# Monitor Bluesky for new posts mentioning a brand or keyword

**Use case:** 

Searches Bluesky posts for a keyword such as a brand name and, on a schedule, returns only the posts not seen on the previous run: author handle, display name, text, timestamps, likes, reposts, replies and the post URL. Built for brand monitoring, social listening and support teams that want Bluesky mentions in a webhook or a sheet without a login.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/owlabee/bluesky-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
