Threads Profile Scraper: Followers, Bio, Links & Emails, No Login

Get Threads profile data for a list of accounts: one row per account with the follower count, full name, bio, bio links, the e-mails and phone numbers people put in their bio, verification, profile picture and topic tags. Optionally add each account's latest posts with likes, replies, reposts and views.

• No login needed. It reads what a logged-out visitor of threads.com sees. No account of yours is involved.
• Fast and cheap: one request per profile. 8 profiles took 15 seconds in our test.
• Contacts for outreach: emails, phones and bioLinks come out of the bio as separate fields.
• Usernames, @handles or profile URLs (threads.com or threads.net), in any mix.
• Latest posts on request, with filters for likes, language and date, and engagement rate per post.
• Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull results through the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n.

This Actor is a focused version of the Threads Scraper (same code, same prices). To find accounts by keyword instead of by name, use the Threads Account Finder.

What can you use it for?

• Influencer vetting: followers, verification, bio and real engagement per post before you reach out.
• Lead lists: enrich a list of Threads handles with the contact e-mails and links they publish.
• Competitor tracking: follower counts over time on a schedule.
• CRM enrichment: add Threads followers and bio to the accounts you already have.

Input

Field	What it does
usernames	Usernames, @handles or profile URLs, e.g. zuck, @mosseri, https://www.threads.com/@nasa.
includePosts	Also return each account's latest posts. Default off (profile rows only).
maxPosts	Max posts per account when includePosts is on. Default 20.
postedAfter	Only posts after a date, e.g. 2026-10-01 or 30 days. Paging stops at older posts.
minLikes	Keep only posts with at least this many likes.
languages	Keep only posts in these languages, e.g. ["en"].
includeViews	Fill viewCount on every post. One extra request per post, about 1.5 s each, not charged.

{ "usernames": ["zuck", "@mosseri", "https://www.threads.com/@nasa"] }

{ "usernames": ["mosseri"], "includePosts": true, "maxPosts": 30, "includeViews": true }

Other scrapers' field names work too: profiles, urls and startUrls are read as usernames or profile URLs.

Output example

{
    "type": "profile",
    "username": "nasa",
    "fullName": "NASA",
    "userId": "28829152388",
    "biography": "Making the seemingly impossible, possible. ✨",
    "followerCount": 12780727,
    "isVerified": true,
    "isPrivate": false,
    "profilePicUrl": "https://scontent…jpg",
    "bioLinks": [],
    "emails": [],
    "phones": [],
    "profileTags": ["NASA", "Space Threads", "Science Threads"],
    "followingCount": null,
    "url": "https://www.threads.com/@nasa",
    "source": "user:nasa",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-16T10:48:36.900Z"
}

profilePicUrl is the largest version Threads has. emails and phones are what the person wrote in the bio, so most accounts have none. followingCount is null because Threads doesn't show it to logged-out visitors. With includePosts, post rows (type: "post") follow each profile row, with likeCount, replyCount, repostCount, viewCount, engagementRate, media, language and date; see the Threads Scraper for every field.

How much does it cost?

The same prices as the Threads Scraper: from $1.50 per 1,000 results, plus $0.005 per run. One result = one profile row or one post. Platform usage (compute, proxy) is included.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 results
Free	$2.50
Starter (Bronze)	$2.00
Scale (Silver)	$1.75
Business (Gold) and above	$1.50

1,000 profiles cost $2.50 on the Free plan and $1.50 on Business. Accounts that don't exist are free.

Use it from AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients)

Add https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=alom/threads-profile-scraper as a connector (Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http threads-profiles "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=alom/threads-profile-scraper") and sign in with your Apify account. Then ask, for example: "Compare the followers and bios of @zuck, @mosseri and @nasa."

Limitations

• No follower or following lists, and no following count: Threads doesn't show them to logged-out visitors.
• An unknown username is named in the run's status message and is not charged; the rest of the run is delivered.

FAQ

Do I need a Threads or Instagram account? No. Nothing is logged in, so there is nothing to ban.

Where do the e-mails come from? Only from the public bio: if a person wrote an address there, it is in emails. Nothing is guessed or looked up elsewhere.

Is it legal? The Actor collects only what Threads shows publicly without login. Profiles are personal data: check that your use has a lawful basis (GDPR and similar laws), especially before you contact anyone.
