An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## 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. ### Example output ```json { "comments": [ { "title": "@bsky.app on Bluesky", "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l6ovfftinx2m", "date": "2024-10-17 07:07:26", "author": "bsky.app", "author_name": "Bluesky", "author_id": "did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur", "author_verified": false, "source": "Bluesky", "domain": "bsky.app", "snippet": "\u2022 Anyone can create and subscribe to feeds.

Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l6oveex3ii2l" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("data_direct/bluesky-post-comments-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/Q5sU0WcvKzG73EFAs/builds/EIGgcXZfTDfK8CtEO/openapi.json
