Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.001 per item (post or profile) saved. A 1,000-item export is ~$1.00, and maxItems caps both volume and cost.

Tips

  • Start with public modes. Profiles, posts, followers, and engagement (likers/reposters) need no login — reserve app-password auth for search and hashtag runs.
  • Export engagement, not just posts. The likers and reposters modes surface exactly who amplified a post — a signal most Bluesky scrapers skip.
  • Cap maxItems on follower/following pulls for large accounts to keep runs fast and costs predictable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Bluesky credentials?
Only for search, hashtag, and actorLikes modes — generate an app password in Bluesky settings and pass it as appPassword. Profile, posts, followers, following, feed, thread, likers, and reposters modes all work without credentials via the public AT Protocol API.
Can I export the likes of any account?
No. Bluesky's API only exposes actorLikes for the authenticated account itself, so the handle and login identifier must reference the same account.
How do I find a post or feed URI?
AT URIs look like at://did:plc:.../app.bsky.feed.post/... — copy them from Bluesky's API output or developer tooling. Feed URIs use the app.bsky.feed.generator collection.
Is it safe to use my app password?
Yes — use a Bluesky app password (created under Settings → App Passwords), never your main password. It's scoped, revocable, and passed as a secret input.
