Bluesky Scraper: Profiles, Posts, Followers & Search

An all-in-one Bluesky scraper built on Bluesky's official, open AT Protocol API. It's fast, reliable and needs no login for almost everything.

What it gets

Paste this	You get
A handle (@name.bsky.social or just name) or profile link	Profile details, latest posts, optionally replies, reposts, followers and following
A post link	The post and its reply thread, optionally who liked and reposted it
A custom feed link (bsky.app/profile/…/feed/…)	The feed's posts
Search people	Profiles matching a name or bio keyword
Search posts	Keyword search across all of Bluesky, sorted by latest or top (requires your own free app password; see below)

Every post includes text, timestamps, like, repost, reply and quote counts, languages, hashtags, mentions, links, images (with alt text), video, link previews, quoted posts and moderation labels.

Who uses this

• Brand and social listening: track mentions and topics as conversation moves to Bluesky.
• Researchers and journalists: collect public posts and threads around events.
• Growth and lead generation: find people by bio keywords, and export followers of relevant accounts.
• AI pipelines: clean, structured social data for analysis and RAG.

Input example

{
  "targets": ["bsky.app", "https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l6oveex3ii2l"],
  "maxPostsPerSource": 100,
  "postedAfter": "2026-10-01",
  "includeFollowers": true,
  "maxAccountsPerList": 1000,
  "userSearchQueries": ["data engineer"]
}

Post search needs a free app password

Bluesky only allows keyword post search for logged-in users. To use it:

1. In Bluesky, go to Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords and create one.
2. Enter your handle and that app password in the input. It's stored encrypted, used only to sign in to Bluesky for your run, and can be revoked anytime. Never use your main password.

Everything else works without a login.

Use it from Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets or your own code

• No-code: connect this actor in Zapier, Make or n8n (search for "Apify"), or send results straight to Google Sheets, Slack or email from the actor's Integrations tab.
• Schedule it: set it to run daily or weekly from Schedules in Apify Console.
• API: every run is available through the Apify API. See the API tab on this page for ready-to-copy examples in Python, JavaScript and cURL.
• AI agents: use it from Claude, Cursor and other AI tools through the Apify MCP server.

Pricing

Event	Price
Profile or post	$0.001 ($1 per 1,000)
Account in a followers, following, likers or reposters list	$0.0005 ($0.50 per 1,000)

Duplicates within a run and inputs that fail (for example, a handle that doesn't exist) are never charged. Failed inputs are listed in the run's FAILURES record.

Good to know

• The scraper respects Bluesky's rate limits. On very large runs it may pause briefly when Bluesky asks it to slow down.
• Only public data is collected. Blocked or deleted posts in a thread are skipped.
