Bluesky Data Suite — Posts, Profiles, Followers & Engagement Scraper

All-in-one Bluesky scraper built directly on the official AT Protocol API. No browser emulation, no proxies, no fragile HTML parsing — which makes it fast, stable, and one of the cheapest Bluesky scrapers on Apify ($1 per 1,000 results, charged only for what you actually get).

Output

Clean, flat, analytics-ready rows. Posts include: text, timestamps, language, author (handle/DID/display name/avatar), like/repost/reply/quote counts, hashtags, mentions, links, image URLs + alt text, external link cards, quoted posts, and the web URL of every post.

Common use cases

• Social listening & brand monitoring — track keywords/mentions as Bluesky keeps growing.
• Influencer research — find accounts by topic, rank by followers, export author feeds to gauge engagement.
• Audience export — pull follower lists of any account in your niche (great seed lists for outreach or lookalike analysis).
• Engagement mining — who liked/reposted a viral post = a warm, topic-qualified audience.
• Thread analysis — full reply trees for sentiment/community research.
• Datasets for AI — clean JSON posts by topic, language, and date range.

Why this one (honest comparison)

• Official API, not HTML scraping → doesn't break when Bluesky changes its UI.
• No browser, no proxies → starts in seconds, runs are cheap and fast.
• $1.00 / 1,000 results — pay-per-result; a failed or empty run costs you nothing.
• 10 actions in one Actor → one integration instead of six different scrapers.

About post search: Bluesky gates its keyword-search endpoint behind a login. Create a free app password (bsky.app → Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords), pass it in the input, and post search works — the credential is used only for the search calls and never stored. Every other action works with no login at all.

Scheduling & integrations

• Schedules — run it hourly/daily from Apify Console for continuous monitoring.
• API / SDKs — trigger runs from JavaScript, Python, or plain HTTP.
• n8n / Make / Zapier — pipe new posts or followers into Slack, Sheets, Airtable, your CRM.
• MCP / AI agents — usable as an MCP tool: let your Claude/agent search Bluesky people, pull threads, or export audiences on demand.

FAQ

Is this allowed? Yes — it reads public data through Bluesky's own public API endpoints, the same data anyone sees without an account. No private data, no login walls bypassed.

Rate limits? The Actor honors Bluesky's rate-limit headers automatically with backoff, so runs complete reliably even for large exports.

Charged for empty results? No. Pay-per-result means exactly that — 0 results = $0.

Does Bluesky have a public API? Yes — the AT Protocol AppView API, and it's exactly what this Actor uses. That's the structural advantage over browser-based scrapers: official endpoints, stable fields, no anti-bot arms race.

How do I export Bluesky followers to CSV or Google Sheets? Choose the Followers action, paste profile handles or URLs, run, and use the dataset's one-click CSV/Excel export or the Apify → Google Sheets integration. Works for any public account, no login.

Can I build a Bluesky monitoring dashboard? Yes — schedule Search posts (or author feeds) hourly, pipe the dataset to Google Sheets/Looker Studio or via n8n to your BI tool. Each row is timestamped and flat, so charting engagement over time is trivial.
