## What's an Apify Actor?

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 Quotes Scraper

Get the posts that quote a Bluesky post, newest first. Returns the full quoting post with its text, author, engagement metrics, and media.

### 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. |
| `pages` | integer | no | Number of pages to fetch and merge into one response (1-20, billed per page returned). Each page returns up to 50 results. Fetching stops early when there are no more results. |

### Pricing

This Actor is billed **per page of results** — **$0.003 per page**.

- Results come in pages. Use the `pages` input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–20); more pages means more results.
- You pay $0.003 for each page you fetch, so `pages: 3` costs **$0.009** and `pages: 1` costs **$0.003**.
- You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l6oveex3ii2l"
}' |
apify call data_direct/bluesky-post-quotes-scraper --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,data_direct/bluesky-post-quotes-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
