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

query · GET

Parameters

query string

depth

integer

Levels 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: 1
  • maximum: 5
  • default: 3

did

requiredstring · did

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

integer

Ceiling 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: 1
  • maximum: 100
  • default: 10

node

string

Record 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/json

did

requiredstring · did

The identity this outline belongs to, echoed back.

handle

string · handle

The 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.

nodes

requiredarray

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.

itemsref
Reference

The 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.

Reference

root

ref

The zoomed bullet itself, so a caller can title the level without a second request. Absent when the whole outline was asked for.

Reference

stop

string

Which 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

truncated

requiredboolean

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

object

Present 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

original

requiredstring · at-uri

The app.bulleted.node this mirror renders.

#node

object

One row of an outline: an app.bulleted.node, or an app.bulleted.mirror standing in a sibling group beside them.

Properties

childCount

integer

How 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.

cid

requiredstring · cid

The record CID as this appview last indexed it.

completedAt

string · datetime

Presence means completed; there is no separate boolean anywhere in this system.

createdAt

string · datetime

did

requiredstring · did

The 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

string

Whether 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

unknown

This 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.

Whether 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

array

Rich text annotations over text, as stored. Byte ranges, so they index text as UTF-8.

itemsref

layout

string

How 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
Reference

note

string

The 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-uri

The 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.

rkey

requiredstring

The record key.

sortKey

requiredstring

Fractional index ordering this row among its siblings.

text

requiredstring

The bullet's text, unrendered.

uri

requiredstring · at-uri

The record's own AT-URI.

#outline

object

An app.bulleted.outline record, as it applies to the level that was asked for.

Properties

image

string · uri

Absolute 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

string

title

string

uri

requiredstring · at-uri

The outline record this came from. Compare its rkey against the level to tell an inherited title from one written here.

  • Titles 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.
