Record Key literal:self Fixed literal value

Properties

about string Optional

Professional summary or about section. Longer-form than Bluesky's description field.

maxLength: 50000 bytesmaxGraphemes: 5000 graphemes
availableFromUtc integer Optional

Start of typical working hours in UTC (0-23). Used with availableToUtc for search filtering by work-hours overlap. Set via local-time UI, converted to UTC by the client.

minimum: 0maximum: 23
availableToUtc integer Optional

End of typical working hours in UTC (0-23). May wrap around midnight (e.g., from 22 to 06 for someone in Asia working US hours).

minimum: 0maximum: 23
avatar blob Optional

Professional-context avatar image. Overrides app.bsky.actor.profile.avatar when present.

maxSize: 1.0 MB
avatarSource string Optional

Where the professional-context avatar comes from instead of the avatar blob. 'actor.rpg.sprite' means the user's rpg.actor character: the actor.rpg.sprite record with key self in the same repository, rendered as a picture of the character. Apps that do not support the value, or find no usable record, fall back to avatar, then to app.bsky.actor.profile.avatar. Absent means use avatar. The avatar blob is kept, so removing this field brings it back.

maxLength: 128 bytes
Known values: actor.rpg.sprite
createdAt string datetime Required

Client-declared timestamp when this profile was originally created.

discoverable boolean Optional

Whether the rendered profile page may be indexed by search engines and AI tools. Default true when absent. When false, the rendering app emits noindex directives and excludes the page from any sitemap or push-indexing protocol. Does not affect the public visibility of the underlying ATproto records, which remain readable by any client.

displayName string Optional

Professional-context display name. Overrides app.bsky.actor.profile.displayName when present.

maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemes
familyName string Optional

Family (last) name. Maps to Schema.org Person.familyName. Optional.

maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemes
givenName string Optional

Given (first) name. Maps to Schema.org Person.givenName. Optional; if absent, displayName is used for rendering.

maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemes
headline string Optional

Professional headline (e.g., 'Senior Engineer at Acme Corp'). Distinct from Bluesky's displayName.

maxLength: 1200 bytesmaxGraphemes: 120 graphemes
industries array of ref id.sifa.defs#industryDomain Optional

Professional industry/domain pairs. Each entry has a required industry and optional domain refinement. Replaces the former singular industry/domain fields.

maxLength: 10 items
langs array of string language Optional

BCP 47 language tags indicating the user's primary professional languages.

maxLength: 3 items
namePronunciation string Optional

Free-form phonetic respelling of the user's name (e.g., 'Foo-kuh'). A native professional-profile field with no app.bsky.actor.profile equivalent; extends the name fields rather than overriding anything. Text only; the spoken version lives in namePronunciationAudio.

maxLength: 640 bytesmaxGraphemes: 64 graphemes
namePronunciationAudio blob Optional

Short audio clip (a few seconds) of the user saying their own name. Recorded in-app or uploaded. Complements the text respelling in namePronunciation.

maxSize: 1.0 MB
openTo array of string Optional

Types of opportunities the user is open to. Empty array or omitted means not actively seeking.

maxLength: 10 items
preferredWorkplace array of string Optional

Preferred workplace arrangements. Orthogonal to openTo. Empty array or omitted means no preference. Prefer the scoped remote variants (remoteLocal, remoteRegion, remoteGlobal) over the generic 'remote' token.

maxLength: 5 items
pronouns string Optional

Free-form pronouns text. Professional-context override for app.bsky.actor.profile.pronouns.

maxLength: 200 bytesmaxGraphemes: 20 graphemes
