Search Meta Threads by keyword or hashtag and get every public post as a row: text, author, time, likes, replies, reposts, images, videos, links and mentions. Top, recent and tag pages in one pass, deduplicated. Finds matching accounts too. No login, no browser.
A username that does not exist (also private, renamed or deleted) is answered about three times faster: Threads serves such a request as its own login page with HTTP 200 and no "Sorry, this page isn't available" text, which the Actor used to treat as a blocked shell and retry three times with backoff. The login page is now recognised from its canonical URL and confirmed from a second exit address, without the backoff; search and feed pages keep the full retry budget, because there the login page means throttling.

Faster keyword search: result pages now load three at a time and only up to the part that holds the results (pages are 2–3 MB, the results end about halfway), and a page shared by two spellings of the keyword is read once. View counts are read by one continuous pool instead of chunk by chunk. The default 50-post search ran 27–122 s before (median 55 s), 25–69 s after — well inside a 180 s timeout.

Maintenance: run-end alerts updated to the current shared version; proxy helper updated to the current shared version; a run stopped by "Max cost per run" always ends with a status message telling you so.

Threads shows a logged-out visitor nothing for most phrases of several words ("web marketing jobs") and for Japanese/Chinese compounds ("マイナビエージェント"), while each word alone fills a page. Such a phrase is now searched word by word (Japanese and Chinese phrases are split into words first), and posts that contain every word are returned instead of an empty run.

Threads changed the internal ids of its "more posts", "more replies" and profile-replies queries. Profiles again page past the first screen (before the fix only the first 25–49 posts came back after a minute-long search for the new id), and the new ids are now found in about 3 seconds if Threads changes them again.

Accounts whose feed keeps answering with pages that hold no new posts (seen on @netflix: 130+ such pages, 74 s for 4 posts) now stop after three empty pages instead of paging on.
A run with a short Timeout no longer ends as TIMED-OUT: shortly before the timeout it stops starting new keywords/accounts, skips the remaining view lookups, and finishes normally with every row collected so far. Targets it did not finish are listed in the NOT_ATTEMPTED record and are not charged; the status message says to raise Timeout for the full result.

Default memory tuned to measured usage, so runs use less memory.

View counts are read from just the start of each post page, so runs with views on are faster and lighter.
When Threads refuses a run, it pauses and then stops cleanly; keywords it never tried are listed in the status message and saved to the NOT_ATTEMPTED record, free of charge.
Pages refused on the configured proxy get one more try over a residential route, so fewer runs end with error rows.
Memory use capped on parallel requests and a connection leak fixed, so long runs no longer run out of memory; runs capped by your maximum cost no longer stop early.

Rows are written in chunks of 16 as they are ready, so results appear within seconds and a stopped run keeps what it already delivered; view lookups run faster.
Runs stop cleanly at your maximum cost per run instead of being aborted; nothing beyond your limit is written or charged.

Search results that actually contain your keyword now come first, instead of unrelated posts from the same thread.
New options: "expand queries" (also searches singular/plural and hashtag forms to find more posts) and "strict keyword match" (keep only posts that contain the keyword).
2026-09-24
New "View counts" option (on by default): every post row now carries viewCount, at no extra charge.

Initial release: turns keywords and hashtags into rows of public Threads posts with text, author, time, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, shares, media, links, mentions and hashtags, combining top, recent and tag result pages without duplicates; can also return the accounts behind a keyword; no login needed.
