Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bluesky Scraper Scrape Bluesky (bsky.app) posts, profiles, followers, follows, and search results via the AT Protocol API. ### Features - **Author Feed** — Fetch posts from any user's timeline - **Profile** — Get full profile data (bio, follower counts, avatar, banner) - **Followers** — Scrape a user's followers list - **Follows** — Scrape who a user follows - **Search** — Keyword search across Bluesky posts (requires auth) No browser, no proxies, no captchas. Pure API calls via the AT Protocol. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `mode` | string | Yes | `search`, `profile`, `authorFeed`, `followers`, or `follows` | | `queries` | array | Yes | Handles, DIDs, or search keywords | | `limit` | integer | No | Max results per query (default: 100) | | `handle` | string | No | Your Bluesky handle (search mode only) | | `appPassword` | string | No | Bluesky app password (search mode only) | | `includeReplies` | boolean | No | Include replies in authorFeed (default: false) | | `expandThreads` | boolean | No | Fetch full reply threads in authorFeed (default: false) | ### Output #### Posts (authorFeed, search) Each item: `uri`, `cid`, `author_did`, `author_handle`, `author_display_name`, `text`, `created_at`, `indexed_at`, `reply_count`, `repost_count`, `like_count`, `quote_count`, `images`, `external_link`, `reply_to`, `labels`, `languages`, `tags` #### Profiles (profile, followers, follows) Each item: `did`, `handle`, `display_name`, `description`, `avatar`, `banner`, `followers_count`, `follows_count`, `posts_count`, `indexed_at` ### Use Cases - Monitor brand mentions and sentiment on Bluesky - Export a user's post history for analysis - Build follower graphs for influencer analysis - Track competitor activity - Research trending topics - Archive posts before deletion ### Pricing - $3.00 per 1,000 results - $0.01 per actor start ### Examples #### Get latest 100 posts from a user ```json {"mode": "authorFeed", "queries": ["bsky.app"], "limit": 100} ```` #### Search for a keyword ```json {"mode": "search", "queries": ["AI agents"], "limit": 500, "handle": "yourhandle.bsky.social", "appPassword": "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"} ``` #### Get profiles of multiple users ```json {"mode": "profile", "queries": ["bsky.app", "jack.bsky.social"]} ``` # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Scraping mode: search, profile, authorFeed, followers, or follows ## `queries` (type: `array`): List of Bluesky handles, DIDs, or search keywords ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of results to collect per query ## `handle` (type: `string`): Your Bluesky handle (required for search mode) ## `appPassword` (type: `string`): Bluesky app password from Settings > App Passwords (required for search mode) ## `includeReplies` (type: `boolean`): Include replies in authorFeed mode ## `expandThreads` (type: `boolean`): Fetch full reply threads in authorFeed mode ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "authorFeed", "queries": [ "bsky.app" ], "limit": 100, "includeReplies": false, "expandThreads": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ "bsky.app" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("noximilian/bluesky-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
