Quick Start

Get started with Fluxer in minutes

1

Create your account

Sign up at web.fluxer.app or use your self-hosted instance. You can authenticate with email or OAuth2 providers like Bluesky.
2

Create a bot account

Navigate to User Settings → Applications and create a new bot application. Copy your bot token — you’ll need it to authenticate API requests.
Keep your bot token secure. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.
3

Make your first API call

Test your bot by fetching the current user information:
curl https://api.fluxer.app/api/v1/users/@me \
  -H "Authorization: Bot YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"

{
  "id": "1234567890123456789",
  "username": "my_bot",
  "discriminator": "0001",
  "avatar": null,
  "bot": true,
  "system": false,
  "public_flags": 0
}
