 # gotosocial
 
-A library for building GoToSocial bots
+A couple of small Python libraries for registering and running bots on a [GoToSocial](https://gotosocial.org/) ActivityPub server.
 
-## client
+I wrote these to make it easier for me to port [my bots](https://bots.mikelynch.org) to my bot server, [llull.club](https://llull.club). It's all a bit basic and there are no tests or anything fancy like that.
 
-This is a variant on my Mastodon bot code and hasn't been properly tested yet: I'll document it when I've done that.
+## Installation
+
+This project is maintained with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/): install it, check out this repo, cd into the directory and then you can run the registration script with the uv commands below and it should take care of dependencies.
+
+To use the client library you'll have to fiddle around with making it available to whatever Python you're using to run your bots.
+
+Before you can make a bot which posts to your instance you need to register an app and get an access token with the `register` script.
 
 ## register
 
 A utility for making it easier to register an app and get an access token for
 a GoToSocial account - it's a Python script which automates as much of [the client API instructions](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/api/authentication/) as possible. There's still some manual stuff required for authenticating.

-
 To register an app, you first need to give it an identity on the server - in the examples I've called the server `https://your.server/` and the app `mybot`
 
     uv run register -u https://your.server/ -n mybot

+Copy the out-of-band token and do the third step straight away, as the token will expire fairly quickly.
 
 The third step exchanges the above token for a permanent access token, by running the script again in the same directory, passing the OOB token with the -t flag:

 If this is successful, your access token - another, different string of letters and numbers - will be printed to the command prompt. The access token is also written out as a json file with the name `mybot_at.json`.
 
 You should now be able to use the access token to post to your GoToSocial account.
+
+## client
+
+I don't use this version of the client for my own bots - I use it as one
+component of [botclient](https://github.com/spikelynch/botclient) which can 
+also work against the Mastodon API.
+
+I have tested this version and provided a couple of example scripts - one for
+text posts and one for posts with a single image. Note that the GoToSocial 
+API allows up to six images - at some point I'll upgrade this to allow
+multiple image posts.
+
+The client is a Python class, GoToSocialBot, which needs the URL of your instance
+and the access token generated as per the instructions above.
+
+    bot = GoToSocialBot()
+    bot.auth({ "base_url": "https://llull.club", "access_token": "..." })
+    bot.post("This is an automated post!", { "spoiler_text": "bot post" })
+    bot.post_image("myimage.png", "This is an automated image!", { "spoiler_text": "bot post" })
+
+The second argument to post() and third argument to post_imate() is a dict of options which are passed straight through to the API - details available [here](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/api/swagger/).
