Threads Posts Scraper

Extract structured public Threads posts from profile handles, profile URLs, and individual post URLs. Use it for permitted social listening, competitor-content research, or creator analysis; it returns one flat dataset record per post.

Do not use it for private, login-only, search, hashtag, follower-graph, or user-credential data. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to collect and use the data.

What it returns

Field	Description
postUrl, postId, text, publishedAt	Canonical public post identity and content
authorUsername, authorName, authorVerified	Public author metadata
likeCount, replyCount, repostCount, quoteCount, viewCount	Public metrics when the source returns them
media, hashtags, mentions, externalUrls	Public media and text-derived entities
source, scrapedAt	Provider provenance and collection time

Input

Provide startUrls as a list of @handles, profile URLs, or individual post URLs. maxPosts is a total run cap from 1 to 20, so it also caps the per-post event charges.

{
  "startUrls": ["@zuck", "https://www.threads.com/@instagram"],
  "maxPosts": 10
}

Pricing

• Actor start: $0.00005
• Public post scraped: $0.005 per validated dataset record

The default 10-post run caps event charges at $0.05005. Apify platform usage is charged separately under Pay per event + usage.

Reliability and limits

The actor uses ScrapeCreators for public Threads data first and SociaVault as a fallback. Both routes were probed before wiring. Threads can expose only recent public posts, and fields unavailable upstream are explicitly null rather than fabricated.

Every run writes OUTPUT and RUN_SUMMARY. Valid empty results succeed as VALID_EMPTY; exhausted providers with no useful data fail honestly as UPSTREAM_FAILED.
