🧵 Threads Replies Scraper

🚀 Export every public reply to a Threads post in seconds. Paste post links, get one row per reply with 43 fields: text, date, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, author id, username, verified badge, media, and the full conversation tree with depth and parent links. 700 replies in about a minute, no login.

Threads Replies Scraper reads the public conversation under any Threads post, the same replies a logged-out visitor can open on threads.com. It pages through the whole list instead of stopping at the first screen, follows replies to replies as deep as you ask, and tells you for every row where it sits in the conversation.

Each row carries 43 fields. In our tests one post returned 355 top-level replies plus their sub-threads, and a two-post run delivered 700 replies in 61 seconds. There is no cap on the number of post links per run and no cap on replies per post other than the ones you set.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Social media managers, brand and community teams, PR agencies, market researchers, journalists, data scientists	Comment analysis, sentiment and topic research, brand monitoring, audience research, crisis tracking, conversation datasets

📋 What the Threads Replies Scraper does

• 💬 Every public reply, not a first screen. Pages through the whole reply list, 50 replies per request.
• 🌳 Nested replies with the full tree. Optional: replies to replies up to 10 levels deep, each row with depth, parentPostId, parentPostUrl and replyToUsername.
• 👤 Author details on every row. Username, numeric account id (a stable join key), display name, verified badge, avatar and profile link.
• 📈 Engagement. Likes, replies, reposts and quotes on each reply, plus shares when Threads publishes them.
• 👑 Post author signals. Whether the post author wrote the reply, liked it or pinned it.
• 🖼 Media. Media type (text, image, video, carousel, GIF), every image and video URL, mentions, links, topic tag and detected language.
• ↕️ Top or most recent. Threads' own ranking, or newest first with a date cutoff for daily monitoring.
• 🧹 No duplicates, no surprises. A reply is delivered once per run, and a post that cannot be read gets a clear error row that is never charged.

💡 Why it matters: the replies are where the audience actually reacts. Likes tell you how many people cared; the replies tell you what they think, who they are and which answer the conversation rallied behind.

✨ Why choose this Actor

• 🧾 The whole conversation. No 20-link or 300-reply ceiling: page through everything Threads shows, or cap it per post with Max replies per post.
• 🌳 A real tree. Depth, parent id, parent URL and the post you asked for on every row, so you can rebuild each sub-thread.
• 🆔 Account ids included. The numeric author id is on every row, so replies join cleanly with profile data and survive username changes.
• 🔗 Chains with our other Threads Actor. The postUrl column of Threads Search Scraper is valid input here, and the username of any replier can go into its Threads usernames input to read that account's latest posts.
• 🛑 Fails loudly. A run where nothing could be read ends as FAILED with the reason, never as a green run with an empty table. Error rows are never charged.
• ⚡ Light and fast. Plain HTTP, no browser, no login: about 700 replies a minute.

📈 How it compares to alternatives

	This Actor	Typical Threads reply tools
Replies per post	✅ Every public reply, optional per-post cap	Often capped (for example 300)
Post links per run	✅ No limit, paste or link a list	Often capped (for example 20)
Nested replies with depth and parent	✅ Up to 10 levels	Sometimes, without the tree
Numeric author id	✅	Often missing
Top or most recent order, date cutoff	✅	Rarely
Post author liked or pinned the reply	✅	Rarely
Replies hidden from logged-out visitors	❌ Threads does not show them without an account	❌
View counts on replies	❌ Threads does not publish them for replies	❌

Honest ceilings: Threads hides some replies from logged-out visitors (restricted accounts, removed or limited replies). On one post that shows 455 replies, 355 top-level replies were public, and the log says when a post has hidden replies. Nested replies are collected as Threads exposes them: in our tests 52 of 54 announced sub-replies were returned.

🚀 How to use

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 of credit: sign up here.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔑 Do I need a Threads or Instagram account?

No. The Actor reads only publicly available replies, the ones a logged-out visitor can open, and needs no login or cookie.

🔗 Which links work?

Post links on threads.com or threads.net, in the forms https://www.threads.com/@user/post/CODE and https://www.threads.com/t/CODE, with or without extra parameters. A reply's own link works too and returns the replies to that reply.

📚 How many replies can one post return?

Every reply Threads shows logged-out visitors. There is no built-in ceiling: set Max replies per post if you want one.

🙈 Why do I get fewer replies than the post shows?

Threads counts replies it does not show logged-out visitors (restricted accounts, removed or limited replies). The log says when a post has hidden replies. In our tests about 78% of the announced top-level replies were public on a busy post.

🌳 How do nested replies work?

Switch on Include nested replies. The Actor collects the direct replies first, then the replies under each of them, level by level up to Max reply depth. Every row has depth, parentPostId, parentPostUrl and rootPostUrl.

↕️ What is the difference between Top and Most recent?

Top follows Threads' own ranking, the order a visitor sees. Most recent returns the newest replies first and, with Only replies posted after, stops as soon as it reaches older replies.

👑 Are the post author's own follow-ups included?

Yes. When the author continues the thread or answers in the replies, those rows read isByPostAuthor: Yes so you can keep or drop them.

🔄 Can I use the output of Threads Search Scraper?

Yes. Its postUrl column is valid input: paste the links here. In the other direction, Threads Search Scraper only takes usernames (without the @), so send it the username column from this Actor to read those accounts' latest posts.

🧹 Are error rows or duplicates charged?

No. A reply is delivered once per run even if it appears under two of your posts, and error rows are never charged.

🛑 What happens if a post is deleted or private?

That link gets an error row explaining why and the other links keep going. If no link could be read at all, the run ends as FAILED with the reason.

🛡 Do I need a proxy?

No. Threads answers Apify's servers directly. You can switch the Apify proxy on for very large runs.

🆓 What does a free account get?

Free accounts get a 10-reply preview per run. Paid accounts can collect up to 1,000,000 replies per run.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Use the Apify API, the JavaScript and Python clients, webhooks or the Make, Zapier and n8n integrations to send reply data wherever you work.

➡️ Next step
