Bluesky Scraper

Collect data from Bluesky: profiles (followers, following, post count, bio), their latest posts, and full reply threads, with likes, reposts, replies, quotes, hashtags, links and images. Keyword search is available with your own Bluesky app password.

Profiles and posts use Bluesky's open public API, so no login is needed for them.

What can this Bluesky scraper do?

• 👤 Profiles. Followers, following, total posts, bio and avatar for any handle.
• 📝 Posts. A profile's latest posts with full engagement numbers, optionally including their replies to others.
• 🧵 Reply threads. Every reply under a post, with nesting depth, to analyze conversations.
• 🔎 Search (optional). Search all of Bluesky by keyword or hashtag. Bluesky requires a signed-in account for search, so add your handle and an app password.

Use it from AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor)

AI assistants can run this Actor as a tool through Apify's MCP server. Add this server URL to any MCP client:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=rsiddiq95/bluesky-scraper

Then just ask, for example: "Get the 50 most recent Bluesky posts from bsky.app and summarise what they talk about." Agent runs cost the same per result as runs from the console.

How much does it cost?

Pay per profile and per post or reply collected. See the Pricing tab. Lookups that fail are free.

Limitations

• Search needs your own Bluesky login (an app password, never your main password). It is stored encrypted and only used to search.
• Profile feeds include reposts by default; they're marked with isRepost: true.
