With XRPC, everything goes under an /xrpc/ directory — rather than /api/ or just calling a single /graphql end point.
For example:
/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.createRecord
/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile
/xrpc/tools.ozone.moderation.emitEvent
…

Anyone can create their own custom XPRC procedures. For example:
/xrpc/com.example.bing
/xrpc/com.example.bong
/xrpc/com.example.bang
/xrpc/com.example.isItBoomerang
Although, someone would have to implement the custom XRPC procedures into an ATProto service.

If you are building an atproto app, you can consume the Atmosphere feed via XRPC!
It closely follows app.bsky.feed.getFeedSkeleton, but returns atproto records (not Bluesky posts) and supports filtering by NSID:

Lexicon schema:

Although XRPC uses HTTP, XRPC is NOT REST-ful.
With XRPC paths are not necessarily nouns — they could be verbs, too, etc. I.e., verbs are not restricted to HTTP methods. And really, most of the HTTP methods are unused (and custom HTTP methods aren't used) by XRPC.

it also supports xrpc writes, spindles and such to keep it usable from the tangled web client. im running all my repos on it already git.klbr.net

does yours provide an xrpc api?

I do like the idea of user control.
What I was talking to @awarm.space about at community day was defining an analytics event lexicon, as well as an XRPC. Then apps could implement the XRPC and advertise it. Other apps could write events using the lexicon, and send them to the XRPC.

That allows each app to decide what to do with their own analytics data, and allows apps to report back to the source app if it exposes the XRPC.
- Leaflet exposes analytics XRPC
- User A creates post on Leaflet
- User B reads post on Standard Reader
- Standard Reader sends events to Leaflet's XRPC

Agreed, should maybe become a field `capabilities` in `describeServer` that lists all supported capabilities. Or another xrpc endpoint that can be queried.

Although using apps such as Bluesky, Blacksky, Leaflet, and others are convenient —
You could get your (or other people's) data yourself, straight from the ATProto PDS.
For example, here is an image from my PDS:

This is helpful for biblio.livtet.olamaelcu.net because I wanted to prime blocks to filter feeds but didn't want to write in anything too bluesky specific; we need a general interaction filtering lexicon *now*
Every query is documented from the lexicon files and served over /xrpc. Callers authenticate with a DPoP-bound OAuth access token.

Maybe XRPC queries and procedures? That’s still a bit of a question mark for me personally.

I'm on the verge of hacking together something to make a direct call to '/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob' just to upload PNGs of my photos with all EXIF & XMP metadata intact.
Making a post via "social-app" strips all that out & crushes the image into a 4000 px JPG.
or I could revive my Flickr…

Getting arbitrary public records is fine as they can be indexed by a trusted party. Getting arbitrary blobs is already more complicated because they hit a PDS that could be tracking and they could be arbitrary identifiers. XRPC is also tough but we can think of options.
