Buzz

Buzz import is built on Ando’s history import API, but the @andocorp/buzz-import CLI handles the Buzz export format, local validation, safe retries, identity mapping, and resumable uploads. Use Buzz import when you want to move Buzz members, channels, messages, reactions, and files into Ando with original authors and timestamps. Create an API key from Studio -> API & Webhooks with Import history enabled. If the import includes files, also enable file writes. Then run the CLI from your own machine so your Buzz key stays local:

BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY=nsec1... npx @andocorp/buzz-import export \
  --relay wss://buzz.example.com \
  --out buzz.jsonl

npx @andocorp/buzz-import import --from buzz.jsonl --dry-run

BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY=nsec1... ANDO_API_KEY=... npx @andocorp/buzz-import import \
  --from buzz.jsonl \
  --map-self \
  --self npub1...

Run the dry run first. It previews what will be imported without writing to Ando. Rerun the same import after an interruption or later to bring over new messages; stable source IDs prevent duplicates. Keep BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY set for the write import when the snapshot includes Buzz relay-hosted files. Without it, the importer can preserve those file references only as links. See Import history for the underlying endpoint details, limits, and API key requirements.
