app.bulleted.getOutline
The public outline for an identity, optionally zoomed to one bullet. Answers from this appview's index of public records; it does not read the identity's PDS. No authentication, because everything here is already public.

query stringdepth
integerLevels below the root to return; 1 is the root's children only. Clamped rather than rejected, so a value outside the range is answered with the nearest one in range.
minimum: 1maximum: 5default: 3
The identity whose outline to read. A DID and never a handle: a handle is a lease on a name, and resolving one here would make this endpoint an open resolver somebody else pays for.
limit
integerCeiling on nodes returned across ALL levels, not per level. Clamped rather than rejected. A per-level reading would make depth 5 with limit 100 a five-hundred-node answer to a request that said one hundred.
minimum: 1maximum: 100default: 10
node
stringRecord key of the bullet to zoom into. Absent means the whole outline. The record key rather than an AT-URI, matching /public/{did}/{rkey}: the identity is already named by did, and two fields that can disagree about it is a bug waiting to be written.
Output
application/jsonThe identity this outline belongs to, echoed back.
handle
string · handleThe handle this appview last observed for did. Absent when none has been observed. Never resolved on demand, so it may lag the network and must not be treated as authoritative.
Pre-order, siblings in sortKey order. Flat, not nested: parentage is in each node's parent field, exactly as it is in the records themselves.
outline
refThe app.bulleted.outline record in effect at this level. It may have been written at an ancestor rather than here; uri says which, and there is deliberately no separate inherited flag because the URI already answers it.
root
refThe zoomed bullet itself, so a caller can title the level without a second request. Absent when the whole outline was asked for.
stop
stringWhich bound ended the walk. Present alongside truncated on purpose: one boolean is what most callers want, and a caller deciding whether to ask again with a larger depth needs to know which limit it hit.
knownValues: complete | depth | limit
Whether anything was left out. True whenever stop is not 'complete'.
Errors
NotFound
No such identity in this appview, or no such bullet in it. Also the answer for a record this appview has been asked to withhold: a status meaning 'this exists but is denied' is a way to enumerate the denylist.
#mirror
objectPresent when this row is an app.bulleted.mirror rather than a node. The row's uri addresses the mirror record in this identity's repository; original names the bullet it points at, which lives in another repository and is NOT expanded here. Ask for that identity's outline to read it.
Properties
The app.bulleted.node this mirror renders.
#node
objectOne row of an outline: an app.bulleted.node, or an app.bulleted.mirror standing in a sibling group beside them.
Properties
childCount
integerHow many children this bullet has, whether or not they are in this response. Without it a leaf and a bullet cut off by depth or limit are the same absence.
The record CID as this appview last indexed it.
completedAt
string · datetimePresence means completed; there is no separate boolean anywhere in this system.
createdAt
string · datetimeThe repository this record lives in. Usually the identity the request named, and NOT always: an outline whose app.bulleted.outline admits contributors answers with their records too, rendered in place among the author's own. Read this rather than parsing the authority out of uri.
display
stringWhether this row's children are shown when a reader has no preference of their own, verbatim as stored. Absent means expanded, as does any unrecognized value. Absent on a mirror, which renders another repository's subtree and has no hint of its own.
knownValues: expanded | collapsed
embed
unknownThis bullet's embed, exactly as its app.bulleted.node record carries it — an open union of app.bsky.embed.external and app.bsky.embed.record. The record's own claim, not this service's rendered card: a caller asking for an outline wants what is in the repository, and a view shape published here would need its own union and its own versioning. Absent on a mirror, whose content belongs to the record it points at.
embedState
stringWhether this service has resolved what a record embed points at. Absent for an external card, which needs no resolution because it is itself the snapshot the writer stored. 'pending' means nobody has looked yet; 'missing' means the record is gone from its repository; 'refused' means its host would not serve it. Not derivable from the embed, which is why it is answered alongside it.
knownValues: ok | pending | missing | refused
facets
arrayRich text annotations over text, as stored. Byte ranges, so they index text as UTF-8.
layout
stringHow the bullet renders, verbatim as stored. An open set: a value written by a later version arrives unchanged rather than folded onto bullet.
knownValues: bullet | todo | h1 | h2 | h3 | codeBlock | quoteBlock
note
stringThe body of this bullet's app.bulleted.note, if it has one. Co-keyed with the bullet by the parallel-key rule, so it needs no URI of its own here.
parent
string · at-uriThe bullet this one hangs under. Absent means top level of the identity's outline, which is not the same as top level of this response — a zoomed answer's rows all carry a parent.
The record key.
Fractional index ordering this row among its siblings.
The bullet's text, unrendered.
The record's own AT-URI.
#outline
objectAn app.bulleted.outline record, as it applies to the level that was asked for.
Properties
description
stringimage
string · uriAbsolute URL of the preview image, served through this appview's blob proxy rather than as a raw blob reference, because a caller cannot fetch a blob without also knowing the PDS.
imageAlt
stringtitle
stringThe outline record this came from. Compare its rkey against the level to tell an inherited title from one written here.

app.bulleted.outline
recordTitles and describes an outline, and names who may contribute to it. Record key 'self' means the identity's whole forest; any other key names the subtree at 'root'. The key is 'any' rather than 'tid' because 'self' is not a TID.
