Threads Scraper: Profiles & Posts

Scrape public Threads profiles and posts without logging in. Add usernames or profile URLs and get follower counts, bios, verification, and each profile's recent posts with text, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, images, videos and link previews, in clean rows ready for analysis.

Why this scraper

• No login, no cookies, no browser. Fast HTTP requests only: 10 profiles and 80 posts in about 40 seconds in testing.
• Engagement metrics on every post: likes, replies, reposts, quotes and shares, plus the author's follower count and verification, so you can compute engagement rates right away.
• Full post content:
  • text, publish time, detected language
  • image, video and carousel media URLs
  • link previews, quoted and reposted posts
  • pinned posts, and follow-up posts in the author's own threads
• Bulk profiles. Process many accounts per run; missing or private accounts are skipped quickly without being charged.
• Three output modes. Posts (with author stats), profiles only (cheap audience checks), or both.
• Date filter. Keep only posts published after a given day.

Use cases

• Social media & brand monitoring: track what brands, creators and competitors post and how it performs.
• Influencer marketing: vet creators by followers, posting frequency and engagement.
• Market & trend research: collect posts from industry voices and media accounts.
• Content strategy & AI analysis: feed post text and engagement into dashboards or LLMs.

Pricing

Pay per record (a profile or a post), plus a negligible start fee per run. Choose Profiles only for the cheapest audience checks.

Monitoring mode

Turn on onlyNewPosts and the Actor remembers the posts it already returned for each profile. On the next run you get only new posts. Useful for following a set of accounts on a schedule without paying for their whole history each time.

Notes and limits

• Threads shows logged-out visitors roughly the latest 25 threads per profile, including the author's follow-up posts in those threads (often 30–50 posts). Older posts and reply sections under posts are not available without login.
• Only public profiles and posts are collected.
• If something breaks after a Threads change, open an issue and it will be fixed quickly. The scraper also re-detects Threads' internal query automatically when it changes.
