Bluesky's open API lets anyone export follower lists
Bluesky's AT Protocol exposes public profile data, including follower lists, through a documented API without authentication. A developer packaged the bulk export process into an Apify actor that costs $2 per 1,000 records. Use cases include vetting influencers, competitor analysis, and tracking follower growth over time.

The openness is a double-edged sword: great for developers and researchers, but also a privacy and spam vector that Bluesky will eventually have to address.
