## 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 Scraper: Profiles, Posts, Replies & Engagement

**Public Threads data without logging in.** Give it usernames or post URLs and get clean rows:

- **Profiles:** username, full name, user ID, **verified** badge, **followers**, biography, bio links, profile picture
- **Posts:** full text, time, **likes, replies, reposts, quotes and shares**, images and videos, link previews, pinned flag
- **Context:** reply or not and to whom, quoted post, reposted post
- **Replies:** paste a post URL to get the post's replies with the same fields

No account, no cookies, no session to get banned.

### What you get

Profile rows (`type: "profile"`): `username`, `fullName`, `userId`, `verified`, `followers`, `biography`, `bioLinks`, `profilePic`, `profileUrl`, `postsReturned`

Post rows (`type: "post"` or `"reply"`): `postId`, `code`, `url`, `author`, `authorVerified`, `text`, `createdAt`, `likes`, `replies`, `reposts`, `quotes`, `shares`, `isReply`, `replyTo`, `quotedPost`, `repostedPost`, `media`, `link`, `pinned`

### Example input

Profiles and their latest posts:

```json
{
  "usernames": ["zuck", "mosseri", "nasa", "nytimes"]
}
```

Replies to specific posts:

```json
{
  "postUrls": ["https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DeZtp-TkQHh"],
  "includeProfile": false
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "type": "profile",
  "username": "zuck",
  "fullName": "Mark Zuckerberg",
  "userId": "63055343223",
  "verified": true,
  "followers": 5752817,
  "biography": "Mostly superintelligence and MMA takes",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck",
  "postsReturned": 10
}
```

```json
{
  "type": "post",
  "postId": "4006434261020307755",
  "code": "DeZtrvAEfEr",
  "url": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DeZtrvAEfEr",
  "author": "zuck",
  "authorVerified": true,
  "text": "It's been just over a year since we started Meta Superintelligence Labs...",
  "createdAt": "2026-10-12T16:57:09.000Z",
  "likes": 828,
  "replies": 88,
  "reposts": 34,
  "quotes": 9,
  "shares": 31,
  "media": [{ "type": "video", "url": "https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/...", "thumbnail": "https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/..." }]
}
```

### Uses

- **Influencer research:** follower counts and engagement on recent posts
- **Brand monitoring:** what brands and creators post on Threads and how it lands
- **Competitor tracking:** schedule it daily on competitor accounts
- **Sentiment and replies:** collect replies to a launch or announcement post
- **Pair it with** [Bluesky Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapemint/bluesky-scraper) and [Instagram Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapemint/instagram-scraper) for the same accounts elsewhere

### Notes

- Logged-out Threads shows a profile's **latest posts only** (usually 4-20). This actor does not log in, so it cannot page deeper into history; schedule it to build history over time.
- A post URL returns the replies Threads shows logged out (the first batch).

### Pricing

- **$0.002** per post or reply
- **$0.002** per profile row
- No start fee.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "usernames": [
        "zuck",
        "mosseri"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapemint/threads-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "usernames": [
        "zuck",
        "mosseri",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapemint/threads-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "usernames": [
    "zuck",
    "mosseri"
  ]
}' |
apify call scrapemint/threads-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapemint/threads-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
