Threads Scraper & Analyzer: profiles, posts, replies and what the replies say (no login)

Get public Threads profiles, posts and replies without an account: the profile's followers, bio and links, each post's text, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, shares, date and media, and the replies under each post with their likes.

Turn on the insights report and each post also gets what its replies say: sentiment, themes, questions, complaints, requests and praise, counted from every reply, with examples. For brands, creators, agencies and social listening.

Output

Each result is one row in the run's dataset (download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the API). An example row (values shortened):

{
  "kind": "post",
  "author": "example.user",
  "url": "https://www.threads.com/@example.user/post/…",
  "text": "Big day for the team with the introduction of …",
  "likes": 1072,
  "replies": 1027,
  "reposts": 74,
  "quotes": 30,
  "shares": 29,
  "date": "2026-10-12T17:09:03Z"
}

From a run on 17 October 2026 (a tech executive's profile, names removed): 6 own posts, 98 replies and 7 reports; under a product launch post the replies were 41.7% positive and 41.7% negative, with 4 complaints and 4 praise; under another, replies reported visual bugs. A record named SUMMARY in the run's key-value store says what each input returned and what was charged.

Pricing

• $0.002 per post and $0.001 per reply
• $0.03 per insights report (one per post with replies, only when asked for; failed reports are free)
• Profile rows are free; missing profiles cost nothing
• The AI model that writes the report (Google's Gemini Flash) is billed by Apify at its exact cost: about $0.01 a report on 50 to 150 replies (measured 17 October 2026); Apify charges free-plan accounts 10 times that

What typical jobs cost at the list price:

Job	Cost
A profile's latest posts	about $0.02
One post with 14 replies and the report	$0.046
20 profiles' latest posts	$0.24 to $0.44
10 posts with replies and reports	about $0.46

On Apify's Scale and Business plans the per-event prices are lower (Store discounts). Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached: you never pay more than that.

Tips

• Give post links of launches and announcements, with replies and insights on.
• Schedule a profile weekly to follow its new posts.

Use it through the API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("zaiq/threads-scraper").call(run_input={"profiles": ["username"], "repliesPerPost": 14})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('zaiq/threads-scraper').call({"profiles": ["username"], "repliesPerPost": 14});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

HTTP (one call, results back)

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~threads-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"profiles": ["username"], "repliesPerPost": 14}'

Integrations and schedules

• Schedules: run it every hour, day or week from the Apify Console (Schedules) and keep a history of results.
• Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable: connect it through Apify's integrations, or send each finished run to a webhook.
• Datasets: results stay in the run's dataset; export them or read them by API whenever you need them.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client. The agent can find this Actor and run it for you: ask it for "what do people reply under this brand's latest Threads posts". AI agents can also pay for runs directly through Apify's agentic payments.

Limits

• Threads shows a signed-out visitor about a profile's latest 11 posts (fewer when some are reposts) and the first ~14 replies of a post: more need a login, which this Actor does not use.
• Keyword search needs a login and is not offered.
• The report's counts come from the AI's label for each reply: close, not perfect.
