What it does

Mode	Input	Output
Profile posts	usernames or profile URLs	The profile's posts newest first, paginated (tested to 300+ posts per profile), optional profile row
Keyword search	keywords or #hashtags	Posts Threads shows for the keyword, plus topic-tag results, with search rank
Post replies	post URLs	The post, then its replies (direct replies and visible sub-replies, with replyDepth)
Profile details	usernames or profile URLs	Followers, full name, bio, bio links, verified, private flag, HD picture, topic tags

Every post and reply row has: id, code, url, text, createdAt (UTC), timestamp, author username / name / ID / verified / picture, likeCount, replyCount, repostCount, quoteCount, reshareCount, mediaType (text, image, video, carousel), imageUrls, videoUrls, imageAltText, links, mentions, linkPreviewUrl, topicTag, isReply, replyToUsername, quotedPost, repostedPost, isPinned, isPaidPartnership.

Three dataset views are built in: Posts and replies, Profiles, and Inputs that returned nothing (with the reason).

Monitor mode: only new posts

Turn on Only new posts and schedule the Actor (hourly or daily). It remembers which posts it already delivered, per profile, keyword or post, in a named key-value store, and returns only new ones. You pay only for new rows. Tested on October 13, 2026: the first run for the keyword web scraping returned 27 posts, the second run 0.

Use it to watch competitors' accounts, brand mentions, a hashtag, or new replies under a post. Use a different Monitor memory name for each separate monitor.

Filters

• Only posts newer than: 2026-10-01, an ISO timestamp, or 7 days / 24 hours. In Profile posts mode pagination stops as soon as posts get older, so date-limited runs are fast and cheap.
• Minimum likes: skip low-engagement posts.
• Max posts per profile / results per keyword / replies per post.

Pricing

Pay per result. Platform usage and proxies are included.

Event	Price
Post or reply	$1.00 per 1,000 ($0.001 each)
Profile	$1.50 per 1,000 ($0.0015 each)
Actor start	$0.00005 per run

Rows explaining why an input returned nothing (deleted post, unknown username, private profile) are free. Set a maximum charge per run in the run options and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Accuracy and limits

• Only public data. The Actor reads what a logged-out visitor can see on threads.com. Private profiles return a profile row and a note, no posts.
• Search depth. Logged-out Threads search shows roughly 20 to 60 posts per keyword (top results plus topic-tag results), ranked by Threads, not strictly by date, and in every language. For ongoing coverage of a keyword, schedule it with Only new posts; each run adds whatever is new. Use Only posts newer than to drop older top results.
• Replies. Threads decides which replies a logged-out visitor sees; very long threads can return fewer replies than the replyCount shown on the post.
• Counts are live values at scrape time. View counts are not shown to logged-out visitors, so they are not included.
• Media URLs are Meta CDN links that expire after a few days; download them promptly if you need the files.

Reliability

No login, no browser, no residential proxy: the Actor makes the same requests a logged-out visitor's browser makes. Threads query IDs are read from the live page on every run, so routine Threads deployments do not break it. Failed requests are retried with a fresh session and, if Threads keeps refusing, the Actor switches to Apify datacenter proxy automatically. Unknown usernames and deleted posts produce a clear free error row instead of a failed run.

FAQ

Do I need a Threads or Instagram account? No.

Do I need a proxy? No. Leave the proxy setting off; the Actor falls back to Apify datacenter proxy by itself if needed.

Can I paste threads.net links? Yes, threads.net and threads.com URLs both work, as do @username and plain usernames.

How many posts can I get from one profile? As many as the profile has public posts; the Actor pages through the feed 15 posts at a time. Set Max posts per profile.

Can I use it from n8n, Make, Zapier or my own code? Yes, through the Apify API or the Apify integrations. Each run's dataset is available as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the API URL in the run's Output tab.

Is scraping Threads legal? The Actor collects only publicly visible posts and profiles, without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data, including privacy law (for example GDPR) when posts belong to private individuals.
