Social Stats

This project is an Azure Function, written in PowerShell, that calls the bluesky api for a username and then stores the information in a SQL Database.

If you want to replicate this project you need some infra

• An Azure Function app - PowerShell - I'd set this up to use a managed identity
• An Azure SQL Database - and then add an app setting for SqlConnectionString with the details
  • the Function Managed Identity needs write access to the database
  • the database should contain a table like so:

    CREATE TABLE dbo.bskyStats (
        collectionId INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
        collectionDate DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE(),
        handle VARCHAR(50),
        displayName VARCHAR(50),
        avatar VARCHAR(255),
        createdAt DATETIME,
        description VARCHAR(255),
        indexedAt DATETIME,
        banner VARCHAR(255),
        followersCount INT,
        followsCount INT,
        postsCount INT
    )

• Change the username in the API call within run.ps for the one you want to monitor
  • I will update this to be more dynamic at some point, and provide the option of passing in more than one.
