Bluesky Profile Scraper — Profiles, Followers & Following

Extract Bluesky user profiles in bulk: display name, bio, follower/following/post counts, avatar, and creation date, plus optional full follower and following lists, as clean JSON. No Bluesky login, no API keys. Paste handles (or profile URLs) and run.

Bluesky has 27M+ monthly active users and an open data protocol, making it the easiest major social network to analyze. Most audience-research tools don't cover it yet.

What data does it return?

Profile records:

{
    "type": "profile",
    "handle": "bsky.app",
    "displayName": "Bluesky",
    "description": "The official Bluesky account…",
    "followersCount": 33970246,
    "followsCount": 10,
    "postsCount": 800,
    "createdAt": "2023-04-12T04:53:57Z",
    "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app"
}

Follower / following records (when enabled): the same fields for every account in the list, with sourceProfile telling you whose audience they belong to.

Use cases

• Influencer research: audit creators' real follower counts, bios, and audiences before partnering.
• Audience analysis: export who follows a competitor and what they describe themselves as.
• Lead lists: mine bios of a niche account's followers for roles, keywords, and links.
• Growth tracking: schedule weekly runs and chart follower counts over time.
• AI pipelines: clean JSON ready for RAG, enrichment, or scoring; works as an MCP tool in AI agents.

Quick start

1. Paste one or more handles (brand.bsky.social), DIDs, or profile URLs.
2. Optionally enable followers and/or following export and set a cap.
3. Run, then export the dataset as JSON or CSV, or fetch it via API.
