}Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.
Collect public Bluesky profiles with follower counts, verification state, post volume, and moderation labels to compare creators across the decentralized social network.
Search public Bluesky posts by keyword, hashtag, author, domain, or language and follow the conversation with cursor pagination.
Map follower and following graphs, measure follow relationships between accounts, and pull the likes, quotes, and reposts behind a post.
Fetch full post threads with replies and parent context to analyse how discussions develop around a specific post.
Bluesky scraping API
Scrappa is built for teams searching for a Bluesky API, an AT Protocol data API, or a decentralized social scraping endpoint. Use one API key to collect public profiles, post feeds, full threads, post and user search results, follower graphs, and engagement data as JSON.
Use the profile endpoint when you need follower counts, following counts, biography text, verification state, profile images, and moderation labels.
Use the user posts endpoint when you need post text, media embeds, engagement counts, and cursor pagination for an account.
Use the thread endpoint when you need the full reply tree around a post, and check has_other_replies to detect a truncated result.
Use post search when you need keyword, hashtag, author, domain, or language filtering, and remember that the V1 and V2 generations use different filter names.
Everything you need in one API.

Yes. Scrappa provides Bluesky API endpoints for public profiles, post feeds, threads, post and user search, follower graphs, and engagement. You can collect profile metadata, post text, media embeds, engagement counts, reply trees, and follow relationships as structured JSON.
No. All Bluesky endpoints read the public AT Protocol AppView, which serves anonymous GET requests for public data. Scrappa never sends an authorization header, never uses cookies, and never requires Bluesky credentials of any kind. Only a Scrappa API key is needed.
Bluesky maintains two search generations. V2 is the current one and accepts sort=top or sort=recent, while the legacy V1 is the only generation that accepts the sort=latest token. Their filter parameters are also named differently: V2 uses plural keys such as authors and hashtags, while V1 uses singular author and tag. Scrappa keeps both generations explicit so a filter is never silently dropped and you always know which one ran.
The request is rejected with a 422 before any upstream call. The public Bluesky AppView silently ignores unknown parameters and answers with unfiltered results, which would otherwise look like a successful but incorrect search. Scrappa validates every parameter locally so a typo fails loudly instead of quietly returning everything.
Yes. Query public Bluesky profiles through the profile endpoint, or up to 25 at once through the batch endpoint, to collect follower counts, following counts, post volume, verification state, and moderation labels for creator research and comparison.
Paginated endpoints return an opaque cursor. Pass that cursor back unchanged as the cursor parameter to fetch the next page. Cursors are never parsed or reconstructed, so they keep working across upstream changes.
Yes. Every Scrappa account gets 500 free credits per month with no credit card required. Test the Bluesky endpoints before committing to paid usage.
Scrappa charges $0.20 per 1,000 requests with no daily caps. All Bluesky endpoints cost the same. The free tier includes 500 credits per month to get started.
