# Accessing Hold Data Without AppView

This document explains how to retrieve your data directly from a hold service without going through the ATCR AppView. This is useful for:
- GDPR data export requests
- Backup and migration
- Debugging and development
- Building alternative clients

## Quick Start: App Passwords (Recommended)

The simplest way to authenticate is using an ATProto app password. This avoids the complexity of OAuth + DPoP.

### Step 1: Create an App Password

1. Go to your Bluesky settings: https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords
2. Create a new app password
3. Save it securely (you'll only see it once)

### Step 2: Get a Session Token

```bash
# Replace with your handle and app password
HANDLE="yourhandle.bsky.social"
APP_PASSWORD="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"

# Create session with your PDS
SESSION=$(curl -s -X POST "https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.server.createSession" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"identifier\": \"$HANDLE\", \"password\": \"$APP_PASSWORD\"}")

# Extract tokens
ACCESS_JWT=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.accessJwt')
DID=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.did')
PDS=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.didDoc.service[0].serviceEndpoint')

echo "DID: $DID"
echo "PDS: $PDS"
```

### Step 3: Get a Service Token for the Hold

```bash
# The hold DID you want to access (e.g., did:web:hold01.atcr.io)
HOLD_DID="did:web:hold01.atcr.io"

# Get a service token from your PDS
SERVICE_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X GET "$PDS/xrpc/com.atproto.server.getServiceAuth?aud=$HOLD_DID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_JWT" | jq -r '.token')

echo "Service Token: $SERVICE_TOKEN"
```

### Step 4: Call Hold Endpoints

Now you can call any authenticated hold endpoint with the service token:

```bash
# Export your data from the hold
curl -s "https://hold01.atcr.io/xrpc/io.atcr.hold.exportUserData" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SERVICE_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### Complete Script

Here's a complete script that does all the above:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# export-hold-data.sh - Export your data from an ATCR hold

set -e

# Configuration
HANDLE="${1:-yourhandle.bsky.social}"
APP_PASSWORD="${2:-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}"
HOLD_DID="${3:-did:web:hold01.atcr.io}"

# Default PDS (Bluesky's main PDS)
DEFAULT_PDS="https://bsky.social"

echo "Authenticating as $HANDLE..."

# Step 1: Create session
SESSION=$(curl -s -X POST "$DEFAULT_PDS/xrpc/com.atproto.server.createSession" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"identifier\": \"$HANDLE\", \"password\": \"$APP_PASSWORD\"}")

# Check for errors
if echo "$SESSION" | jq -e '.error' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Error: $(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.message')"
  exit 1
fi

ACCESS_JWT=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.accessJwt')
DID=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.did')

# Try to get PDS from didDoc, fall back to default
PDS=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.didDoc.service[] | select(.id == "#atproto_pds") | .serviceEndpoint' 2>/dev/null || echo "$DEFAULT_PDS")
if [ "$PDS" = "null" ] || [ -z "$PDS" ]; then
  PDS="$DEFAULT_PDS"
fi

echo "Authenticated as $DID"
echo "PDS: $PDS"

# Step 2: Get service token for the hold
echo "Getting service token for $HOLD_DID..."
SERVICE_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X GET "$PDS/xrpc/com.atproto.server.getServiceAuth?aud=$HOLD_DID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_JWT")

if echo "$SERVICE_RESPONSE" | jq -e '.error' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Error getting service token: $(echo "$SERVICE_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.message')"
  exit 1
fi

SERVICE_TOKEN=$(echo "$SERVICE_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.token')

# Step 3: Resolve hold DID to URL
if [[ "$HOLD_DID" == did:web:* ]]; then
  # did:web:example.com -> https://example.com
  HOLD_HOST="${HOLD_DID#did:web:}"
  HOLD_URL="https://$HOLD_HOST"
else
  echo "Error: Only did:web holds are currently supported for direct resolution"
  exit 1
fi

echo "Hold URL: $HOLD_URL"

# Step 4: Export data
echo "Exporting data from $HOLD_URL..."
curl -s "$HOLD_URL/xrpc/io.atcr.hold.exportUserData" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SERVICE_TOKEN" | jq .
```

Usage:
```bash
chmod +x export-hold-data.sh
./export-hold-data.sh yourhandle.bsky.social xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx did:web:hold01.atcr.io
```

## Available Hold Endpoints

Once you have a service token, you can call these endpoints:

