Complete Guide to Bluesky API Integration: Authorization, Posting, Analytics & Comments
In the ever-changing landscape of social media platforms, Bluesky is emerging as a promising decentralized alternative to traditional networks – they recently hit 28 million registered Bluesky users and continue to grow. Built on the AT Protocol (formerly known as the Authenticated Transfer Protocol), Bluesky offers a unique approach to social networking that emphasizes user control, data portability, and algorithmic choice, plus an easy to use Bluesky API.
An interesting bit of history is that Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey, who was one of the Twitter founders. He was no longer involved with Bluesky as of 2019.
For developers and businesses looking to integrate social media functionality into their applications, understanding how to work with the Bluesky API is becoming increasingly important. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about integrating with Bluesky, from basic authentication and publishing posts (text, image, and videos) to advanced features like analytics and comment management.
As you go through this guide, we recommend referencing the Bluesky API docs. If you don’t want to handle the integration yourself, you can check out Ayrshare’s social API.
