Trotsky with your agent and describe the scenario.
4. Run your Trotsky instance.

Module

import { AtpAgent } from "@atproto/api"
import { Trotsky } from "trotsky"

async function main() {
  const agent = new AtpAgent({ service: "https://bsky.social" })
  // Ensure you logged in with your agent, for instance using the login method
  await agent.login({ identifier: 'trotsky.pirhoo.com', password: 'h0rs3!' })

  await Trotsky
    .init(agent)
    .searchPost({ q: 'trotsky' })
      .take(5)
      .each()
        .like()
        .run()
}

main()

CommonJS

const { AtpAgent } = require("@atproto/api")
const { Trotsky } = require("trotsky")

async function main() {
  const agent = new AtpAgent({ service: "https://bsky.social" })
  // Ensure you logged in with your agent, for instance using the login method
  await agent.login({ identifier: 'trotsky.pirhoo.com', password: 'h0rs3!' })

  await Trotsky
    .init(agent)
    .searchPost({ q: 'trotsky' })
      .take(5)
      .each()
        .like()
        .run()
}

main()
