It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## 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. ### Input | Field | What it does | Default | | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Post links** (`startUrls`) | The posts to read.

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. ### More Actors from us - [Threads Posts Scraper: A Profile's Whole Post History](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/threads-posts-scraper): A Threads profile's whole post history, back to its very first post, newest first. - [AliExpress Product Scraper: Search Results & Prices](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/aliexpress-products-scraper): Every product of an AliExpress search to its last page, with exact sold counts and ratings. - [Amazon Product Scraper: Search Results & Prices](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/amazon-products-scraper): Every product on Amazon's search pages to the last page, sponsored marked, with monthly sales. - [App Store Reviews Scraper: All Reviews, Not 500](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/app-store-reviews-scraper): Every written App Store review of an app, not just the newest 500. - [Facebook Ads Library Scraper: Meta Ads by Keyword or Page](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/facebook-ads-library-scraper): Meta Ad Library ads by keyword, Page or Ad Library link, with text, images, videos and dates. - [Facebook Comments Scraper: With Replies](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/facebook-comments-scraper): Comments and replies from public Facebook posts, reels and videos, with reactions by type. - [Facebook Pages Scraper: Contacts, Followers & Ratings](https://apify.com/luzivanlt/facebook-pages-scraper): Facebook Page details from links: exact follower count, phone, email, address, websites. ### 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): ```text POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/luzivanlt~threads-replies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token= ``` With the sample input as its JSON body: ```json { "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: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=luzivanlt/threads-replies-scraper" } } } ``` The client signs in with OAuth, or add `"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " }`. 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. ### Support Found a problem or missing a feature? Open an issue on the **Issues** tab and include the run's link. *** This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Threads, Meta or Instagram. # Changelog This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/luzivanlt/threads-replies-scraper/changelog.md # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Threads posts to read the replies of: links such as https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj (threads.net links work too). Each post gives you its replies, newest first. A profile, search or tag link is not supported. Example: https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj ## `maxRepliesPerPost` (type: `integer`): Stop reading a post after this many replies (nested replies included). From 1 to 10,000; 100 if left empty. You pay per reply saved, so this caps each post's cost. ## `includeNestedReplies` (type: `boolean`): Also read the replies to each reply, at every depth. Each one is its own row, with its level and the reply it answers. They count toward Max replies per post and are read after the page of replies they sit under, so raise that maximum to get them on a busy post. Off by default: only the replies to the post itself (and a replier's own follow-ups) are read. ## `onlyRepliesNewerThan` (type: `string`): 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". Leave empty for every reply. A date in the future is refused. Example: 7 days ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/Dd9aFLHgnnj" ], "maxRepliesPerPost": 20, "includeNestedReplies": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `replies` (type: `string`): Every reply the run saved, one row per reply. ## `allFields` (type: `string`): The same rows with every field. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
