❓ FAQ

What is the Threads Hashtag Scraper?

It is a Threads.net scraper that collects the posts filed under a hashtag and returns them as structured data. You can run it from the Apify Console, the API, or on a schedule.

Do I need an account, cookies or an API key?

No. The Actor reads only what Threads shows to visitors who are not logged in.

Do I need a proxy?

The input defaults to Apify residential proxies, which keep runs reliable. You can switch to another proxy group, use your own proxy, or turn it off.

How many posts can I get per hashtag?

Threads shows a logged-out visitor one page per tag, in our runs roughly 15 to 20 posts, and offers no further pages. maxPosts caps how many of those you keep, per hashtag. Setting it higher than the page holds does not produce more posts, so run the tag on a schedule to collect new posts over time.

Can I use a hashtag URL instead of a name?

Yes. A tag name, a name with #, and a threads.com/tags/<name> link all work.

Why do a few results not mention my tag?

Threads decides which posts belong to a tag and sometimes includes closely related ones. The Actor returns the page as Threads serves it and labels every item with the tag you asked for.

Can I schedule it or integrate it with my app?

Yes. Every Apify Actor exposes a REST API, webhooks, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and Slack, and can be called from an AI agent via the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal to scrape Threads?

This Actor accesses only publicly available pages. You are responsible for making sure your use complies with Threads' terms of service and the laws in your jurisdiction.

What if Threads changes and the Actor breaks?

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with a hashtag that fails, so the problem can be reproduced.
