Bluesky Scraper — Posts, Profiles, Followers & Search

Extract data from Bluesky — no account, no app password, no API key. Search posts by keyword, hashtag or date, download any user's posts, profiles, followers and follows, collect every reply to a post, or find users by topic. You get clean, structured JSON with likes, reposts, replies, quotes, media, links, hashtags and mentions.

Pay only for what you get: $1 per 1,000 results. No monthly rental, no start fees.

What can you do with it?

• 📈 Measure engagement — likes, reposts, replies, quotes and bookmarks for every post, plus the author's follower count.
• 👤 Analyse accounts — full post history of any user, with or without replies and reposts.
• 🤝 Find leads and influencers — search users by topic, export followers / follows with follower counts, bio links and bio emails.
• 💬 Collect conversations — every reply to a post, with depth and parent, ready for sentiment analysis or AI pipelines.

Pay-per-result: $1 per 1,000 posts ($0.001 per post); profiles $0.001 each. Platform usage is included. Author stats and full profile data are free extras. A post found by two of your queries is stored and charged once. Cap the cost of any run with Max total charge in the run options — the scraper stops cleanly when the cap is reached.

FAQ

Do I need a Bluesky account or app password? No. The scraper uses Bluesky's public AppView API — the same open API that the Bluesky app and third-party clients read from. Nothing is logged in and nothing is posted.

How far back can search go? With sort Latest the scraper walks back in time window by window, so you can collect thousands of posts per query. Bluesky only serves the first page of Top results to anonymous clients (~100 posts); add Posts from date and you get the top posts of every day in the range instead.

Does it respect rate limits? Yes. Requests are spread over a few parallel connections and automatically back off and retry when Bluesky answers 429 Too Many Requests. No proxy is needed; you can enable one if you run very large jobs.

Why are some replies or followers missing? Bluesky hides content from deleted, deactivated, suspended or blocked accounts and replies hidden by the thread author. Counters (for example replyCount) still include them.

What happens with a wrong handle? It is skipped with a clear warning in the log; the rest of the run continues.

Is it legal? It collects only publicly available information. You are responsible for using the data in line with Bluesky's terms and the laws that apply to you, including data-protection rules such as GDPR.
