Why Choose This Threads Scraper

• 🔓 No login, no cookies — your Threads or Instagram account is never involved, and never at risk.
• ♾️ No post ceiling — walks a profile's posts page by page to the very end of its history, not just the first page.
• 🔢 Exact engagement — real likeCount, replyCount, repostCount and quoteCount integers, not rounded display strings like "1.2K".
• ⚡ Zero setup — no proxy and no configuration. Add a profile and run.
• 💸 No start fee — you pay one flat rate per record delivered (a reply is its own record), and an empty run costs $0.
• 🛑 No runaway runs — maxPostsPerProfile is enforced exactly, so your maximum cost is known before you start.
• 🧹 Deduplication built-in — stable post IDs, no duplicate posts in your results, even across parallel profiles.
• 🔄 Incremental monitoring — onlyNewPosts returns only what you have not already seen, so a daily threads daily scraper run costs a fraction of the first.
• 💬 Replies included — opt in and every post arrives with its public reply snapshot.
• 🔌 Automation-ready — n8n, Make, Zapier, scheduling, and a simple REST API.
• 📄 Honest about limits — the search snapshot cap and expiring media URLs are documented below, not hidden.

How It Compares

Feature	This Scraper	Typical Threads scraper
Login / cookies required	✅ never	❌ many require an account — "let my Threads account be blocked"
Profile history depth	✅ full history, no cap	❌ commonly capped — "Only allows scraping of 25 posts"
Actor start fee	✅ none	❌ $0.04–$0.20 charged before any result (live store pricing)
Charged on empty run	✅ $0	❌ start fee still billed
Exact engagement counts	✅ likes, replies, reposts, quotes	⚠️ often partial or rounded
Replies	✅ opt-in, with parentCode	⚠️ usually a separate paid actor
Post URL resolution	✅ built in	⚠️ varies
Incremental "new posts only"	✅ named watch-list	❌ rarely offered
Depth controls	✅ maxPostsPerProfile, onlyNewerThan	❌ some expose a single input only
Limits documented up front	✅	⚠️ rarely

Competitor column reflects publicly visible store pricing and published user reviews of Threads actors, not a claim about any one actor.

Use Cases

Threads Profile Scraper — Threads Unlimited Posts, Social Media Post History

Most tools stop after the first page of an account. This actor walks a profile's posts page by page to the end of its history — a bulk Threads scraper for accounts with thousands of posts.

Threads Analytics — Likes, Replies, Reposts & Threads Quote Count

Pull exact likes, replies, reposts and quotes for every post in one run — a Threads analytics scraper for measuring content performance without opening each post by hand.

Threads Monitor — New Post Alerts & Threads Posting Frequency

Schedule this actor with onlyNewPosts and a monitoringId and it becomes a Threads monitor — only posts never seen in a previous run for that watch-list are returned, so you're alerted as soon as a tracked account posts. Follow-up runs stop as soon as they reach posts already reported, so a daily monitor costs a fraction of the first run. Every post carries its timestamp, so posting frequency and cadence fall straight out of the dataset.

Competitor Post Tracker & Threads Share of Voice

Point it at any competitor, brand, or creator's public profile and get their full posting history with engagement — built for social listening, trend research, and content benchmarking. Pull several accounts in one run to measure share of voice across them.

Threads Replies Scraper

Turn on includeReplies and every post comes with its reply snapshot — who replied, what they said, and their own engagement — for conversation analysis.

Threads Keyword & Hashtag Search

Give it keywords or hashtags and get a snapshot of matching public posts — useful for brand mentions, campaign tracking, and trend discovery. (Search returns a snapshot, not a full archive — see Honest Limitations.)

Threads Paid Partnership & Branded-Post Reporting

Each post carries Threads' own paid-partnership flag whenever the post is published with one, so sponsored content can be separated from organic in reporting. (Threads does not publish the flag on every post — see Honest Limitations.)

Threads Academic Research & Market Analysis

Export a complete, timestamped post history with engagement for study samples, market sizing, or longitudinal research — no account, no API application, no manual collection.

No-Login Threads Scraper

No account, cookies, or session tokens required, ever. This actor never asks for Threads or Instagram credentials and carries zero ban risk to any account — the single biggest complaint about other tools in this category.

Threads API Integration for Developers

Use it as a Threads API — call it over the Apify API and get clean JSON back, with no app review required.

CSV, Excel & JSON Export

Every run writes a dataset you can download as Threads CSV, Excel, or JSON, or push straight into Google Sheets — ready for reporting without reformatting.

Automation for n8n, Make & Zapier

Wire runs into Threads automation flows so new posts land in your stack the moment they're published.

What's Supported

Input	What You Get	Depth
Profile (handle or URL)	Every post with full text, media, timestamp and exact engagement	Unlimited — paginates to the account's earliest post
Post URL	The full post record, resolved from its share link	Single post, plus replies on request
Replies (includeReplies)	Reply text, author and each reply's own engagement	Public reply snapshot per post (~45)
Keyword / hashtag (searchQueries)	Matching public posts with the same fields	Snapshot per query (~40–45), not an archive

Profile history is the deep surface. Search and replies are snapshots — the honest boundary is spelled out in Honest Limitations.

  "sourceType": "profile"
}

likeCount, replyCount, repostCount and quoteCount are exact counts read live from Threads — not rounded display strings. Replies carry parentCode (the post they answer) and sourceType: "reply". Media and profile-picture URLs carry access tokens and expire — download promptly if you need the files.

