Threads Profile Posts Scraper

Collect public posts from one or more Threads profiles, including engagement metrics, media links, post type, timestamps, and view counts when available.

Results are saved continuously while the Actor runs, so you can begin reviewing or exporting data before every profile finishes.

What you get

For each post, the Actor can return:

• Post text, URL, ID, code, and publication time
• Post type: video, photo, carousel, text, reply, quote, or repost
• Likes, replies, reposts, quotes, and shares
• Public view or play count when Threads exposes it
• A combined engagement total
• Author name, username, and verification status
• Media URLs and audio availability
• A date-range flag for filtering results

Every dataset row is a post. Profile progress and completion summaries appear only in the run log.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor input form.
2. Enter one Threads profile per line.
3. Choose the earliest date to scrape.
4. Set the per-profile and total run limits.
5. Click Start.
6. Open the Output tab to watch records arrive.

Example profile input:

https://www.threads.com/@example_account
@example_second_account

Full profile URLs, @handles, and bare usernames are accepted.

Input

Field	Description	Default
Profiles	One Threads profile URL or username per line	One sample profile
Scrape till date	Earliest date to include, in YYYY-MM-DD format	2026-09-10
Max posts per profile	Maximum records collected from one profile	100
Max posts for the entire run	Maximum post records collected across all profiles	3000

Date behavior

The Actor starts with the newest posts and works backward. It stops after reaching posts older than Scrape till date.

Because Threads returns posts in pages, the last page can contain a small number of older records. Use in_date_range = true to select only posts published on or after the requested date.

Limits

Both limits apply:

• Max posts per profile prevents one profile from using the entire run allowance.
• Max posts for the entire run stops collection after the combined post count reaches the requested total. Remaining profiles are skipped.

Output

The default dataset contains only post records.

Important fields include:

Field	Meaning
username	Requested profile username
post_url	Public Threads post URL
taken_at_utc	Publication time in UTC
text	Post text or caption
post_type	Normalized post type
view_count	Public view or play count, when available
view_count_status	available or unavailable
like_count	Likes
reply_count	Direct replies
repost_count	Reposts
quote_count	Quote posts
share_count	Shares
engagement_total	Likes + replies + reposts + quotes + shares
media_urls	Media URLs, separated by `
in_date_range	Whether the post is on or after the requested date

View-count availability

Threads does not publish view counts for every post. When no public count is available:

• view_count is empty
• view_count_status is unavailable

This does not mean the post has zero views.

Export and integration

Use the Output tab to:

• Download JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS
• Filter and select dataset fields
• Access results through the Apify API
• Connect the dataset to automation tools and cloud storage

Results are streamed page by page instead of waiting for an entire profile to finish.

Responsible use

This Actor collects publicly visible Threads profile and post data. Use the results in accordance with applicable laws, privacy requirements, and the platform's terms. Avoid collecting or using personal data without a lawful purpose.

Notes

• Deleted, private, restricted, or unavailable content may not be returned.
• Counts can change between requests because engagement continues after collection.
• Media URLs may expire and should be downloaded promptly if long-term storage is required.
• Platform changes or temporary rate limits can affect availability.
