# Bluesky Public Data connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Bluesky data to Supermetrics.

You can connect to data sources from the [Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management). On the Hub, you can also [share an authentication link](https://docs.supermetrics.com/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-data-sources-from-supermetrics-hub#share-authentication-link) to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.

After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in [all available destinations](/docs/bluesky-public-data-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Before you begin

The Bluesky Public Data connector connects directly to the public AT Protocol API (`api.bsky.app`) without needing any authentication or special access permissions.

## Query types

Query types define what sort of metrics and dimensions are available. You need to select one of the following query types when pulling data.

- **User profile:** Provides the current status of a profile (no date range needed). Requires one Bluesky handle.
- **User posts:** Retrieves an author feed (including reposts) alongside engagement metrics over a specified date range. Requires one Bluesky handle.
- **Followers:** Retrieves the active list of followers (no date range needed). Requires one Bluesky handle.
- **Following:** Retrieves the active list of accounts being followed (no date range needed). Requires one Bluesky handle.

## Connection instructions

When connecting to Bluesky Public Data, enter the target Bluesky handle using either the `username.bsky.social` or `username` format.

1. Select the Bluesky Public Data data source [on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management) or in the data destination.
2. If prompted, choose to make this connection [shared or private](/v1/docs/about-shared-and-private-connections).
3. Click **Start**.
4. In your data destination, select a query type, if prompted, and enter the Bluesky handle to include in your reporting.
