Query Parameters

query*string

Search terms matched against post text.

sort?string

latest (newest first, the default) or top (Bluesky's own top ranking, which favours popular posts over recent ones).

Value in

  • "latest"
  • "top"
since?string

Only posts written at or after this time. ISO 8601 date (2026-09-01) or datetime with a timezone (2026-09-01T00:00:00Z); any other shape is rejected with a free 400.

until?string

Only posts written before this time. Same format as since. Set it to the oldest published_at of your last call to fetch the next older batch; the boundary is compared to the second, so a post from that same second can repeat, and deduplicating on post.id removes it.

lang?string

Only posts tagged with this language, as a code such as en, ja or ko.

author?string

Only posts by this account: a handle such as espn.com or a did such as did:plc:.... An account that does not exist returns an empty list.

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
