🦋 Bluesky Scraper — Profiles, Posts, Search, Threads & Graph

Turn public Bluesky data into structured, analysis-ready records. Fetch rich profiles, author feeds, exact posts, complete reply threads, followers, following, liked posts, and profile or post search results from one Actor.

✨ Everything in one Bluesky dataset

• Profiles: DID, handle, display name, bio, avatar, banner, follower/following/post counts, labels, account dates, associated resources, and verification data.
• Posts: stable AT URI and CID, canonical URL, full text, author details, creation/index dates, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, bookmarks, languages, tags, and labels.
• Rich media: full-size images, thumbnails, alt text, aspect ratios, video playlists and thumbnails, external-link cards, and quoted-post context.
• Conversation context: reply parent/root URIs, exact-post hydration, and breadth-first nested thread export with depth markers.
• Discovery: paginated actor search and post search, with the originating query attached to every result.
• Social graph and engagement: paginated followers and following, public liked-post feeds, and the likers, reposters, or quote-posts attached to exact posts.

🚀 Common workflows

• monitor creators, brands, competitors, announcements, and engagement;
• build audience, follower-overlap, and influencer datasets;
• collect conversations for sentiment, topic, and community research;
• enrich public profiles and identify relevant accounts through search;
• schedule incremental ingestion into Sheets, databases, Make, n8n, webhooks, or AI agents.

⚙️ Flexible controls

Use independent limits for feeds, search, graph rows, and threads. Filter posts by date range, BCP-47 language codes, or media presence. Include replies and reposts when needed, and pass seenPostUris to avoid duplicate records in recurring runs.

Example input

{
  "actors": ["bsky.app", "jay.bsky.team"],
  "searchActors": ["climate journalist"],
  "searchPosts": ["AT Protocol"],
  "postUrls": ["https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3l..."],
  "includeProfile": true,
  "includePosts": true,
  "includeFollowers": true,
  "includeThreadReplies": true,
  "maxPostsPerActor": 100,
  "maxRelationshipsPerActor": 500,
  "languages": ["en"]
}

💳 Pay only for stored results

Billing is result-based: profile/search-profile records use the profile event, posts/search/thread/liked-post records use the post event, and follower/following records use the relationship event. Filtered, duplicate, missing, and failed inputs do not create billable dataset rows.

🔌 Automation-ready output

Every record includes a recordType, source attribution, and scrape timestamp. Export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, or access results through the Apify API, webhooks, schedules, integrations, and MCP.
