Query the social graph

You can see who follows whom by calling the friends.stream method. It will provide an object of { userId => [followedIds] }.

bash

sbot friends.stream

sbot.friends.stream(function (err, graph) {
  // ...
})

Example output:

json

{
  "@ptAi6iWwMtqkbpO6YEsLXhucEZkqDgmffCCE0HZYXmk=.ed25519": {
    "@8HsIHUvTaWg8IXHpsb8dmDtKH8qLOrSNwNm298OkGoY=.ed25519": true,

List degrees-of-connection between users

If you want to find out how connected you (or somebody else) is, you can use the friends.hops method. This will list all known user-ids, and how many social-connections away they are.

For instance:

Somebody you follow will be 1 hop away.
Somebody followed by someone you follow will be 2 hops away.
(a "friend of a friend")
etc

bash

sbot friends.hops {userId}

sbot.friends.hops(userId, function (err, list) {
  // ...
})
