## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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 Profile Scraper – followers, bio, links, latest posts · $2 per 1,000 profiles

Scrape **Threads profiles** without an account, cookies or login: **follower count, verified badge, full name, bio, bio links, profile tags and profile picture**, plus the profile's **latest public posts** with likes, replies, reposts, quotes and date.

### What you get

**Profile row**: `username`, `fullName`, `id`, `url`, `followerCount`, `isVerified`, `isPrivate`, `biography`, `bioLinks` (`url`, `title`), `profileTags`, `profilePicUrl`.

**Post rows**: `text`, `createdAt`, `likeCount`, `replyCount`, `repostCount`, `quoteCount`, `shareCount`, `mediaType`, `images`, `videos`, `links`, `mentions`, `hashtags`, `topicTag`, `url`, `author`.

### Real run — 3 November 2026

5 profiles (@nasa, @netflix, @nytimes, @espn, @mosseri), all four tabs → **5 profiles + 61 posts in 4 min 13 s**. Followers that day: NASA 12.8 M, Netflix 8.6 M, The New York Times 4.8 M, ESPN 4.6 M, Adam Mosseri 1.1 M.

```json
{
  "type": "profile",
  "username": "nasa",
  "fullName": "NASA",
  "followerCount": 12786630,
  "isVerified": true,
  "biography": "Making the seemingly impossible, possible. ✨",
  "profileTags": ["NASA", "Space Threads", "Science Threads"]
}
```

### Pricing

**$2 per 1,000 profiles** and **$1 per 1,000 posts**, cheaper on paid Apify plans. Profiles that do not exist are free. Compared on 3 November 2026: apify/threads-profile-api-scraper $5.00 per 1,000, sourabhbgp/threads-scraper $2.00 per 1,000 results.

### Input examples

Profiles only (followers, bio, links):

```json
{ "usernames": ["nasa", "@netflix", "https://www.threads.com/@espn"], "maxPostsPerProfile": 0 }
```

Profiles with their latest posts:

```json
{ "usernames": ["mosseri", "zuck"], "profileTabs": ["threads"], "maxPostsPerProfile": 25 }
```

Every tab (posts, replies, media, reposts):

```json
{ "usernames": ["nytimes"], "profileTabs": ["threads", "replies", "media", "reposts"] }
```

### Use cases

- **Influencer research**: follower counts, bios and links of creators.
- **Competitor monitoring**: daily snapshot of competitor accounts and their latest posts.
- **Lead lists**: bio links of brands and creators on Threads.
- **Social analytics**: follower growth over time with a scheduled run.

### Who this is not for

- You need keyword search → [Threads Scraper](https://apify.com/rt-solutions/threads-scraper).
- You need replies of posts → [Threads Replies Scraper](https://apify.com/rt-solutions/threads-replies-scraper).
- You need a profile's full post history or followers list (requires login).

### For AI agents (MCP)

Use `rt-solutions/threads-profile-scraper` through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). Example: *"Get the follower counts and bios of @nasa, @netflix and @espn on Threads."*

### FAQ

**How do I see a Threads follower count without logging in?** Paste the username and run with `maxPostsPerProfile: 0`.

**How much does it cost to scrape 1,000 Threads profiles?** $2 (posts extra at $1 per 1,000).

**What about private profiles?** You get the profile row and a warning; private posts are never collected.

**Do threads.net links work?** Yes.

### Limits

- Threads shows only the latest posts of a profile to visitors who are not logged in (10–25 across the four tabs, usually fewer with one tab); this Actor never logs in.
- No followers lists, view counts or private content.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
