Why This Scraper?

Bluesky has grown to 50M+ users and the AT Protocol is designed to be open and accessible. Other Bluesky scrapers either require authentication, use slow browser automation, or have confusing inputs. This scraper:

• Uses the fast public API — no browser overhead
• No sign-up required on Bluesky to use
• Clean defaults — click "Start" with the default inputs and get real results immediately
• All 6 modes in one Actor — no need to switch between different scrapers

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay-Per-Event pricing. You only pay for results returned, not for API calls or pagination overhead.
