Why This Scraper

No Threads API needed. Meta has not opened a public Threads API for data extraction. This actor scrapes the public web interface — no credentials required.

Multi-strategy data extraction. The actor tries to extract the rich embedded JSON data from Threads' Next.js page structure first, then falls back to OpenGraph meta tags. This means you get data even when Threads updates their page layout.

Partial data preserved on errors. If full extraction fails, the actor still saves whatever profile data is available from meta tags rather than returning empty results.

Username normalization. Pass @mosseri or mosseri — the @ prefix is handled automatically.

Apify proxy integration. Runs with Apify's built-in proxy pool for reliable, unblocked access to Threads.

FAQ

Q: Does this work for private Threads accounts? A: No. Only public profile data and posts are accessible without authentication.

Q: Is Threads data available in all regions? A: Threads has geo-restrictions in some regions. The actor runs from Apify's global infrastructure, so coverage is generally broad.

Q: How many posts can I collect per profile? A: The maxPosts setting controls this (default 20). The available amount depends on what Threads embeds in the page.

Q: What does postsCount in the output represent? A: It is the number of posts actually extracted in the current run (not the total post count on the profile).

Q: Can I scrape Threads at scale — hundreds of profiles? A: Yes — add all usernames to the array. The actor processes them sequentially with retries on failure.