Fields are properly typed, and a post missing an expected field simply ships null for it — the run never crashes on one malformed record.

How to Use

1. In the Input tab, add one or more profiles (handles or URLs), and/or postUrls, and/or searchQueries.

2. Set maxPostsPerProfile as a cost guard, and optionally onlyNewerThan to limit how far back to go.

3. Click Start — results stream into the Dataset tab as they're found, so you can start using them before the run finishes.

Input format:

Field	Type	Example
profiles	array of strings	["zuck", "https://www.threads.com/@natgeo"]
postUrls	array of strings	["https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DdCYWl7GktV"]
searchQueries	array of strings	["nike", "#travel"]
maxPostsPerProfile	integer	100
onlyNewerThan	YYYY-MM-DD string	"2026-01-01"
includeReplies	boolean	false
includeMediaUrls	boolean	true
onlyNewPosts + monitoringId	boolean + string	true + "competitors"

Full profile history:

{
  "profiles": ["natgeo"],
  "maxPostsPerProfile": 1000
}

Posts with their replies:

{
  "profiles": ["zuck"],
  "maxPostsPerProfile": 20,
  "includeReplies": true
}

New-post alerts (schedule daily):

{
  "profiles": ["natgeo", "zuck"],
  "onlyNewPosts": true,
  "monitoringId": "competitors"
}

Keyword search:

{
  "searchQueries": ["nike", "#travel"]
}

Proxy

The actor comes with a built-in proxy that works out of the box — no configuration needed. Just run it.

Pricing

$2.50 per 1,000 records ($0.0025 per record) — one flat rate, nothing else.

No actor-start fee, and no add-on charge for engagement counts, media URLs, monitoring, or any field. You are charged only for records actually delivered, so an empty run costs $0.

Records returned	Cost
100	$0.25
1,000	$2.50
10,000	$25.00

Every record — post or reply — carries the full field set: exact likes, replies, reposts and quotes, text, media, timestamp and author.

What counts as a record: every row delivered to the dataset. A post is one record, and each reply is its own record, so includeReplies multiplies the count — a post with 40 public replies returns 41 records (≈ $0.10), not 1. Keyword-search results are records too. Use maxPostsPerProfile to cap a run's cost up front, and leave includeReplies off unless you need the conversations.

Schedule & Automate

Use Apify's built-in Scheduler to run this actor on a cron — daily, weekly, or hourly — for new-post monitoring or recurring engagement snapshots. Connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any webhook via the Apify API.

---

Integrations & Automation

Plugs into the entire Apify integrations ecosystem and any tool that speaks HTTP:

• Make (docs) — trigger Threads pulls from any Make scenario.
• Zapier (docs) — pipe posts into CRMs, alerts, or spreadsheets.
• Google Sheets — auto-export every run's dataset to a live content-tracking Sheet.
• Slack (docs) — get notified when a scheduled monitoring run finds new posts.
• Airbyte (docs) — sync posts to your data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Postgres).
• Apify API — full programmatic control via the apify-client SDKs for Node.js and Python, or direct REST calls.
• Webhooks (docs) — fire an HTTP endpoint when a run finishes, fails, or finds new posts.

---

Honest Limitations

• Keyword search returns a snapshot, not an archive. Threads publishes roughly 40–45 public results per query, and that is all any tool can return without an account. Profile history has no such limit — that is the deep surface here. Use search for monitoring and discovery, and profiles for depth.
• Replies are a snapshot too — roughly 45 top and recent replies per post, which is what Threads publishes publicly. A post with thousands of replies returns that snapshot, not all of them.
• Media and profile-picture URLs expire. They carry access tokens and stop working shortly after the run — download the files promptly if you need them.
• Private, deleted, or non-existent profiles return nothing. They're skipped with a warning and the rest of the run still delivers.
• Some posts don't publish a detected language, a paid-partnership flag, or a link preview — those ship as null rather than a guess.

FAQ

Do I need to log in or provide cookies? No. The actor works with no Threads or Instagram account, cookies, or session tokens, and carries zero risk to any account.

Can I get every post an account has ever published? Yes — profile history has no depth cap. Set maxPostsPerProfile high enough and the actor works back through the account's posts to the end.

Why does search return fewer results than a profile? Threads publishes only a limited set of public results per search query. Profile history is the deep surface; search is a snapshot for discovery and monitoring.

Can I monitor accounts for new posts? Yes. Enable onlyNewPosts with a monitoringId and schedule the actor — each run returns only posts never seen before under that monitor.

Does it return replies? Yes — enable includeReplies and each post comes with its public reply snapshot, each reply carrying parentCode.

Do the media URLs work forever? No — they expire shortly after the run. Download the files promptly if you need them.

Do I need my own proxy? No. The actor works out of the box — a built-in proxy handles it automatically.

Can I export results to a spreadsheet? Yes. After the run completes, go to Storage → Dataset → Export → choose CSV, Excel, or JSON, or auto-export to Google Sheets via the Apify integration.

Can I run this via API? Yes — use the Apify API or the official Node.js/Python SDKs to trigger runs and retrieve results programmatically.

Is it legal to scrape public Threads posts? The actor only extracts publicly available data — what Threads displays to any visitor without an account. It does not bypass login walls or extract private data. You are responsible for compliance with Threads' Terms of Service and applicable laws when using the extracted data.
