Bluesky Post Comments Scraper

Get the replies to a Bluesky post. Returns every reply Bluesky serves for the thread, nested up to 10 levels deep, as a flat list; each reply is a full post with in_reply_to_id pointing at its parent.

Features

• Real-time Bluesky data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
url	string	no	Bluesky post URL, e.g. https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l6oveex3ii2l (max 500 characters). Provide either url or post_id.
post_id	string	no	The post's AT URI as returned in post_id, e.g. at://did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur/app.bsky.feed.post/3l6oveex3ii2l (max 200 characters). Provide either url or post_id.

Pricing

This Actor is billed per run — a flat $0.003 per run.

• One run returns all matching results for your input, and costs $0.003 — whether it comes back with one result or hundreds.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
