## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🦋 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

```json
{
  "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.

## MCP server setup

```json

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
