This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Scraper - Posts, Profiles, Followers & Search

Scrape **Bluesky** through its official, open AT Protocol API. One Actor covers everything:

- **Search posts** by keyword, hashtag or phrase (latest or top), optionally in one language.
- **Profiles**: followers, following and post counts, bio, avatar, plus **emails and links found in the bio**, and each profile's latest posts.
- **Followers and following** lists of any account (thousands per account).
- **Replies**: give a post URL and get the post plus its whole reply thread.
- **Every post has**: text, date, language, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, hashtags, mentions, links and images.
- **Filters**: posted in the last N days, minimum likes, with or without replies and reposts. You only pay for results that pass.
- **No login, no proxy, no browser.** Runs in seconds.

### Input

  "searchSort": "latest",
  "profiles": ["bsky.app", "jay.bsky.team"],

### Pricing

**$2 per 1,000 results** ($0.002 per post, profile or account). No monthly rental.

### FAQ

**How many search results?** Bluesky's open API returns up to 100 posts per search term without a login. Use several specific terms, or schedule the Actor (for example hourly) to capture every new post.

**How many followers?** Up to `maxAccounts` per account, paging through the full list.

**Is this allowed?** Yes. Bluesky is built on an open protocol and publishes this data through its public API.

## CLI example

    "openai"
  ],
  "profiles": [
    "bsky.app"

## MCP server setup

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

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).
