A global atproto backlink index ✨
4
+
5
+
- Self hostable: handles the full write throughput of the global atproto firehose on a raspberry pi 4b + single SSD
6
+
- Storage efficient: less than 2GB/day disk consumption indexing all references in all lexicons and all non-atproto URLs
7
+
- Simple JSON API

+
All social interactions in atproto tend to be represented by links (or references) between PDS records. This index can answer questions like "how many likes does a bsky post have", "who follows an account", "what are all the comments on a [frontpage](https://frontpage.fyi/) post", and more.

- **status**: works! api is unstable and likely to change, and no known instances have a full network backfill yet.
12
+
- source: [./constellation/](./constellation/)
13
+
- public instance: [links.bsky.bad-example.com](https://links.bsky.bad-example.com/)

_note: the public instance currently runs on a little raspberry pi in my house, feel free to use it! it comes with only with best-effort uptime, no commitment to not breaking the api for now, and possible rate-limiting. if you want to be nice you can put your project name and bsky username (or email) in your user-agent header for api requests._

currently this is a bit out of date -- refer to the [api docs hosted by the app itself](https://links.bsky.bad-example.com/) for now. they also let you try out live requests.
