Threads User Posts Scraper

🧵 Turn public Threads account posts into research data

Researchers, social media teams, and developers can collect public Threads posts from the accounts they choose. Get post text, dates, author details, media links, and available engagement counts in a dataset for research and reporting. No Threads login is needed.

• Compare the public engagement counts on posts from a list of creators.
• Save posts from brand accounts to review their published content.
• Collect replies written by chosen accounts to study what they discuss.
• Review the public posts that selected accounts share as reposts.
• Export post text, dates, and media links for a content report.

📦 Post content, authors, and public counts

Each saved row is one public post. Original posts, account replies, and reposts use the same row shape. Author details describe the post's author, who may differ from the submitted account when you collect reposts.

Rows include source IDs and publication times. Other fields appear when the source provides them, such as likes, replies, reposts, quotes, shares, views, media, topics, links, polls, and profile details. Missing data stays unknown rather than becoming a made-up value.

The first eligible match for a post is saved as it is found. If another submitted handle, link, or ID finds the same post later, that match is ignored. submittedProfile shows only the first saved match.

▶️ Collect posts from your chosen Threads accounts

1. Add accounts to Threads profiles using handles, @handles, full profile links, or numeric account IDs.
2. Choose original posts, account replies, reposts, or a mix.
3. Set Maximum posts for a smaller run, or leave it empty to collect all available results until the source is exhausted.
4. Start the Actor and open the dataset output. Export the data as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Only public content is covered. If one profile cannot be read, the Actor logs a warning and continues with the others. Public access does not guarantee every historical post.

💳 Pricing

You pay for each public post that is read, checked, and saved from a submitted profile. This includes saved account replies and reposted posts when you select them. Later matches for the same post are ignored within the run.

The Post event covers the saved post, not setup work, failed reads, or profiles with no saved posts. See the Actor's Pricing tab for your current tier price. Use maxPosts to set a total post limit.

🔌 Integrations

Open the dataset output in Apify Console, download JSON, CSV, or Excel, or read rows through the Apify dataset API in your own workflow. Apify schedules let you run the same input again; keep past exports yourself if you need a history.

❓ FAQ

Are account replies the same as comments under an account's posts?

No. replies collects public replies written by the accounts you submit. It does not collect other users' full comment threads.

What happens when two submitted profiles lead to the same post?

The first eligible match is saved. Later matches are ignored, and the row is not rewritten to add them. submittedProfile keeps only the first saved match.

Does Maximum posts apply to each account?

No. maxPosts is one total limit across all submitted profiles. Leave it empty to collect all available results of the selected types until the source is exhausted.

Can I collect every post an account has ever published?

The Actor collects available public content. It cannot guarantee access to every historical post, even when you leave the post limit empty.

Why are some counts or profile details missing?

Optional fields depend on what Threads makes public. Missing data is unknown. A missing count does not mean zero, and a missing label does not mean false.

Can I search by keyword or submit a single post URL?

This Actor reads feeds from known accounts. Keyword search, account discovery, and standalone post-detail collection are outside its scope. See Related Actors for other Threads workflows.

Does the Actor keep media files or track deleted posts?

No. It returns available source media links rather than a permanent media archive. It does not retain history, compare runs, or detect deletions.

Do I need a Threads login?

No. The Actor collects public content without a Threads login. Private content is outside its scope.
