Skyblog is a French blogging platform/social network hosted by the French radio station Skyrock. It announced on 16 June 2023[1] that 'to comply with legislation on personal data' it would shut down on 21 August 2023[2][3].

Anonymized data will supposedly be saved by the INA (French radio and television archive) and BNF (national library of France).[1] No provisions were made for exporting user data except some instructions on using general 'website downloading' software.[4]

Site structure

Blog IDs appear to be sequential, with a maximum of ~124M. Blogs can be enumerated at endpoints such as https://www.skyrock.com/common/r/skynautes/card/<id>, which resolves to https://<blog-name>.skyrock.com/profil/. Each subdomain provides a sitemap.xml and atom.xml.

Individual posts are found at https://<blog-name>.skyrock.com/<post-id>-<post-slug>.html. Post IDs appear to be sequential and globally unique. Post slugs are not required; an incorrect or absent slug will redirect to the canonical URL as long as the blog name is correct.

There is a URL shortener at http://sk.mu/ (e.g.), but slugs are random and at 12 alphanumeric characters impractical to brute-force.

There is an API.
