Bluesky Search Posts Scraper

Search Bluesky posts by keyword. Returns post text, author, publication date, engagement metrics (likes, replies, reposts, quotes, bookmarks), media, link cards, and quoted posts. Supports sorting, a date window, and fetching multiple pages in a single API call.

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
query	string	yes	Search keyword (max 500 characters). Bluesky search syntax works: "exact phrase", -exclude, from:handle, lang:en, #tag
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.
sort_by	string	no	Sort order: most_recent or relevance (default: most_recent) One of: most_recent, relevance.
start_date	string	no	Only posts from this date onward (format: YYYY-MM-DD)
end_date	string	no	Only posts up to this date (format: YYYY-MM-DD)

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.
