The data

Bluesky data,
ready to work with.

Bluesky handles are readable, but the account DID and post URI are the safer identifiers for joining records over time. A profile returns the visible account description and source-reported counts; user/posts is a separate window of published posts. Search discovers matching public discussion, while post opens an exact record for its text and engagement. The ESPN profile shown here was recorded on a specific date, so its follower and post totals are a snapshot rather than live counters. Monocrawl returns these public fields as JSON for research feeds that keep identity and source context attached.

Can a Bluesky handle change?

Yes. Keep the account DID from the profile and the original post URI when joining records; a displayed handle alone is not a permanent key.

Does search return every post about a topic?

No. Search returns a source window for the supplied query. Preserve its cursor and collection time, and do not treat one page as a complete conversation archive.

What Bluesky operations can I use?

The catalogue shows 4 currently available operations with their individual prices. Open an endpoint for its accepted inputs, returned fields and limitations.

How much does the Bluesky API cost?

Start with 150 free credits. Paid subscriptions start at $29 per month for 10,000 credits, before applicable tax. Each operation has its own price. Check the endpoint reference for variable charges. Compare plans

How do I authenticate requests?

Use your Monocrawl API key in the x-api-key header. The endpoint reference lists any additional inputs needed for the operation. Authentication guide

What request limits apply?

Limits depend on your Monocrawl plan. The Free account ceiling is 600 requests per minute and 50 simultaneous requests. Endpoint capacity and Free daily protections also apply; these ceilings do not guarantee source throughput. Read the limits guide

What should I know about Bluesky coverage?

A handle can change; retain the source DID and post URI when linking records. Follower totals and search results are dated public observations, not a complete audience or conversation archive.

Is Monocrawl affiliated with Bluesky?

Monocrawl is an independent service. Third-party names identify data sources and do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
