Bluesky Scraper

🦋 Bluesky Scraper

Scrape Bluesky posts by keyword, hashtag or date range, and pull complete profiles, reply threads, custom feeds, lists, followers and likers. Every post comes with its text, author, like, repost, reply and quote counts, images, video, link cards, hashtags and mentions. No login, no account and no API key needed, and it costs $0.50 per 1,000 results.

✨ Why use Bluesky Scraper?

• 🔓 No login needed — reads Bluesky's public API, so you don't risk an account and don't need one.

• 🔎 Full search with date filters — Latest or Top sort, posted after/before, language, min likes and reposts, plus Bluesky operators like from:, mentions:, domain: and #hashtags.
• 🧵 Threads, feeds and lists — paste a post URL to get the whole reply tree with depth, or a custom feed or list URL to get its posts.
• 👥 Audience data — followers, following, likers and reposters, saved as profile items.
• 💸 Cheap and simple pricing — one flat price per saved item, whatever its type.

💰 Pricing

You pay $0.50 per 1,000 results ($0.0005 per saved post or profile), plus a small amount of platform usage (compute and datacenter proxy traffic, typically well under a cent for 1,000 posts). For example, 1,000 posts cost about $0.50, and 10,000 posts about $5. Nothing is charged for inputs that return nothing.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Bluesky? The actor reads only public data from Bluesky's open public API, the same data anyone sees without logging in. Make sure your use of personal data complies with laws such as GDPR and with Bluesky's terms.

Do I need a Bluesky account, login or proxy? No. No account, cookies or API key. Datacenter proxies are used by default and work well.

How many results can I get? Latest search pages back through time without a fixed cap, so large keyword jobs (10,000+ posts) work. Top sort returns up to 100 posts per search term. Profiles, feeds, followers and threads return everything Bluesky serves publicly.

Why is a field empty? Fields such as displayName, langs or images are optional on Bluesky; when the author did not set them, the field is null or an empty list.

Can I schedule it or use it through the API? Yes. Schedule runs to monitor keywords daily, and start runs and fetch results through the API or integrations.

Can I search by user, mention or website? Yes: use from:handle, mentions:handle or domain:example.com in a search term, alone or together with keywords.

⚠️ Limits

• Only public content: posts from accounts that require login to view, and blocked or deleted posts, are skipped.
• Top sort is limited to the first 100 matches per search term without a login; use Latest for more.
• Search operators other than from:, mentions:, to:, domain:, lang:, since:, until: and #tags are passed to Bluesky as text.
• Follower and liker items carry bio and avatar but no follower counts (Bluesky does not return counts in lists); add the handles as profile inputs for full counts.
• Video is returned as its HLS playlist URL and thumbnail, not as a downloaded file.
