# Post
> Fetches a public Bluesky post by URL: its text, hashtags, mentions and links, language, the author, like / repost / reply / quote / bookmark counts, images, video or link preview, the quoted post (or embedded feed, list or starter pack), reply restrictions and content labels — plus its thread context: for a reply, the parent and root posts and every post above it, root first, and whether it is part of the author’s own thread.
**Cost: 1 credit** per successful request. Errors and cache hits (`cache_max_age`) are free.
Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or your coding assistant to generate working code for this endpoint (use the copy button).
```text Prompt
I want to make an API call to /v1/bluesky/post. Here are the details:
Endpoint: GET https://api.scraperize.com/v1/bluesky/post
Description: Fetches a public Bluesky post by URL: its text, hashtags, mentions and links, language, the author, like / repost / reply / quote / bookmark counts, images, video or link preview, the quoted post (or embedded feed, list or starter pack), reply restrictions and content labels — plus its thread context: for a reply, the parent and root posts and every post above it, root first, and whether it is part of the author’s own thread.
Required Headers:
- x-api-key: Your API key
Parameters:
- url (string) [required]: Bluesky post link, e.g. `https://bsky.app/profile/espn.com/post/3muznlkmspz2x` (the handle or the DID form both work; the post’s `at://` URI is accepted too).
- cache_max_age (select): Optional. Return a cached result if one this age or newer exists — served for **0 credits** with `meta.cached=true` and `meta.cachedAt`. Otherwise a fresh scrape runs (**1 credit**) and refreshes the cache. Omit to always scrape fresh.

## OpenAPI
````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/bluesky/post
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
title: Scraperize API
version: 1.0.0
description: >-
Extract public data from social media platforms as clean JSON. Endpoints are
split by platform and by what they return, e.g. `GET /v1/twitter/tweet`.
## Authentication
Send your API key in the `x-api-key` header (or `Authorization: Bearer
`). Create keys in your dashboard.
## Credits
Each successful live scrape costs **1 credit**. Credits are prepaid and
never expire.
## Caching
Every endpoint accepts an optional `cache_max_age`
(`1d`|`3d`|`7d`|`14d`|`30d`). A cache hit within that window is returned for
**0 credits**.
## Responses
Success returns `{ "data": …, "meta": { "requestId", … } }`. Errors return
`{ "error": { "code", "message", "requestId" } }` with a matching HTTP
status. `meta` on a scrape carries `creditsCharged`, `creditsRemaining`,
`cached`, and (on a hit) `cachedAt`.
## Rate limits
Requests are limited per team per minute; over the limit returns `429` with
a `Retry-After` header.
