Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bluesky Scraper - Profiles & Posts Scrape **Bluesky** in bulk. Paste a list of handles or profile URLs and get each account's followers, bio and post count, plus its posts with likes, reposts, replies and media. **No login and no API key.** ### What you can do with it - Pull follower counts and profile details for a list of Bluesky accounts - Collect an account's full post history with engagement for research and monitoring - Track how a creator's or brand's Bluesky following and posts change over time - Export posts and profiles into your own app, spreadsheet or database ### Input | Field | What it does | Example | |-------|--------------|---------| | **Bluesky handles** | The accounts to scrape, as handles, DIDs or profile URLs. | `bsky.app`, `@jay.bsky.team`, `https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com` | | **Include posts** | Also return each profile's posts. On by default. | on | | **Max posts per profile** | How many recent posts to collect per profile. | `100` | ### Output One profile row per handle, plus one row per post (each row has a `type`). Profile: ```json { "type": "profile", "handle": "nytimes.com", "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com", "displayName": "The New York Times", "did": "did:plc:...", "followersCount": 1335839, "followsCount": 3, "postsCount": 39818, "description": "News tips? Share them here..." } ```` Post: ```json { "type": "post", "url": "https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com/post/3l...", "authorHandle": "nytimes.com", "text": "Breaking News: ...", "createdAt": "2026-07-16T14:00:00.000Z", "likeCount": 640, "repostCount": 210, "replyCount": 88, "quoteCount": 12, "langs": ["en"], "isReply": false, "isRepost": false, "imageUrl": "https://..." } ``` ### How it works Bluesky publishes a fully open, no-login API. This actor reads it directly, so it is fast and needs no API key and no proxy. It pages through each account's feed, so it can return the full post history you ask for. ### Limits - Public accounts and posts only (that is everything on Bluesky's public API). - Post search across all of Bluesky requires a login and is not included; this actor covers profiles and each account's own posts. - An account's feed includes its reposts; those rows are flagged with `isRepost`. ### Pricing Pay per result. You only pay for the profiles and posts you actually get. # Actor input Schema ## `handles` (type: `array`): Paste Bluesky handles, DIDs or profile URLs. Examples: bsky.app, @jay.bsky.team, https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com . One profile row plus its posts per handle. ## `includePosts` (type: `boolean`): Also return each profile's posts with likes, reposts, replies and media. On by default. ## `maxPostsPerProfile` (type: `integer`): How many recent posts to collect per profile. Default 100. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Optional overall cap on rows (profiles plus posts). Leave blank for everything. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Bluesky's public API answers without a proxy; add one only for very large runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "handles": [ "bsky.app", "nytimes.com" ], "includePosts": true, "maxPostsPerProfile": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "handles": [ "bsky.app", "nytimes.com" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("swerve/bluesky-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
