  • chat.yakka.getSession

    query

    Who the caller is signed in as. The session cookie carries an opaque id and nothing else (ADR 0034 §2), so this is how a client learns its own DID — it cannot read one out of the cookie, by design. Answers 200 with `signedIn: false` rather than 401 for an anonymous caller: not being signed in is an ordinary state of the application, not an error in the request.

  • fyi.opensocial.getActor

    query

    Get a person as a view names them. Requires auth. Answers for the caller themselves, or for anyone the host shows — a member of a group it runs, or someone asking to join one.

  • dev.knotless.getViewer

    query

    Who is asking this appview, as its pages show it.

  • app.didpic.identity.getSession

    query

    Return the authenticated viewer's identity along with any opaque flags clients may use to gate UI.
