Bluesky extraction / 2026

How to scrape data from Bluesky in 2026

Bluesky has distinct profile and post URLs. Converting both into the same response shape makes the content easier to search, summarize, and combine with other public sources.

Quick answer

Use the public page URL you already have.

Send the ordinary public Bluesky URL to extractor.sh. Choose JSON for stable fields or Markdown when an AI model will read the result directly. The API uses GET, so an identical successful request can be served from Cloudflare’s edge cache.

curl --get 'https://extractor.sh/api/extract' \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app' \
  --data-urlencode 'format=json'

AI-ready output

Markdown for models. JSON for systems.

Raw HTML consumes tokens on navigation, scripts, styling, and interface labels. Clean Markdown keeps the readable hierarchy for LLM prompts and RAG chunks. Normalized JSON is better when your application needs an explicit semantic type, source, author, publication date, media, attributes, and collection items.

Always retain the canonical URL from the response. AI-generated summaries should remain traceable to the public source, especially when the underlying page can change.

Boundaries

Public data only

Private and deleted content is unavailable.
Replies and parent threads are not included.
Quoted or embedded content may be summarized rather than expanded completely.

extractor.sh does not bypass CAPTCHAs, login walls, paywalls, access controls, or regional restrictions. Review the source’s terms and applicable law before collecting or reusing data.
