Bluesky Posts Scraper

Bluesky Posts Scraper collects public Bluesky posts as clean rows without a login: search by keyword, hashtag or exact phrase that pages back in time, all posts of any account, the posts of any custom feed, and the quote posts of a post. Every row has text, author, date, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, images, video, link card, hashtags, mentions and the reply context. $1 per 1,000 posts, no start fee, error rows free.

What is Bluesky Posts Scraper?

A Bluesky search API alternative for social listening, brand monitoring, trend research, sentiment analysis and AI datasets. Bluesky refuses to page search results for visitors who are not logged in; this Actor pages Latest results back by date instead, so one keyword can return thousands of posts. It needs no account, no app password and no cookies.

Mode	You give	You get
Search	keywords, #hashtags, "exact phrases", search operators	posts, Latest paged back in time or Top ranked (first 100)
Posts	handles or profile URLs	the account's posts, own threads, replies or media posts
Custom feed	feed URL in Bluesky URLs	the posts the feed shows
Quotes	post URLs	posts quoting the post

Search filters: language, date window, only posts by an account, only posts mentioning an account, linking to a domain or an exact URL, must have hashtags, minimum likes / reposts / replies, and only posts that contain the keyword.

What data do you get?

url, text, createdAt, language, handle, displayName, did, authorVerified, likeCount, repostCount, replyCount, quoteCount, engagement, mediaType, images[] (full size, alt text), video (playlist, thumbnail), externalLink (url, title, description), hashtags, mentions, links, isReply, replyToUrl, rootUrl, isQuote, quotedPost, isRepost, isPinned, labels, containsKeyword, query, source, scrapedAt.

How much does it cost?

Row	Price
Post	$0.001 — $1 per 1,000 posts

No start fee, no proxy charge, no browser — and error rows are free. Maximum rows per run is a hard ceiling on the bill.

How to use it

1. Choose Search and type keywords, hashtags or phrases — or choose Posts and paste handles.
2. Set Results per account, keyword or URL and, for search, Latest or Top.
3. Add filters, click Start, download JSON, CSV or Excel, or read the rows by API.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Bluesky?

It reads only public posts Bluesky shows anyone without a login, and skips accounts that asked not to be shown to logged-out visitors. Posts can contain personal data protected by laws like the GDPR — have a lawful reason to process it.

Why does Top stop at 100 posts?

That is all Bluesky shows a visitor who is not logged in. Latest goes back as far as you ask.

Can I get only new posts on each run?

Yes — set Monitoring mode — store name and schedule the Actor.
