The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/bluesky/posts/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/post/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field Bluesky doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts The Bluesky account: its handle, with or without the @ (alice.bsky.social, espn.com), its DID (did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur, did:web:didweb.watch), which is the id every answer gives, or a link to its profile. - ### Write one parser Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix). - **`url`string**: Canonical post URL. - **`type`string**: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other. - **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …). - **`title`string**: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms. - **`text`string**: Caption, description or body as plain text. - **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

Set tab=replies for those too. - The list goes by each item's latest activity: a post by when it was posted, a repost by when it was reposted, so a repost of an older post sits among recent items. published_at stays the post's own, and platform_specific.bluesky.reposted_by and reposted_at say who reposted it and when. - The pinned post comes first on the posts and replies tabs, and isn't repeated where it was posted. The media and video tabs show it only where it was posted. - An account that chose to be seen only by signed-in people returns private_or_unavailable, as the app answers a logged-out visitor. - A post of such an account that this one reposted is left out, so a page can hold fewer posts than its limit, or none, and still have a next_cursor. - If Bluesky's AppView (its main API) is down, the posts and replies tabs are read from the account's own repository instead. Counts, the author's badge and is_nsfw are then null, url names the author by DID, reposts aren't listed, and a partial_data warning says so. The media and video tabs then fail. ## 1 credit per page.
