# Track new followers of a Bluesky account

**Use case:** 

Scrape the most recent followers of a Bluesky account and, on later scheduled runs, emit only the accounts that started following since the last check. Each follower record has handle, display name, bio, account age and profile URL. The first run is the baseline; add a webhook to get new-follower alerts.

## Input

```json
{
  "mode": "followers",
  "queries": [
    "atproto.com"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "sort": "latest",
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true,
  "stateStoreName": "bluesky-new-followers-monitor"
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "type": {
    "label": "Type",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "query": {
    "label": "Query",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "handle": {
    "label": "Handle",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "displayName": {
    "label": "Display name",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "description": {
    "label": "Bio",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "followersCount": {
    "label": "Followers",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "followsCount": {
    "label": "Following",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "postsCount": {
    "label": "Posts",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "createdAt": {
    "label": "Created at",
    "format": "date"
  },
  "profileUrl": {
    "label": "Profile URL",
    "format": "link"
  }
}
```

## 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`).
