💬 Threads Replies Scraper - Comments Under Any Post

Collect the replies under Threads posts: reply text, author, time, likes, reply counts, links and media, plus the answers under each reply if you want them. Top replies first or newest first. No login, cookies or API key. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🔎 What is the Threads Replies Scraper?

It is an Apify Actor that opens each post the way a logged-out visitor's browser does and keeps loading its replies page after page, about 90 per request.

Paste post links from threads.com or threads.net, including the short threads.com/t/<code> form. Each reply becomes one row that names the post it belongs to (root_post_url) and the post it answers (reply_to_url). With Include answers to replies on, the conversation under each reply is saved too, and depth tells you how far down a row sits.

Order matters on large posts. In top order Threads ranks about a thousand candidates: on a post with 2,446 replies the Actor saved 913 that way in 28 seconds. Newest-first order kept going to about 1,800 on the same post. The rest are replies Threads does not show to logged-out visitors. When top order ends early, the status message says so.

What data does it extract?

• Reply: id, code, url, text, posted_at, is_edited, reply_to_author
• Engagement: likes, replies, reposts, quotes, shares
• Author: username, full_name, author_id, is_verified
• Content: mentions[], links[], link_title, quoted_post_url, image_urls[], video_urls[]
• Conversation: root_post_url, reply_to_url, depth (1 for a direct reply)

postUrls	array	Links to Threads posts

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Threads or Instagram account? No. The Actor never logs in.

How many replies can I get from one post? Up to about 900 in top order. Newest-first order reaches more on large posts, about 1,800 of 2,446 in our test. Threads hides the rest from logged-out visitors.

What are nested replies? Answers to a reply. Threads shows the first ones under each reply; the Actor saves those when Include answers to replies is on. They count toward maxResults.

Does maxResults count per post or per run? Per post. Two links with maxResults: 500 can save up to 1,000 rows.

What happens with deleted or private posts? They are skipped and listed in the status message and the SUMMARY record. The run still succeeds with the other posts.

Can I monitor a post for new replies? Schedule the Actor with sort: recent and a small maxResults; each run returns the newest replies first.

What if Threads slows the Actor down? Threads limits how many reply requests one address may send. The Actor then continues from the same page through a new residential address.

Is it legal to scrape Threads replies? The Actor reads only what Threads shows publicly to any visitor and does not log in. Replies contain personal data, so GDPR, CCPA and similar rules apply to how you store and use them, and Meta's terms apply to you as well. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

Something is missing or broken? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the run ID. Issues are answered within one business day.
