## Definitions

### `ink.branchline.getBuds`

**Type**: `query`

Hydrate full bud views for a set of AT-URIs. Buds are returned in the same order as the input URIs. Unknown URIs are silently omitted from the response.

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `uris` | `array` | Yes | AT-URIs of buds to hydrate. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `buds` | `array` | Yes |  |

### `ink.branchline.getBuds#budView`

**Type**: `object`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `cid` | `string` (cid) | Yes |  |
| `uri` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes |  |
| `text` | `string` | Yes |  |
| `depth` | `integer` | Yes | Depth of this bud in the story tree (0 = root). |
| `title` | `string` | Yes |  |
| `author` | `ref` → `#authorView` | No |  |
| `locked` | `boolean` | No | True when the bud's bloom time can no longer be extended. |
| `parent` | `ref` → `com.atproto.repo.strongRef` | No |  |
| `growing` | `boolean` | No | True when the bud has not yet reached its bloomsAt time and is still in the growing window. |
| `bloomsAt` | `string` (datetime) | No | Timestamp when this bud finishes its growing window and blooms into the feed. Present on every bud; compare with the current time rather than relying on `growing` alone when a live countdown is needed. |
| `children` | `array` | No | AT-URIs of buds that extend this bud. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
| `formatting` | `array` | No |  |
| `pollenCount` | `integer` | Yes | Lifetime number of pollen grains on this bud (raw count, not the ranking-weighted score). |
| `viewerCanEdit` | `boolean` | No | True when the authenticated viewer is permitted to edit this bud — they are the author, the bud has no children, and it is not locked. Omitted when there is no viewer session. |
| `viewerBookmarked` | `boolean` | No | True when the authenticated viewer has a bookmark whose subject is this bud. A bookmark earlier or later on the same lineage does not light this flag; only the exact subject does. Omitted when there is no viewer session. |
| `viewerPollinated` | `boolean` | No | True when the authenticated viewer has already pollinated this bud. Omitted when there is no viewer session. |
| `intermediateCount` | `integer` | No | Count of distinct contributor DIDs on the root-to-bud path, including the root author and this bud's author. |

### `ink.branchline.getBuds#authorView`

**Type**: `object`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `did` | `string` (did) | Yes |  |
| `handle` | `string` (handle) | Yes |  |
| `displayName` | `string` | No |  |
