# goose
[](https://hex.pm/packages/goose)
[](https://hexdocs.pm/goose/)
A Gleam WebSocket consumer for AT Protocol Jetstream events.
```sh
gleam add goose@1
```
## Example
```gleam
import goose
import gleam/io
import gleam/option
pub fn main() {
// Create a default configuration
let config = goose.default_config()
// Or configure with custom options
let config = goose.JetstreamConfig(
endpoint: "wss://jetstream2.us-east.bsky.network/subscribe",
wanted_collections: ["app.bsky.feed.post", "app.bsky.feed.like"],
wanted_dids: [],
cursor: option.None,
max_message_size_bytes: option.None,
compress: False,
require_hello: False,
)
// Start consuming events
goose.start_consumer(config, fn(json_event) {
let event = goose.parse_event(json_event)
case event {
goose.CommitEvent(did, time_us, commit) -> {
io.println("Commit: " <> commit.operation <> " in " <> commit.collection)
}
goose.IdentityEvent(did, time_us, identity) -> {
io.println("Identity: " <> identity.handle)
}
goose.AccountEvent(did, time_us, account) -> {
io.println("Account updated: " <> did)
}
goose.UnknownEvent(_) -> {
io.println("Unknown event type")
}
}
})
}
```
## Configuration Options
### `wanted_collections`
An array of Collection NSIDs to filter which records you receive (default: empty = all collections)
- Supports NSID path prefixes like `app.bsky.graph.*` or `app.bsky.*`
- The prefix before `.*` must pass NSID validation
- Incomplete prefixes like `app.bsky.graph.fo*` are not supported
- Account and Identity events are always received regardless of this filter
- Maximum 100 collections/prefixes
**Example:**
```gleam
wanted_collections: ["app.bsky.feed.post", "app.bsky.graph.*"]
```
### `wanted_dids`
An array of Repo DIDs to filter which records you receive (default: empty = all repos)
- Maximum 10,000 DIDs
**Example:**
```gleam
wanted_dids: ["did:plc:example123", "did:plc:example456"]
```
### `cursor`
A unix microseconds timestamp to begin playback from
- Absent cursor or future timestamp results in live-tail operation
- When reconnecting, use `time_us` from your most recently processed event
- Consider subtracting a few seconds as a buffer to ensure gapless playback
**Example:**
```gleam
cursor: option.Some(1234567890123456)
```
### `max_message_size_bytes`
The maximum size of a payload that this client would like to receive
- Zero means no limit
- Negative values are treated as zero
- Default: 0 (no maximum size)
**Example:**
```gleam
max_message_size_bytes: option.Some(1048576) // 1MB limit
```
### `compress`
Enable zstd compression for WebSocket frames
- Set to `True` to enable compression
- Default: `False`
- Uses zstandard compression with Jetstream's custom dictionary
- Reduces bandwidth by approximately 50%
- Messages are automatically decompressed before reaching your callback
- Requires the `ezstd` library (automatically handled as a dependency)
**Example:**
```gleam
compress: True
```
**Note:** Compression is transparent to your application - compressed messages are automatically decompressed before being passed to your event handler. The bandwidth savings occur on the wire between the server and your client.
### `require_hello`
Pause replay/live-tail until server receives a `SubscriberOptionsUpdatePayload`
- Set to `True` to require initial handshake
- Default: `False`
**Example:**
```gleam
require_hello: True
```
## Full Configuration Example
```gleam
import goose
import gleam/option
let config = goose.JetstreamConfig(
endpoint: "wss://jetstream2.us-east.bsky.network/subscribe",
wanted_collections: ["app.bsky.feed.post", "app.bsky.graph.*"],
wanted_dids: ["did:plc:example123"],
cursor: option.Some(1234567890123456),
max_message_size_bytes: option.Some(2097152), // 2MB
compress: True,
require_hello: False,
)
goose.start_consumer(config, handle_event)
```
