Bluesky Scraper: Scrape Account Posts, Likes & Reposts

Bluesky Posts Scraper: Scrape Bluesky Account Posts, 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.
includeReposts	boolean	See below. Default false.

Output

{
  "ok": true,
  "authorHandle": "bsky.app",
  "authorFollowers": 34855310,
  "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3mv3zcjaijk22",
  "text": "Welcome to the ONLY event about Apple happening today…",
  "createdAt": "2026-09-09T17:02:28.502Z",
  "likeCount": 1712,
  "repostCount": 163,
  "replyCount": 360,
  "quoteCount": 51,
  "engagementTotal": 2286,
  "languages": ["en"],
  "isReply": false,
  "isRepost": false,
  "hasMedia": true
}

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.

Example

A real run on 2026-10-31 with the input this page's form is prefilled with:

{
  "handle": "bsky.app",
  "handles": []
}

It finished in 3 seconds and returned 25 results. It was charged for 25 post-scraped events ($0.025 on the Free plan). Each result has these fields (values are not shown here because they include people's names or contact details):

Field	Type
ok	boolean
handle	string
authorHandle	string
authorDisplayName	string
authorFollowers	number
uri	string
url	string
text	string
createdAt	string
indexedAt	string
likeCount	number
repostCount	number
replyCount	number
quoteCount	number
engagementTotal	number
languages	array
isReply	boolean
isRepost	boolean
hasMedia	boolean
embedType	string

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

• 2026-11-01: Page text only: a clearer page heading and an Example section from a real run. Code, output and price are unchanged.
• 0.1 (2026-09-10) — first release. One row per post, reposts excluded by default, cursor paging past 100, engagement totals, bulk accounts.
