## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Bluesky Profile Scraper & Lead Finder (emails and links from bios)

Find Bluesky users by keyword (founder, realtor, photographer, "open to work"...) and get handle, display name, bio, follower counts and the emails and links people publish in their bios. Uses Bluesky's public AppView API: no login, no cookies, no browser, so it is fast and cheap.

### Quick try (under $0.01)

Input: `{"query": "founder", "maxResults": 5, "onlyContactable": true}`

### Input

- **query**: keyword to match against profiles.
- **maxResults**: number of profiles to return (default 50).
- **minFollowers**: skip small accounts.
- **onlyContactable**: return only profiles whose bio has an email or link.

### Output

One dataset row per profile (handle, displayName, description, followersCount, emails, links). Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from an AI agent via Apify's MCP server.

### Call it from code

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/exemplary_mezzo~bluesky-profile-lead-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"founder","maxResults":10}'
```

### Pricing (pay per event)

$0.002 per profile returned.

### Notes

Only public profile data is read. Use the results in line with applicable privacy and anti-spam laws. Related: [Website Email Extractor](https://apify.com/exemplary_mezzo/email-contact-extractor) to turn the links you find into verified emails.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("exemplary_mezzo/bluesky-profile-lead-finder").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call exemplary_mezzo/bluesky-profile-lead-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,exemplary_mezzo/bluesky-profile-lead-finder"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
