I don't have quite as clear a picture on this one, but again is related to my photo gallery project that is attempting to utilize the Holos API.

https://home.scoobysnack.net/gallery/configure/

Through all the platforms I've added thus far, I was able to explicitly exclude or allow bot posts. However, Holos doesn't have this filter option and the bot indicator is not passed back in the API responses.

I do see that the is_bot flag has a place in the actors table, so I assume it's getting collected.

But, that value is not filterable in the API, and that value doesn't appear in the API response that I can find.

Please consider including is_bot as both:

A filter (include, exclude, bots only)
A field in the post response ( authorIsBot )

Appreciate your consideration.

Thank you for the feedback. Issues #6 and #7 should be fixed now.
