Bluesky Grew 302% — Here's How to Extract Data from It (AT Protocol)

Bluesky grew from 10 million to 41 million users in 2025 — a 302% increase. Yet when I searched for Bluesky scraping tools, I found almost nothing. That's a massive opportunity for anyone doing social media research, brand monitoring, or audience analysis. Why Bluesky Data Is Different Unlike Twitter/X (which locked down its API and charges $42,000/month for enterprise access), Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol — an open, decentralized protocol that wants you to access data. There's no API key. No rate limit anxiety. No $100/month developer tier. The data is openly accessible by design. What You Can Extract From any Bluesky profile or search: { "handle" : "startup-founder.bsky.social" , "displayName" : "Sarah Chen" , "description" : "Building tools for indie founders" , "followers" : 12400 , "following" : 890 , "posts" : 3421 , "latestPosts" : [ { "text" : "Just launched our new pricing page..." , "likes" : 89 , "reposts" : 12 , "replies" : 34 , "createdAt" : "2026-03-20T14:30:00Z" }
