Threads Replies Scraper: Every Page of Replies

Get the replies to Threads posts, newest first, page after page instead of stopping at the first batch: the text, the date, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, images, GIFs and links, with who wrote each one. Turn on replies to replies to get the whole conversation, each reply with its level and the reply it answers. Paste post links. No Threads or Instagram account needed.

Tested daily. Latest checks: 1,803 replies from one post in under 2 minutes; 418 replies from 2 posts with replies to replies on.

What does this Actor do?

You give it links to Threads posts. For each one it reads the post's replies from the newest back, about 100 at a time, and saves one row per reply until it reaches your limit, your date, or the last reply Threads shows.

A reply can come with its author's own follow-ups underneath it. Each of them is its own row, with reply_level 2 and the reply it answers in parent_reply_id. With Include replies to replies on, the Actor also reads the replies to each reply, at every depth, and places each one the same way.

Each reply comes with:

• its text, link and date, and whether it was edited
• its likes, replies, reposts and quotes
• whether it is text or an image, with the image and video links, and its GIF
• the link it shares, the links and accounts named in its text, the post it quotes and its topic tag, when it has them
• its level in the conversation, the reply it answers and the account it answers
• whether the post's author pinned it or liked it
• the author's username, name, ids, picture, verified badge and whether the account is private
• the post it replies to: its link, author, reply count and its own details

Why use it?

• Past the first page. The Actor keeps reading a post's replies page after page, so a large post gives you hundreds or thousands of replies, not the first handful.
• The whole conversation. Replies to replies are rows of their own, with their level and the reply they answer, so you can rebuild each thread.
• Newest first. Run it daily with Only replies newer than set to 1 day to follow a post's new replies.
• Know what you got. Every row carries the reply count the post shows, so you can compare it with what the run returned.
• Use the data anywhere. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send it to your own tools through Apify's API and integrations.

How to use it

1. Paste one or more posts into Post links: https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj or threads.net/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj both work.
2. Optionally, set Max replies per post, turn on Include replies to replies, or set Only replies newer than.
3. Click Start. When the run ends, open the Output tab to view the replies or download them.

A profile, search or tag link is not supported: paste the link of the post itself. Put one post on each line of the list.

Run it with no input to see a sample: up to 20 replies to a NASA post, charged as usual.

How much does it cost?

No surcharges and no paid options; an item that fails is not charged.

You pay for what you get:

• $1 per 1,000 replies ($0.001 a reply). Each reply is charged once per run.
• No start fee, and nothing per post.

So 500 replies from each of 4 posts cost $2. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops when it reaches it and keeps every reply saved so far.

How long does a run take?

About 100 replies every few seconds. A post with 1,800 replies takes about 2 minutes. Replies to replies take one more step for each reply that has any, so a run with them on takes longer.

Good to know

• Threads shows the public only part of a large post's replies. On the posts we tested, the replies you can read came to about half to 70% of the reply count the post shows (post_reply_count), and repeated reads of the same post gave the same replies. The Actor reads every reply Threads shows, to the last page.
• Pinned replies come first. A reply the post's author pinned opens the list whatever its date. With Only replies newer than set, an older pinned reply is left out.
• Replies to replies count toward your maximum. They are read after the page of replies they sit under, so with Max replies per post at 100 a post with 100 or more replies returns only its newest 100 replies. Raise the maximum to get the conversations under them.
• The date window and replies to replies. With Only replies newer than set, the replies to an older reply are not read, even when they are new; a newer follow-up under an older reply is kept, and its parent_reply_id names the older reply, which is not in the dataset.
• Check your input first. A link that is not a Threads post stops the run before anything is read, and the message names it.
• One post that cannot be read does not stop the run. A post that does not exist or was deleted ends with a message, the others carry on, and the run's status lists the posts that could not be read. Such a post is tried a few times before it is given up, which can add two or three minutes to the run.
• Counts move. Likes and replies are the numbers at the moment the reply was read.
• Remove repeats by reply_id. A daily run reads recent replies again.

Use it from an AI agent or the API

One call starts a run and returns its items (Apify waits up to 300 seconds; for a longer run, start it with POST /v2/acts/…/runs and read its dataset):

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/luzivanlt~threads-replies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

With the sample input as its JSON body:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj"],
  "maxRepliesPerPost": 20,
  "includeNestedReplies": false
}

Its inputs, in the order of the input form:

Input	What it takes	Default
startUrls (Post links)	Threads posts to read the replies of: links such as https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj (threads.net links work too).	—
maxRepliesPerPost (Max replies per post)	Stop reading a post after this many replies (nested replies included).	100
includeNestedReplies (Include replies to replies)	Also read the replies to each reply, at every depth.	false
onlyRepliesNewerThan (Only replies newer than)	Keep only replies from this date on: a date (YYYY-MM-DD, UTC) or a period such as "7 days", "2 weeks" or "3 months".	—

Apify's MCP server, https://mcp.apify.com, lists it as luzivanlt/threads-replies-scraper. To give an AI agent this Actor as a tool, add the server to the agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=luzivanlt/threads-replies-scraper"
    }
  }
}

The client signs in with OAuth, or add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" }.

Charged per reply delivered; the sample input above costs at most $0.02.

FAQ

Do I need a Threads or Instagram account? No. The Actor reads what anyone can see on a public Threads post.

Can it read the replies to a private account's posts? No, only public posts.

Can I get a profile's posts instead? Not with this Actor: it reads the replies to posts you link.

Can I run it from my own code, on a schedule, or with other apps? Yes. Like any Apify Actor, you can start it through the Apify API, run it on a schedule, and connect it to other apps with Apify's integrations and webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape Threads?

This Actor reads only public replies that anyone can see. Replies hold personal data, such as names, ids and pictures: check Meta's terms and the laws that apply to you (such as the GDPR) before you use the data. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer.
