Good to know

• Only public data is collected, exactly what anyone sees on bsky.app without logging in. Accounts that ask not to be shown to logged-out users are respected by Bluesky's API.
• Post search without login gives the newest 100 posts per search term (Bluesky blocks deeper search for logged-out requests). Use several terms, a language or from: to cover more — or add your Bluesky handle and an App Password (Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords, never your main password) to unlock full search with exact date ranges. The password is stored encrypted by Apify and used only to log in. Profiles, posts of profiles, replies, followers and user search need no login and have no such cap.
• Replies are collected up to 10 levels deep.
