## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

Perfect for **influencer marketing agencies, brands, creators, social media managers, PR teams and B2B marketers** looking to find, follow or partner with the people shaping conversations on Threads and Instagram.

### ✨ Why this Threads Profile Scraper?

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Threads profiles?**
This actor only collects information that users have made public on their Threads profiles and posts. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with privacy and anti-spam laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CCPA…) and with Meta's terms: have a legitimate reason to contact people, personalise your messages and always include an unsubscribe option.

**Why is there an Instagram link?**
Every Threads account is created from an Instagram account and uses the same username, so the actor gives you the matching Instagram profile URL.

**Why did I get fewer profiles than requested?**
Some niches simply have few Threads profiles visible on the web. The actor stops automatically when no more profiles exist for your search. To get more, add more keywords (niches, roles, niche + city).

**Do I need a Threads or Instagram account?**
No. Just enter your keywords and run the actor.

**Can I schedule it?**
Yes – use Apify Schedules to collect new profiles daily or weekly and send them automatically to Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook.

### 💰 Pricing

Simple pay-per-result model: you only pay for the profiles you collect.

**Price: $9.99 per 1,000 profiles** 💵

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
