Bluesky Scraper — Posts, Profiles, Followers & Threads

Scrape Bluesky (bsky.app) without login or API keys. This Actor uses the official public AT Protocol API, so it's fast, reliable, and doesn't break when the website changes.

What you can extract:

• 📝 Author feeds — all recent posts from any account (no login)
• 👤 Full profiles — follower/following/post counts, bio, avatar (no login)
• 👥 Follower & following lists — export audiences as profile rows (no login)
• 💬 Full reply threads — paste a post URL, get the whole conversation (no login)
• 🔍 Posts by keyword — brand mentions, topics, hashtags (needs your own free Bluesky app password — Bluesky requires login for search since 2026)

Quick start

1. Click Run — the default input fetches recent posts from the official @bsky.app account
2. Swap in the handles you care about, or add follower exports and threads
3. For keyword search: create an app password at bsky.app → Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords, and enter your handle + app password in the input (never your main password; revoke anytime)
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads only public data via Bluesky's official, intentionally open AT Protocol API — the same data anyone can see without an account.

Does it need my Bluesky login? No. Never share your credentials with any scraper.

Can my AI agent use this? Yes — this Actor works with the Apify MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, and other agents can call it as a tool.
