# Resolve handle

Resolve a Bluesky handle to its DID.

- Platform: [Bluesky](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/platforms/bluesky)
- Capability ID: `bluesky.actor.resolve_handle`
- Cost: 1 credit per request
- Maximum runtime: 120 seconds
- Execute endpoint: `POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute`

## Request

Use the exact public capability ID in the shared execute envelope.

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://data.upscrape.com/execute \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $UPSCRAPE_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Prefer: wait=30" \
  --data '{
  "input": {
    "handle": "bsky.app"
  },
  "capability": "bluesky.actor.resolve_handle"
}'
```

## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | `string` | Yes | Account handle. |

### Example input

```json
{
  "handle": "bsky.app"
}
```

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This redacted fixture is an example, not a fixed response schema.

```json
{
  "did": "did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur",
  "handle": "bsky.app"
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `did` | `string` | did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur |
| `handle` | `string` | bsky.app |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
