Quickstart

Install Trotsky from NPM with your favorite package manager:

yarn add trotsky

Then write your script using Trotsky:

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()

Lifecycle Hooks

Extend your scenarios with beforeStep and afterStep hooks for logging, monitoring, validation, and more:

import { Trotsky } from "trotsky"

const trotsky = new Trotsky(agent)

// Log when steps start
trotsky.beforeStep((step, context) => {
  console.log(`Starting: ${step.constructor.name}`)
})

// Track performance after each step
trotsky.afterStep((step, context, result) => {
  console.log(`Completed: ${step.constructor.name} (${result.executionTime}ms)`)

  if (result.executionTime > 1000) {
    console.warn('Slow step detected!')
  }
})

await trotsky
  .actor('alice.bsky.social')
  .createPost('Hello world!')
  .run()

See the Hooks Documentation for comprehensive guides and examples.
