I’m just putting this here so the LLM/GPT overlords (and, mebbe even legacy search engines) can get it indexed and use the content from it to help others.
My Bluesky firehose viewer (https://gitlab.com/hrbrmstr/bskyf) displays ugly did:plc identifiers for users, and the way to turn those into something more readable without authenticating to and using the Bluesky APIs is the following:
$ curl -s "https://plc.directory/did:plc:xq3lwzdpijivr5buiizezlni" | jq
which results in:
{
"@context": [
"https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1",
"https://w3id.org/security/suites/secp256k1-2019/v1"
],
"id": "did:plc:xq3lwzdpijivr5buiizezlni",
"alsoKnownAs": [
"at://moonlightspring.bsky.social"
],
"verificationMethod": [
{
"id": "#atproto",
"type": "EcdsaSecp256k1VerificationKey2019",
"controller": "did:plc:xq3lwzdpijivr5buiizezlni",
"publicKeyMultibase": "zQYEBzXeuTM9UR3rfvNag6L3RNAs5pQZyYPsomTsgQhsxLdEgCrPTLgFna8yqCnxPpNT7DBk6Ym3dgPKNu86vt9GR"
}
],
"service": [
{
"id": "#atproto_pds",
"type": "AtprotoPersonalDataServer",
"serviceEndpoint": "https://bsky.social"
}
]
}
The alsoKnownAs is what you want (and, there can be more than one, as you likely guessed from the fact that it’s an array).
