The Bluesky API gives access to public data on the Bluesky social network: profiles, posts, threads, feeds, followers and search, for example to show a user's latest posts on a website. Endpoints follow the AT Protocol, such as /xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile?actor=bsky.app, and answer in JSON. Public data comes from public.api.bsky.app without logging in; posting needs an account and an app password. Free, no key needed for public data.
