# Bluesky API

> Profiles, posts and full threads from any public Bluesky account.

- **Platform:** [Bluesky](https://lurkapi.com/docs/bluesky.md) (bsky.app)
- **Web page:** https://lurkapi.com/docs/bluesky

## 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 own field names; images, video and link cards are flattened into plain fields.
