Extract Threads Post Information from URLs

This Apify Actor extracts Threads post details from one or more Threads post URLs and stores successful results in the default dataset.

Features

• Accepts a list of Threads post URLs.
• Supports both threads.com and threads.net.
• Supports both @username/post/... and /t/... URL formats.
• Extracts post text, author details, engagement counts, hashtags, mentions, links, media, and timestamps.
• Supports Apify proxy configuration when available on your account.
• Pushes only successful items to the dataset, so the output schema stays consistent.

Input

Required

• urls: list of Threads post URLs to extract.

Optional

• retryTimes: maximum number of retries for transient request failures.
• requestTimeoutSecs: timeout for each request in seconds.
• delaySecs: delay between processing URLs. Set 0 to disable the delay.
• proxyConfiguration: optional Apify proxy settings.

Example Input

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.threads.com/@impatrickt/post/CvBIUAdrTOz",
    "https://www.threads.net/t/CvBIUAdrTOz"
  ],
  "retryTimes": 2,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 30,
  "delaySecs": 1
}

Output

Each successful dataset item contains:

• id
• text
• author
• author_name
• author_id
• created_at

• quote_count
• view_count
• is_reply

Notes

• Results are stored in the default Apify dataset.
• If proxy initialization is unavailable for your account, the actor continues without proxy instead of failing at startup.
• Local storage/ output from apify run stays on your machine and is not automatically uploaded to Apify Console.
• To charge per submitted URL, configure a pay-per-event event named input-url in Apify Console.
• If you want pricing to be based only on submitted URLs, disable the synthetic default dataset item event apify-default-dataset-item in Apify Console to avoid double charging.
