Bluesky Posts & Profile Scraper

Bluesky Posts & Profile Scraper extracts profiles and posts from Bluesky: bios, follower counts, join dates and verification, plus every post's full text, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, images, videos, links and hashtags. Scrape any profile's timeline or search all of Bluesky by keyword or #hashtag, and get clean, export-ready data.

What does Bluesky Posts & Profile Scraper do?

• Profiles: give it handles or profile links and get one profile row each (name, bio, followers, following, post count, join date, verification, avatar) plus that profile's most recent posts.
• Keyword & hashtag search: find posts across the whole network mentioning a keyword or hashtag, newest first or most engaging first.

Every post comes with engagement counts, media, links, hashtags, mentions and a direct link, and is marked as original, reply or repost.

On the Apify platform you also get API access, scheduling, integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, webhooks) and run monitoring, so you can track accounts or keywords on autopilot.

Why scrape Bluesky?

• Social listening & research: collect posts on a topic or hashtag for sentiment analysis, AI training data or academic research.
• Content strategy: find which posts get the most likes, reposts and quotes.

Tips

• Monitor a keyword daily: schedule the Actor with searchSort: latest and send new posts to Slack or Google Sheets.
• Hashtags: search #yourtag to get posts tagged with it.
• Profile snapshot only: set Max posts per profile to 0 to collect just profile stats for a list of accounts.
