Bluesky Scraper – Posts Search, Profiles & Leads

Search Bluesky posts by keyword or hashtag and turn the authors into leads. Get posts with likes, reposts, replies, hashtags, links and language, filtered by date range and language. Or switch to profiles mode to get one row per account with the bio, follower counts, and the links, emails and website domains found in the bio. You can also add each account's followers and latest posts. It uses only Bluesky's official public AT Protocol API (api.bsky.app), so you don't need a login, an API key, proxies or HTML scraping.

What can you do with it?

• Brand and competitor monitoring: schedule a daily search for your product name, a competitor or a domain (linkDomain), and get every new post.
• Lead generation on Bluesky: find the founders, agencies, developers and creators posting about a topic, and export their websites, custom-domain handles and public emails to a CSV or your CRM.
• Hashtag and trend research: pull every #buildinpublic or #booksky post in a date range, with engagement counts.
• Influencer discovery: run an account search, filter by minFollowers, and include each account's recent posts to check what they write about.
• AI, NLP and sentiment datasets: clean post text with language tags, hashtags and links in consistent fields.

Modes

Mode	One row per	What you get
posts	matching post	text, created date, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, hashtags, links, link-card title, images, reply/quote info, author handle and name, post URL
profiles	unique account	handle, name, bio, bioLinks, emails, websiteDomains, socialLinks (LinkedIn, GitHub, Instagram, X, YouTube, Linktree and others), customDomainHandle, followers, following, post count, created date. Optional followers[] and recentPosts[]

Profiles mode finds accounts in one of two ways. Post authors (the default) collects the authors of posts that match your query, which means people who are actively talking about the topic. Account search matches against name, handle and bio. You can also list specific handles.

Input

Field	Notes
queries	Keywords, "exact phrases" or #hashtags. Bluesky search operators such as from:handle also work.
maxItems	Per query.
sort	latest (default) or top.
dateFrom / dateTo	YYYY-MM-DD or an ISO date-time, in UTC. dateTo includes the whole day.
language	e.g. en, de, ja. This is the language tag the author's app set on the post.
author, linkDomain	Optional post filters.
minFollowers, onlyWithContact	Profile filters. onlyWithContact keeps an account only if it has an email, a website or a custom-domain handle.
maxFollowersPerProfile, maxFeedPostsPerProfile	Optional enrichment for each profile. 0 turns it off.

Pricing

Pay per event, with no start fee:

• $0.001 per post ($1 per 1,000 posts) in posts mode
• $0.002 per profile ($2 per 1,000 profiles) in profiles mode

The optional followers[] and recentPosts[] arrays come with each profile at no extra charge. Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it hits the limit. The 300-post test run above used about $0.002 of platform compute.

Limits (please read)

• Paging: Bluesky blocks cursor pagination on unauthenticated search (it returns 403), so the Actor pages by moving the date window back in time. With sort: latest this gives you the full time range. With sort: top, results are "top within each window", not one global ranking.
• Search coverage: results come from Bluesky's own search index. It can miss some posts, and deleted or moderated posts don't appear.
• Language depends on the tag the posting app set, so some posts are untagged or tagged wrongly.
• Emails are only the ones people typed into their public bio, including name [at] domain forms. Most accounts don't list one. Bluesky doesn't expose private emails, and this Actor doesn't guess them.
• Bio links are detected in plain text. Links cut short by the user can be partial.
• Rate limits: requests are spaced at about 4 per second, and the Actor backs off on HTTP 429 or 5xx using Bluesky's ratelimit-reset header. Large follower lists add one call per 100 followers.
