Threads Scraper gets posts from public Threads profiles and keyword searches, with no login and no cookies: text, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, shares, date, images, video and author. Profile runs also return the account's followers and bio. It is made for social media managers, marketers, brand monitoring and researchers who need a Threads scraper to export Threads posts to Excel, CSV or JSON, or to track what people say about a topic on Meta's Threads app.

What does Threads Scraper do?

You can use two kinds of input, alone or together:

• Profiles: a username such as zuck, @mosseri, or a profile link such as https://www.threads.com/@mosseri (old threads.net links work too). The scraper returns the latest posts of that profile, plus the profile's follower count, bio and full name on each row.
• Search keywords: words, phrases or hashtags such as AI agents. The scraper returns the top posts, the recent posts, or both, for each keyword.

Threads shows a limited first page of posts to visitors who are not logged in, and that page is what the scraper reads: the latest posts of a profile, and the first page of top and recent results of a search. Each post becomes one row with its text, engagement counts, date, media type, first image or video link and author details.

On profile runs, only posts written by that profile are kept, so the table stays clean.

How to use Threads Scraper

1. Open Threads Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Add usernames or profile links to Profiles, one per line. Clear the list if you only want a search.
3. Add words or hashtags to Search keywords. Clear the list if you only want profiles.
4. For searches, choose Search results: top and recent, top only, or recent only.
5. Set Max posts per profile or keyword (default 50).
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Open the Output tab and export the posts as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

To monitor a brand or topic, save the input as a task and schedule it daily.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
usernames	list of text	["zuck"]	Threads usernames or profile URLs, for example zuck or https://www.threads.com/@mosseri. Returns the profile's latest posts with followers and bio.
searchQueries	list of text	empty (the form shows apify as an example)	Keywords or hashtags to search on Threads, for example AI agents.
searchMode	text	both	Which search results to read: both (top and recent), top or recent.
maxPostsPerSource	integer	50	Maximum posts for each profile or keyword, from 1 to 100. Threads shows about 10 to 25 posts per page without login, so you usually get fewer.
proxy	object	{ "useApifyProxy": true }	Apify Proxy settings. The default works for most runs.

Example input for profiles and a search:

{
  "usernames": ["zuck", "https://www.threads.com/@mosseri"],
  "searchQueries": ["AI agents"],
  "searchMode": "both",
  "maxPostsPerSource": 50,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Note for API users: usernames has the default ["zuck"], so if you only want a search, send "usernames": []. searchQueries is empty unless you send it. For example, a search-only run:

{
  "usernames": [],
  "searchQueries": ["AI agents"]
}

How much does it cost?

Threads Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $2.00 per 1,000 posts ($0.002 per post) on the Free plan. Apify platform usage is included in the price, and the follower and bio data on profile rows does not cost extra.

Plan	Price per 1,000 posts
Free	$2.00
Bronze (-10%)	$1.80
Silver (-20%)	$1.60
Gold and higher (-30%)	$1.40

Worked examples on the Free plan:

• 10 posts from one profile = $0.02
• 2,000 posts from a list of creators = $4.00
• 10,000 posts from daily brand searches over a few months = $20.00

What you are not charged for:

• Error rows: profiles or searches that could not be loaded, private profiles and sources with no posts.
• Posts by other accounts that appear on a profile page (they are filtered out).
• Duplicate posts: when top and recent results share a post, it is returned once for that keyword.

Use cases

• Brand monitoring: search your brand or product name every day and collect what people post about it.
• Competitor tracking: follow the latest posts and engagement of competing brands and founders.
• Influencer research: compare likes, replies and reposts of creators before a campaign, with followers on every profile row.
• Trend and topic research: search hashtags or phrases and see the top and recent posts about them.
• Content ideas: find the posts with the most replies and quotes in your niche.
• Sentiment analysis: send post text to an AI model or a spreadsheet for tagging.
• Reporting: track your own account's follower count and post engagement over time.

Tips and limits

• About 10 to 25 posts per page: without login, Threads shows one page of posts. The scraper reads one page per profile and one page per search mode, so a profile usually gives 10 to 25 posts and a search with both can give up to about twice that. In the run used for the example above, the profile zuck returned 10 posts and the search apify returned 20. A higher limit does not load older posts.
• Type usernames as they appear in the profile link (in lowercase, like zuck). Posts are matched to the profile by exact username.
• Replies in threads: when a creator writes a chain of posts, the follow-up posts have isReply: true. Filter on isReply if you only want the first post of each chain.
• Media: imageUrl is the first image only (the first slide for carousels), and videoUrl is one video link. Media links point to Meta's servers and can expire, so download them soon if you need them.
• Private profiles return an error row and no posts. When Threads still shows the profile details, the row says Private profile and includes them in profile.
• Proxies: the scraper retries a page with your proxy settings and, if that fails, tries once more through Apify residential proxy when your account has access to it.
• Enter each source once: duplicates are not merged, so the same username or keyword entered twice is scraped (and charged) twice.
• Error rows: Profile not found, Search could not be loaded, Private profile and No posts found. Each has source, input and error, and none is charged.

Use it from the API, Python or JavaScript

You can run the scraper and read the posts with the official Apify clients. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your Apify API token.

JavaScript (Node.js):

const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const input = { usernames: ['zuck'], searchQueries: ['AI agents'], searchMode: 'recent' };

const run = await client.actor('juliob.rangel/threads-scraper-fast').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
input = {'usernames': ['zuck'], 'searchQueries': ['AI agents'], 'searchMode': 'recent'}

run = client.actor('juliob.rangel/threads-scraper-fast').call(run_input=input)
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)

The scraper also works with Make, Zapier and n8n, can export results to Google Sheets, can call your webhook when a run finishes, and can be used by AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need a Threads or Instagram login? No. The scraper reads the pages Threads shows to visitors who are not logged in. No cookies or accounts are used.

Can I export Threads posts to Excel or CSV? Yes. Open the Output tab after the run and download the dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML, or send it to Google Sheets.

How many posts can I get per profile? Usually 10 to 25, the posts Threads shows on the first page without login. For more data, run the scraper on a schedule and collect new posts over time.

Can I get the replies under a post? No. You get the reply count (replies), not the reply texts. A profile's own follow-up posts in a chain can appear as rows with isReply: true.

Can I scrape private profiles? No. Private profiles return an error row and are not charged.

Is it legal to scrape Threads? The scraper only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with Threads' terms and with privacy laws such as GDPR and LGPD. Posts and profiles of people are personal data, so you need a legitimate reason to collect and use them.

Why did I get an error row? The profile does not exist or is private, the search page could not be loaded, or no posts were found. Error rows are not charged; check the username spelling and try again later.
