```text Prompt
I want to make an API call to /v1/bluesky/profile. Here are the details:
Endpoint: GET https://api.scraperize.com/v1/bluesky/profile
Description: Fetches a public Bluesky profile by handle: DID, display name, bio, pronouns, website, avatar and banner, follower / following / post counts, how many lists, feeds and starter packs the account made, whether it is a labeler, its verification (and who verified it), DM settings, the pinned post, a live status, the starter pack it joined through, labels, and when the account was created.
Required Headers:
- x-api-key: Your API key
Parameters:
- handle (string) [required]: Bluesky handle, e.g. `espn.com` or `name.bsky.social`. A leading `@`, a `bsky.app/profile/...` URL or the account DID (`did:plc:...`) also work.
- 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/profile
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.
