Bluesky API
Profiles, posts and full threads from any public Bluesky account.
Overview
Read Bluesky the way bsky.app shows it: profiles with exact follower counts, an account's posts and reposts, and a post with its replies. Useful for brand and creator monitoring now that journalists, researchers and brands post there. Data comes from Bluesky's official public API, with its field names. Images, video and link cards are flattened into plain fields.
