Threads Replies Scraper

🧵 Find public Threads replies with conversation context

For social media researchers, community teams, and developers, Threads Replies Scraper collects public replies from submitted Threads post or profile URLs. It saves structured records with reply text, timestamps, authors, engagement, media, conversation links, root-post context, and the source URL, so you can review or export the data without copying replies by hand.

• Collect replies from a public Threads post with Threads Post Replies.

📦 Threads reply rows with source and context

Each saved row describes one public reply. It can include the reply author, text, time, engagement counts, media, mentions, hashtags, external links, reply state, and conversation context. The source URL and source type show whether the run used a post or profile target. Optional fields can be missing when Threads does not expose them.

▶️ Run a Threads reply collection

1. Set Target to posts or profiles.
2. Add one or more matching public Threads URLs to Source URLs.
3. Optionally set the reply limit, nested reply depth, and UTC time filter.
4. Start the run and open the dataset link in the output.

❓ FAQ

What happens when I leave the reply limit empty?

The Actor collects all available replies until the source is exhausted. A value sets a separate cap for each submitted post or profile.

Can I choose how many nested replies to include?

Yes. Use 0 for top-level replies only. A positive value includes that many nested levels. If you leave the field empty, only top-level replies are included.

Can I filter replies by publication time?

Yes. Set repliesAfter to a UTC ISO 8601 timestamp. The Actor includes replies published at or after that time.

Can I submit both post and profile URLs in one run?

Choose one target value for the run. Add post URLs when target is posts, or profile URLs when it is profiles.

Does the Actor return private replies?

No. It reads public Threads data only. Optional fields can be missing when Threads does not expose them.

How can I trace a reply to its source?

Use sourceUrl and sourceType to identify the submitted target. replyUrl, rootPost, and available conversation links add more context.

What does one billed event cover?

One billed event covers one public reply saved to the dataset. The current tier price is shown in Apify Console.
