toot and/or tweet skeet. a common (and lowest-common-denominator) api for simplifying cross-posting to mastodon and twitter bsky.
⚠️ note that this library is primarily intended for my own personal hobbyist use with my bots. i can only provide limited support for other use cases on a best-effort basis.
npm install twoot
# OR
yarn add twoot
# OR
pnpm i twootimport { twoot } from "twoot";

const results = await twoot(

status: "testing a twoot",
// upload a file from disk with with the `path` param, or pass an image
// buffer directly with the `buffer` param.
media: [{ path: "pingu.gif" }],
// some properties unique to a single service, like per-post visibility
// for mastodon, are supported.
visibility: "unlisted",
},
// pass a single service configuration object, or pass an array of them to
// post to multiple services at once.
