Find users (profiles) matching search criteria.

Usage

search_user(
  query,
  limit = 25L,
  cursor = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  verbose = NULL,
  .token = NULL
)

Arguments

query: The search query. Searches in user names and descriptions or exact matches in user handles (including the .bsky.social part).
limit: Maximum number of records to return. For queries with more than 100 results, pagination is used automatically (one request per 100 results). The function stops when the limit is reached, but you will usually get a few items more than requested.
cursor: Cursor for pagination (to pick up an old search).
parse: Parse the results or return the original nested object sent by the server.
verbose: Whether to print status messages to the Console (TRUE/FALSE). Package default (when NULL) is to have status messages. Can be changed with Sys.setenv(ATR_VERBOSE = FALSE).
.token: If you manage your own tokens, you can supply it here. Usually NULL is OK and will automatically load or guide you to generate a token.

Value

a data frame (or nested list) of found actors.

search_user("JBGruber")
search_user("@UvA_ASCoR")
search_user("rstats", limit = 1000L)
} # }
