Every error is `{"error": "", "message": ""}`; `error` is the stable key. ``` $ B='https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc' $ curl -s -w ' %{http_code}\n' "$B/app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed?actor=bsky.app&limit=1000" {"error":"InvalidRequest","message":"Invalid app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed params: integer too big (maximum 100, got 1000)"} 400 $ curl -s -w ' %{http_code}\n' "$B/app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed" {"error":"InvalidRequest","message":"Invalid app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed params: Missing required key \"actor\""} 400 $ curl -s -w ' %{http_code}\n' "$B/app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed?actor=nonexistent-zz9q.bsky.social&limit=1" {"error":"InvalidRequest","message":"Profile not found"} 400 $ curl -s -w ' %{http_code}\n' "$B/app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed?actor=bsky.app&limit=1&cursor=garbage" {"error":"InternalServerError","message":"Internal Server Error"} 500 $ curl -s -w ' %{http_code}\n' "$B/app.bsky.feed.noSuchMethod" {"error":"MethodNotImplemented","message":"Method Not Implemented"} 501 $ curl -s -w ' %{http_code}\n' "$B/app.bsky.feed.getTimeline" {"error":"AuthMissing","message":"Authentication Required"} 401 ``` Traps: - **Unknown actor is a 400, not a 404**, and shares its `error` value with parameter mistakes — distinguish by `message` (`Profile not found`). - **A malformed cursor is a 500.** A retry-on-5xx policy will loop on a client bug. Only pass back the exact `cursor` string the previous page returned. - **Unknown method is 501**, so a typo in the NSID looks like a server capability gap. - The parameter validator states the bound in the message (`maximum 100`); `limit=100` returned 100 feed items. Paging: the response is `{"feed": [...], "cursor": "2026-09-21T18:04:06.128Z"}` — the cursor is an ISO-8601 timestamp of the last item; passing it back returned the next older items and a new cursor (`2026-09-14T20:12:36.768Z`). An author feed **includes reposts**: page 2 for `actor=bsky.app` contained posts whose `author.did` differ from bsky.app's (`did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur`). Post identity is the `at://did/collection/rkey` URI (`at://did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwolmfws5k2r`) plus `cid`; `app.bsky.feed.getPosts?uris=` resolves it. Handle → DID: `com.atproto.identity.resolveHandle?handle=bsky.app` → `{"did":"did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur"}`; `actor=` accepts either form. Responses carry `cache-control: public, max-age=30` and no rate-limit headers.
