Bluesky Post Thread API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
How much does the Bluesky Post Thread API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send uri. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a Bluesky login?
No. It reads public Bluesky data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds bluesky.feed.get_post_thread, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
Your first Bluesky call is free.
Up to 100 free credits to start, no card needed.
