# Find top Threads posts about a product category

**Use case:** 

Searches Threads for a product category or topic and returns the top-performing matching posts, with likes, replies and author, so a research or content team can see what people are actually saying about a category before building a campaign around it.

## Input

{
  "searchQuery": "electric bike",
  "maxPosts": 30,
  "resultType": "top",
  "includeTagWindow": true,
  "monitorMode": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "username": {
    "label": "Author",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "text": {
    "label": "Content",
    "format": "string"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Threads Search Scraper: Keyword Monitor](https://apify.com/themineworks/threads-search-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/themineworks/threads-search-scraper.md

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`).