### Data Export (GDPR)
```bash
GET /xrpc/io.atcr.hold.exportUserData
Authorization: Bearer {service_token}
```

Returns all your data stored on that hold:
- Layer records (blobs you've pushed)
- Crew membership status
- Usage statistics
- Whether you're the hold captain

### Quota Information
```bash
GET /xrpc/io.atcr.hold.getQuota?userDid={your_did}
# No auth required - just needs your DID
```

### Blob Download (if you have read access)
```bash
GET /xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did={owner_did}&cid={blob_digest}
Authorization: Bearer {service_token}
```

Returns a presigned URL to download the blob directly from storage.

## OAuth + DPoP (Advanced)

App passwords are the simplest option, but OAuth with DPoP is the "proper" way to authenticate in ATProto. However, it's significantly more complex because:

1. **DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession)** - Every request requires a cryptographically signed JWT proving you control a specific key
2. **PAR (Pushed Authorization Requests)** - Authorization parameters are sent server-to-server
3. **PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange)** - Prevents authorization code interception

### Why DPoP Makes Curl Impractical

Each request requires a fresh DPoP proof JWT with:
- Unique `jti` (request ID)
- Current `iat` timestamp
- HTTP method and URL bound to the request
- Server-provided `nonce`
- Signature using your P-256 private key

Example DPoP proof structure:
```json
{
  "alg": "ES256",
  "typ": "dpop+jwt",
  "jwk": { "kty": "EC", "crv": "P-256", "x": "...", "y": "..." }
}
{
  "htm": "GET",
  "htu": "https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.server.getServiceAuth",
  "jti": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "iat": 1735689100,
  "nonce": "server-provided-nonce"
}
```

### If You Need OAuth

If you need OAuth (e.g., for a production application), you'll want to use a library:

**Go:**
```go
import "github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/atproto/auth/oauth"
```

**TypeScript/JavaScript:**
```bash
npm install @atproto/oauth-client-node
```

**Python:**
```bash
pip install atproto
```

These libraries handle all the DPoP complexity for you.

### High-Level OAuth Flow

For documentation purposes, here's what the flow looks like:

1. **Resolve identity**: `handle` → `DID` → `PDS endpoint`
2. **Discover OAuth server**: `GET {pds}/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`
3. **Generate DPoP key**: Create P-256 key pair
4. **PAR request**: Send authorization parameters (with DPoP proof)
5. **User authorization**: Browser-based login
6. **Token exchange**: Exchange code for tokens (with DPoP proof)
7. **Use tokens**: All subsequent requests include DPoP proofs

Each step after #3 requires generating a fresh DPoP proof JWT, which is why libraries are essential.

## Troubleshooting

### "Invalid token" or "Token expired"

Service tokens are only valid for ~60 seconds. Get a fresh one:
```bash
SERVICE_TOKEN=$(curl -s "$PDS/xrpc/com.atproto.server.getServiceAuth?aud=$HOLD_DID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_JWT" | jq -r '.token')
```

### "Session expired"

Your access JWT from `createSession` has expired. Create a new session:
```bash
SESSION=$(curl -s -X POST "$PDS/xrpc/com.atproto.server.createSession" ...)
ACCESS_JWT=$(echo "$SESSION" | jq -r '.accessJwt')
```

### "Audience mismatch"

The service token is scoped to a specific hold. Make sure `HOLD_DID` matches exactly what's in the `aud` claim of your token.

### "Access denied: user is not a crew member"

You don't have access to this hold. You need to either:
- Be the hold captain (owner)
- Be a crew member with appropriate permissions

### Finding Your Hold DID

Check your sailor profile to find your default hold:
```bash
curl -s "https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.getRecord?repo=$DID&collection=io.atcr.sailor.profile&rkey=self" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_JWT" | jq -r '.value.defaultHold'
```

Or check your manifest records for the hold where your images are stored:
```bash
curl -s "https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.listRecords?repo=$DID&collection=io.atcr.manifest&limit=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_JWT" | jq -r '.records[0].value.holdDid'
```

## Security Notes

- **App passwords** are scoped tokens that can be revoked without changing your main password
- **Service tokens** are short-lived (60 seconds) and scoped to a specific hold
- **Never share** your app password or access tokens
- Service tokens can only be used for the specific hold they were requested for (`aud` claim)
