What you get for each username

Type mosseri, @mosseri or a profile URL (threads.com or threads.net), one per line. Each profile is one row:

Field	What it holds
username, fullName, url, userId	Who the account is
followerCount	Threads followers, exact (the page rounds them)
instagramFollowerCount, instagramFollowingCount	The linked Instagram account's counts, when Threads shows them
bio, bioSnippet, bioLinks	The bio text and every link in it (real URLs)
emails, phones	Emails and phone numbers written in the bio, when there are any
profileTags	The topics the account picked for its profile
isVerified, isPrivate	The verified badge and the private flag
profilePicUrl, profilePicHdUrl	Profile picture, small and full size
latestPosts	The account's 10 newest posts: text, likes, replies, date and link
hasThreadsBadge, isThreadsOnlyUser, transparencyLabel	The Threads badge, whether the account has no linked Instagram, and Meta's label (state media and the like)

Use it to vet creators and brands before outreach, keep accounts' follower counts up to date on a schedule, or enrich a list of handles with bios and links.

Output

The Output tab opens on 👤 Profiles (picture, name, bio, Threads and Instagram followers, verified, topics, links). Every field has a label and a description in the dataset schema. In the prefilled run all 8 profiles had their follower count, 7 of 8 their Instagram counts, 5 of 8 bio links and 4 of 8 profile topics. Picture links are signed by Threads and expire after a few days.

Need the posts too? Threads Posts Scraper gets any account's posts, replies and reposts on the same engine.

Speed

Plain HTTPS on Apify datacenter IPs, no browser, 256 MB, three requests per profile. The prefilled run (8 profiles) took 8 s with the first row after 1.4 s (local run of this build through Apify datacenter IPs, 2026-10-03).

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.29 per 1,000 on Free, $1.99 per 1,000 on Starter, Scale and Business. No start fee. Only results in your dataset are charged; filtered posts and repeats are free. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the run stops exactly there. A run that Apify restarts never charges a result twice.

FAQ

Do I need a Threads or Instagram account? No. Everything comes from what Threads shows logged-out visitors, through Apify datacenter IPs (residential only as a fallback, at no extra cost to you).

Private accounts? You get their public profile row (followers, bio, picture), with isPrivate set.

A username that doesn't exist? It costs nothing; the run summary (OUTPUT) lists it as not found.

Followers or following lists? Threads shows those only to logged-in users, so this Actor doesn't offer them. You get the exact follower count and the linked Instagram's counts.

Is there a Threads API for profiles? Meta's official Threads API only reads your own account. Call this Actor from the Apify API, a schedule or an integration and get JSON, CSV or Excel for any public account.
