Threads Replies Scraper

Extract public replies and comments from Threads posts. First-level replies are collected by default, with an option to include publicly visible nested sub-replies. Get author info, available engagement metrics, media details, quote/repost signals, and verification status.

Note: Website structure may occasionally change, which could temporarily affect data extraction. Please test with small batches before large-scale use.

What Data Can You Extract?

For each reply

Field	Description
Author Username	The @username of who wrote the reply
Author Display Name	Public display name
Author Profile Picture	Profile image URL (high-resolution version when Threads exposes it)
Verified Status	Whether the author has a verified badge
Fediverse Enabled	Whether the author has activated ActivityPub sharing
Reply Content	Publicly available reply text (with emoji support)
Mentions / Hashtags / URLs	Extracted from the reply text
Posted Time	ISO timestamp + Unix timestamp
Likes / Replies / Reposts / Quotes / Shares	Engagement metrics when publicly available
Author Liked	Whether the original post author liked this reply
Replying To	Username of who the reply is responding to
Has Media / Media URL / Media URLs	Whether the reply has media, the main media URL, plus carousel items. Use Has Media and Is GIF for simple filtering
Is GIF	True when the reply contains an embedded GIF — handy for quick GIF filtering
Media Width / Height	Original media dimensions in pixels
Has Audio	Whether the reply contains audio content
Image Alt Text	Image description (alt text) when publicly available
Is Quote Post / Quoted Post URL	Quote post detection and target URL
Is Repost / Reposted Post URL	Repost detection and original post URL
Is Paid Partnership	Whether the reply is labelled as sponsored
Is Edited	Whether the text was edited after publishing
Reply Control	Who can reply (everyone, followers_only, mentioned_only)
Reply URL	Direct link to the reply
Source Post URL	The original post this reply belongs to

For each original post

The scraper also captures the post the replies belong to as an original_post row. The original post shares the same general fields (author, engagement, media, quote/repost, sponsorship) and additionally exposes View Count when Threads shows it publicly. Reply rows do not include view counts in this actor. Reply-specific fields (reply_id, reply_url, is_liked_by_author, reply_to_username) only appear on reply rows.

How to Use

Input

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
post_urls	Yes	-	Up to 20 Threads post URLs.
max_replies	No	50	Cap on how many replies to collect per post (10-50). Threads may expose fewer public replies than this cap.
include_nested_replies	No	false	When true, also collects nested sub-replies that are publicly visible during the run. Default keeps first-level only. Still subject to public availability and max_replies.

Example Input

{
  "post_urls": [
    { "url": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DTa3-B1EbTp" },
    { "url": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DSVRshjkbtK" },
    { "url": "https://www.threads.com/@mosseri/post/DZ5UXU0G-DX" }
  ]
}

Replace these examples with public Threads post URLs you want to analyze.

Output Example

All data is saved to the dataset. Each record has an item_type field ("original_post" or "reply") and a source_post_url field to identify which post it belongs to. Reply rows use reply_id as the primary reply identifier when Threads provides it, so duplicate replies found across the same run are saved once. The examples below use fictional placeholder values.

FAQ

Q: Why do I get fewer replies than the post shows? A: This actor works from the public, logged-out view of a post. It returns the replies publicly visible during the run, capped by your max_replies setting.

Q: What happens if one post in my batch fails? A: The scraper processes valid post URLs independently and reports collection failures in OUTPUT. Invalid input format fails before collection starts, so incomplete or malformed URL lists are not silently treated as complete.

Q: Can I get all replies from a post? A: This scraper works without login, so it is limited to replies that Threads exposes publicly.
