Bluesky Posts & Profiles Scraper

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Bluesky Social, PBC. Content may since have been deleted on Bluesky.

Export public Bluesky posts and profiles as one row per record. It's for social media managers, researchers, journalists and brands who want to track public accounts, archive their own posts or analyse engagement.

Input: Bluesky handles, DIDs or profile links (and optionally links to single posts), plus a mode: posts, profiles or both.

Output (posts): text, created date, language, reply, repost, like and quote counts, reply and repost flags, embed type, linked URL, image alt texts and a link to the post. Output (profiles): handle, display name, bio, follower, following and post counts, and created date.

Every row carries the note "Content may since have been deleted on Bluesky." Posts and profiles can be deleted or edited after the run.

Data source and compliance

• Source: Bluesky's public AppView API (public.api.bsky.app). No login, no key, one request at a time, and it backs off when the API says to slow down (HTTP 429).
• Public posts and profiles only. No direct messages, no private data and no follower or following lists.
• Accounts that ask not to be shown to logged-out viewers are skipped (free skipped-account row).
• No Bluesky logos are used.
• Free-plan accounts get up to 100 results per run.

Pricing. Pay per result: $0.30 per 1,000 posts ($0.0003 each) and $0.80 per 1,000 profiles ($0.0008 each), the same price on every plan, no start fee. Free status rows are never charged.
