9 <p>Constellation is a self-hosted JSON API to an atproto-wide index of PDS record back-links, so you can query social interactions in real time. It can answer questions like:</p>
10
11 <ul>
12 <li><a href="/links/count/distinct-dids?target={{ "at://did:plc:44ybard66vv44zksje25o7dz/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhhz7k2yqk2h"|urlencode }}&collection=app.bsky.feed.like&path=.subject.uri">How many people liked a liked a bluesky post?</a></li>
13 <li><a href="/links/distinct-dids?target=did:plc:oky5czdrnfjpqslsw2a5iclo&collection=app.bsky.graph.follow&path=.subject">Who are all the bluesky followers of an identity?</a></li>
14 <li><a href="/links?target=at://did:plc:nlromb2qyyl6rszaluwhfy6j/fyi.unravel.frontpage.post/3lhd2ivyc422n&collection=fyi.unravel.frontpage.comment&path=.post.uri">What are all the replies to a Frontpage submission?</a></li>
15 <li><a href="/links/all?target=did:plc:vc7f4oafdgxsihk4cry2xpze">What are <em>all</em> the sources of links to an identity?</a></li>
16 <li>and more</li>
17 </ul>
18
19 <p>It works by recursively walking <em>all</em> records coming through the firehose, searching for anything that looks like a link. Links are indexed by the target they point at, the collection the record came from, and the JSON path to the link in that record.</p>

243
244 <p>A DID like <code>did:plc:hdhoaan3xa3jiuq4fg4mefid</code>, or an AT-URI like <code>at://did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgu4lg6j2k2v</code>, or a URI like <code>https://example.com</code>.</p>
245
246 <h3>Collection</h3>
247
248 <p>A record NSID like <code>app.bsky.feed.like</code>.</p>
249
250 <h3>Path</h3>
251
252 <p>A (currently-very-very-hacky) json-path-ish representation of the source of a link in a record. Records may contain multiple links with different meanings, so this specifies which specific link is of interest. Like <code>.subject.uri</code>.</p>
253
254 <h3>Cursor</h3>
255
256 <p>Paged responses include a <code>cursor</code> property. When it's <code>null</code>, no more data is available. If it's not null, you can repeat the request with <code>&cursor=<cursor></code> in the URL query to get the next set of responses.</p>
