A Bluesky bot to help people find unpaywalled resources.
If you encounter a Bluesky post with a paywalled link, simply reply to the message, mentioning @paywallbot.bsky.social
and using the phrase unpaywall
. The bot will try to find an unpaywalled version of the link(s) in the parent post and reply with it.
You can also use the command @paywallbot.bsky.social archive
to specifically request that the bot archive a link (regardless of whether that link is behind a paywall).
You can also mention @paywallbot.bsky.social unpaywall
or @paywallbot.bsky.social archive
in a standalone post, and the bot will try to find an unpaywalled version of the link you provide.
If you include a link in an unpaywall or archive request that is a reply, the bot will assume you want to unpaywall the provided link rather than any links in the parent post.
