Scrape public Threads posts by keyword. Enter one or more search terms and collect post text, author handle, post URL, like count, reply count, and timestamp. Useful for social listening, trend research, and content analysis across Meta's Threads platform.
What you get
Each result record contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
post_id | Unique post identifier (Threads code) |
post_url | Direct URL to the post |
author_username | Author's @handle |
author_display_name | Author's display name |
post_text | Full text content of the post |
like_count | Number of likes (when available) |
reply_count | Number of replies (when available) |
repost_count | Number of reposts (when available via API) |

posted_at | ISO 8601 timestamp when the post was published |
search_keyword | The keyword used to find this post |
scraped_at | ISO 8601 timestamp when the record was collected |
How to use
- Enter search keywords — Add one or more keyword phrases to the
keywordslist. Each keyword launches a separate search on Threads. - Set maxItems — The total number of posts to collect across all keywords.
- Run the actor — The scraper loads Threads in a real browser, waits for results to render, and collects posts by scrolling the feed.
Input
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
keywords | array of strings | Yes | List of search terms |
maxItems | integer | Yes | Maximum posts to collect (across all keywords) |
Notes
- Threads search is publicly accessible without login for most keyword queries.
- The actor uses a real Chromium browser with residential proxy to bypass Meta's anti-bot protections.
- Results may vary by keyword popularity and Threads' content freshness.
- Like/reply counts are populated when visible in the rendered DOM; some posts may have null counts depending on the page state.
- Threads is a fast-moving platform — results reflect the current state of the search feed at run time.
Technical details
