Common Questions
Why use Late instead of AT Protocol directly?
AT Protocol requires learning decentralized concepts, managing DIDs, and implementing record creation. Late abstracts all this complexity—one simple endpoint for scheduling posts on Bluesky and 10+ other platforms.
How does Bluesky authentication work?
Bluesky uses App Passwords instead of OAuth. Your users create an App Password in their Bluesky settings, and we handle the authentication, token management, and AT Protocol session handling.
What content can I post to Bluesky?
Bluesky supports text posts (up to ~300 characters), images (up to 4 per post), and videos. You can also create threaded conversations using platformSpecificData.threadItems.
Can I cross-post to other platforms?
Absolutely! Include Bluesky alongside TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Reddit, and Pinterest in one API call.
Are there any posting limits?
Bluesky has reasonable rate limits to prevent spam. Late handles these automatically with retries and proper spacing. Your posting frequency depends on your Late plan, not Bluesky's limits.
