Threads Scraper - Threads Posts, Search & Hashtags

Threads Scraper: Meta Threads Posts, Search and Hashtags

This Threads scraper collects Threads posts from Meta Threads (threads.com, formerly threads.net) without login. Get every public post of a profile, search any keyword or #hashtag (top or recent), or open posts by link.

Each post is one row with text, date, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, images and videos. Try ai agents as a search term, and export to JSON, CSV or Excel. Schedule it to get only new posts for brand and trend monitoring.

At a glance

Your Apify plan	Price per 1,000 posts
Free	US$ 2.50
Bronze	US$ 2.38
Silver	US$ 2.25
Gold and above	US$ 2.13

• No monthly fee, no start fee. Error rows and duplicates are free, and there is no Apify compute bill on top.
• Profiles: all public posts, newest first, paged (not only the first 10 or 20). Replies to other people are left out by default and can be turned on.
• Search: keywords and #hashtags, top or recent, and every row keeps the keyword that found it.
• Post links: any threads.com/@user/post/CODE (threads.net links work too).
• Engagement as numbers: likes, replies, reposts and quotes on every post.
• 30 fields per row, listed in the field reference.
• onlyNew for schedules: a daily run delivers, and charges, only the posts published since the last run.

What you can do with it

• Brand and competitor monitoring: every post of the accounts you follow, on a schedule, with engagement.
• Trend and topic research: the newest posts for a keyword or hashtag with searchSort: recent.
• Influencer analysis: posting frequency, media mix and engagement per post for any public profile.
• Content research: which formats (text, image, video, carousel) get the most replies and reposts.
• Datasets for AI and social listening: clean text with hashtags, mentions and links, ready for sentiment analysis or an LLM prompt.

Input

Two profiles, one hashtag sorted by recent, up to 200 posts each:

{ "usernames": ["nasa", "meta"], "searchQueries": ["#worldcup"], "searchSort": "recent", "maxItems": 200 }

Two specific posts by link:

{ "postUrls": ["https://www.threads.com/@nasa/post/DeaX_rOGaz-", "https://www.threads.net/@nasa/post/DekCdIIEZCG"] }

A profile's own posts plus its replies under other people's posts:

{ "usernames": ["nasa"], "excludeReplies": false, "maxItems": 100 }

Field	What it does
usernames	Usernames or profile links (nasa, @natgeo, https://www.threads.com/@meta). Also profiles, profileUrls
searchQueries	Keywords or #hashtags. Also keywords, queries
searchSort	top (default) or recent
exactMatch	Keep only posts that contain every word of the keyword (default on). Off returns everything Threads shows
postUrls	Post links. Also urls, startUrls
maxItems	Max posts per profile or keyword (default 50). Also maxPostsPerSource
excludeReplies	Keep only the profile's own posts (default on)
onlyNew	Only posts not delivered in earlier runs (default off), for schedules
proxyConfiguration	Apify datacenter proxy by default, which Threads accepts

An empty input runs an example profile, so you can see the output first.

Schedule it daily: only new posts

Turn on onlyNew, save the input as a Task and attach a Schedule. The Actor remembers which posts of each profile and keyword it already delivered, in a Key-Value Store named threads-scraper-only-new in your own Apify account, so every run delivers, and charges, only the posts published since the last one. Profiles stop paging at the first post you already have, so a quiet day is one request and costs nothing for results; the run ends green with the status "No new posts since the last run". Delete the store to start over.

{ "usernames": ["nasa"], "searchQueries": ["#worldcup"], "searchSort": "recent", "maxItems": 50, "onlyNew": true }

Integrations, scheduling and AI agents

• Schedule the input as a Task in Apify schedules, with onlyNew on, and each run bills only new posts.
• Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read the dataset from the Apify API.
• Connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook through Apify integrations, so new posts land where your team reads them.
• AI agents: the Actor works as a tool through the Apify MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients, for example "get the last 50 posts of these three brands on Threads and compare their engagement".
• API call: scrapewise/threads-scraper with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients.

FAQ

How many posts can I get from a profile? All public posts, newest first, up to maxItems per profile. Raise maxItems for a full history.

How many posts does a keyword search return? What Threads shows logged-out visitors, about 25 to 35 posts per keyword. Use several keywords, or schedule a recent search often with onlyNew and the dataset grows every run.

How much does it cost? 500 posts of a profile cost US$ 1.25 on the Free plan and US$ 1.06 on Gold. Error rows and duplicates are free.
