🔍 What does Threads Monitor do?

Threads Monitor checks specific public Threads profile and post URLs. It returns structured public post records and labels each one as new, changed, or unchanged.

By default, unchanged posts stay out of the dataset. This keeps scheduled alerts and downstream workflows focused on real changes.

Use it for brand mention review, creator tracking, public statement monitoring, research, or an internal watchlist. This v1 accepts direct URLs only. It does not offer broad keyword search.

🎯 Why use it?

• Communications teams can watch selected public accounts for new statements.
• Researchers can build a dated record from the moment monitoring starts.
• Automation builders can send only new or changed posts into another workflow.
• Analysts can see mentioned public accounts alongside the surrounding post text.

⚙️ How it works

1. Add URLs Paste public Threads profile or post links.

2. Choose a limit Keep the default five posts or set a bounded run size.

3. Run or schedule Reuse the same state key to receive later changes.

📥 Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
targetUrls	array of URLs	Yes	Direct public Threads profile or post URLs. Up to 20 targets per run.
maxItems	integer	No	Maximum unique post records inspected across all targets. Defaults to 5 and is capped at 100.
includeUnchanged	boolean	No	Includes unchanged records when enabled. Defaults to false.
stateKey	string	No	Selects the saved comparison history. Reuse it for the same monitor.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Optional connection settings. Direct access is the default.

Example input:

{
    "targetUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck" }],
    "maxItems": 5,
    "includeUnchanged": false,
    "stateKey": "executive-watch"
}

📤 Output

The first successful check labels discovered records as new. Later checks compare each canonical post URL and its public content with saved state. A changed content identifier produces changed; an identical one produces unchanged.

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML. A simplified record from a public Threads page looks like this:

{
    "postUrl": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DZpPDXbCeTt",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck",
    "authorUsername": "zuck",
    "text": "500M monthly actives on Threads in less than 3 years. Thanks for making this platform what it is. 🙏",
    "publishedAt": "2026-06-16T10:59:56.000Z",
    "changeType": "new"
}

💰 Pricing

Pricing is pay per result. There is no subscription. Runs with no emitted changes create no result charges, though normal platform compute usage can still apply. Keeping includeUnchanged off usually produces the smallest recurring dataset.

❓ FAQ

Can it search all Threads posts for a keyword?

No. v1 monitors only the direct public profile and post URLs you provide.

Does it need a Threads login?

No. It reads pages available publicly without authenticated access. Private, deleted, restricted, or login-only content is not collected.

Why is a repeated run empty?

That is expected when nothing changed and includeUnchanged is false. Enable it when you need a full current snapshot.

Does it provide history from before my first run?

It reads currently visible public records. Monitoring history begins when you first use a state key.

Is monitoring public Threads data legal?

Rules vary by country and use case. Review applicable laws, Threads terms, and your obligations before collecting or using data.
