Fetch info about Bluesky links in your IRC conversations using Sopel.

Installing

Releases are hosted on PyPI, so after installing Sopel, all you need is pip:

$ pip install sopel-bsky

Configuring

The easiest way to configure sopel-bsky is via Sopel's configuration wizard—simply run sopel-plugins configure bsky and enter the values for which it prompts you.

At present, you need to give the plugin a Bluesky account for which you don't mind the handle & password being stored in Sopel's config file in plain text. It's recommended to create a new account specifically for your bot, instead of using your real account's credentials (if you have one).

Maintenance Note

This plugin as it exists now is mostly a proof of concept, just to have some minimal level of parity with the Sopel ecosystem's support for Twitter (it is not called X!) and Mastodon.

Showing details for links to Bluesky users and posts was tested and confirmed working as of the last release's publish date. The plugin is published in the hope that it will be useful; in case of breakage or needed improvements, pull requests are always welcome.
