• 📡 Subscribe to custom feeds by AT URI
• 📅 Filter by date range and language
• 💬 Optionally include replies
• 📤 Get rich post metadata: text, likes, reposts, replies, embeds, hashtags, mentions, links

💡 Why authentication?

Bluesky's public API rate-limits anonymous requests aggressively from datacenter IPs. Adding your own free Bluesky App Password (NOT your main password — App Passwords are revocable single-purpose tokens) lifts limits and gives reliable, full-speed scraping. Your credentials are never stored — they're passed only to Bluesky's official servers per run.

❓ FAQ

Is this legal? Bluesky's public API is open by design — the AT Protocol is built around portable, public data. This Actor uses official endpoints only.

Will my account get banned? No. App Passwords are intended for read access. Treat normal rate limits and you'll be fine.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes — use Apify's Schedule feature to run hourly/daily.

How fast is it? Authenticated runs typically pull ~3,000 posts/minute.
