Bluesky Posts Scraper — Author Feed, Likes & Reposts

Scrape any public Bluesky account and get one row per post: text, ISO date, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, a combined engagement total, and a clickable bsky.app link.

No login, no app password, no API key. $0.001 per post — an account that returns nothing is recorded and not charged.

Input

{ "handle": "bsky.app", "maxPosts": 100 }

Bulk, including replies:

{
  "handles": ["bsky.app", "@pfrazee.com", "https://bsky.app/profile/jay.bsky.team"],
  "maxPosts": 250,
  "filter": "posts_with_replies"
}

Field	Type	Notes
handle	string	A handle, @handle, a DID, or a bsky.app/profile/... URL.
handles	string[]	Up to 10 accounts per run.
maxPosts	integer	1–500 per account. You are charged per post returned.
filter	enum	posts_no_replies, posts_with_replies, posts_with_media.

What it gets right

• ⭐ Reposts are excluded by default. Bluesky's author feed also returns posts the account reposted, written by other people — even under posts_no_replies. Someone buying "this account's posts" does not mean that, and billing per reposted row is worse than useless. Set includeReposts: true if you want them; every row carries an isRepost flag either way.
• It pages past the API's 100-per-request ceiling, and asks for a full page each time — because filtering reposts shrinks each page's yield, so requesting only the shortfall converges too slowly and quietly returns fewer posts than you asked for.
• There is a clickable link. The API returns only an at:// URI; the public bsky.app URL is built from its record key. Without that you have no link to open.
• engagementTotal equals its own parts — likes + reposts + replies + quotes, so you can sort by reach without a spreadsheet formula.
• Real error messages. The AT Protocol reports "Profile not found" in the body; you get that instead of HTTP 400.
• It cannot spin. Paging stops when the cursor stops advancing, and is bounded by a page budget.

Pricing

$0.001 per post returned. No start fee. A missing account, or one with no posts under the chosen filter, produces an ok: false record and is not charged.

Limits

• Public data only — what a logged-out visitor can see. No followers lists, no DMs, no blocked or private content.
• Search is not offered. searchPosts returns 403 without authentication, so this reads author feeds. Point it at accounts, not keywords.
• 10 accounts per run, up to 500 posts each.
• Engagement counts are a snapshot at read time and keep moving.

FAQ

Do I need a Bluesky account or app password? No.

Can I search Bluesky by keyword? Not here — the public search endpoint requires auth.

Why do I see fewer posts than maxPosts? The account may not have that many under the chosen filter, or many of its recent entries were reposts, which are excluded by default.

Changelog

• 0.1 (2026-09-10) — first release. One row per post, reposts excluded by default, cursor paging past 100, engagement totals, bulk accounts.
