Followers and following items have the same profile fields, without banner and indexedAt. Their type is follower or follow.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for what you use: a small fee per run plus a fee per result. There are no proxy or browser costs, because the scraper talks directly to the Bluesky API. Current prices are shown on the Pricing tab. Apify's free plan includes monthly credits, so you can try it at no cost.

If a handle cannot be found, the run continues and adds one row with "type": "error" and the handle that failed, so you can see exactly what went wrong. Double-check your handles to avoid these rows.

FAQ

Do I need a Bluesky account or password? No. The scraper only reads public data through Bluesky's public API.

Is it legal to scrape Bluesky? The scraper only collects data that Bluesky makes publicly available through its official API. Results can still contain personal data, which is protected by laws such as the GDPR. Only scrape personal data when you have a legitimate reason, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure.

How many followers can I get? Up to 5,000 per handle per run. Run it again with other handles for more.
