AT Protocol Benefits

Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol, an open standard for decentralized social networking. Benefits:

• Public API - No rate limiting like Twitter
• Open data - Posts are public by default
• No auth required - Read-only access without login
• Decentralized - Data federated across servers

Best Practices

1. Start with specific handles - Don't scrape random feeds
2. Use date filters - Focus on recent, relevant content
3. Exclude replies/reposts - For cleaner original content
4. Monitor hashtags - Track emerging conversations

Limitations

• Private/blocked content not accessible
• Rate limits on very large requests (handled automatically)
• Some older posts may be unavailable

Changelog

v1.0.0

• Initial release
• Profile and post scraping
• Search functionality
• Follower/following lists
• Engagement metrics
