What you get

Works out of the box — proxies included, no configuration required.

Use cases

• Lead-gen / SDR — pull contact info (emails, socials, websites) from creator bios for cold outreach

• Music / A&R / brand marketers — track artist or influencer follower growth daily, spot momentum early
• Agencies — scout competitor accounts, monitor posting cadence, track engagement benchmarks
• Content strategists — find top-performing posts in a niche by likes/replies, reverse-engineer hooks
• Analysts / journalists — exact public engagement numbers with provenance, ready for dashboards
• Brand monitoring — keyword-trigger filter for mentions of your brand across Threads creators

Quick start

Paste a Threads URL and run — that's the minimum input:

{
"urls":["https://www.threads.net/@zuck"]
}

You get one profile record (Mark Zuckerberg: 5.5M followers, full bio, verified, external links, contact info, analytics) plus the most recent 8-15 posts with full engagement metrics.

Common inputs

Multiple profiles in one run:

{
"urls":[
"https://www.threads.net/@zuck",
"https://www.threads.net/@mosseri",
"https://www.threads.net/@garyvee"
],
"maxPostsPerProfile":10
}

Lead-gen sweep — verified profiles with 1M+ followers + contact info:

{
"urls":[
"https://www.threads.net/@garyvee",
"https://www.threads.net/@mosseri"
],
"verifiedOnly":true,
"minAuthorFollowers":1000000,
"includeContactInfo":true,
"includePosts":false
}

Find viral content in a niche (≥1000 likes, AI keywords):

{
"urls":["https://www.threads.net/@zuck"],
"minLikes":1000,
"keywordsInclude":["ai","superintelligence"],
"maxPostsPerProfile":50
}

Historical trend tracking — schedule daily:

{
"urls":["https://www.threads.net/@zuck"],
"enableHistory":true,
"historyDatasetName":"my-threads-tracking"
}

From the second scheduled run onwards every record carries a history.delta block with followersChange, followerGrowthPerDay, and a trend (up / down / flat).

Bare usernames (CSV-friendly):

{
"usernames":["zuck","mosseri","garyvee"]
}

FAQ

Does this work without configuration? Yes. Paste a Threads URL and run. Proxies are included.

How many posts do I get per profile? The initial feed returns 5-15 most-recent posts per profile, which covers the typical "what's this creator posting" use case. Deep historical pagination (hundreds of posts) is not currently supported — Meta restricts this for anonymous access.

Can I get followers / following lists? Not currently. These lists are behind a Meta login wall. They're on the roadmap for v2 with optional cookie support.

Do contact details come from every profile? Only when they're publicly listed in the bio or external links. The actor extracts what's there — it doesn't make guesses. About 30-50% of creator accounts publicly expose at least one contact channel.

What happens with profiles I can't access? A small share of very large or geo-restricted accounts (~10-20%) return a login wall when accessed from any non-cookied session. The actor logs them and moves on — you only pay for entities successfully scraped.

Will repeated runs over-charge me for the same profile? Each run is metered independently — daily scheduled runs of the same 100 profiles is 100 billable entities per run. The history store deduplicates time-series points so trend data stays clean.

Can I export to CSV / Excel? Yes. Apify automatically offers CSV, JSON, Excel, XML and HTML on every dataset.

Are the engagement filters applied before billing? Yes. If a post fails your minLikes / verifiedOnly / language / date filter, it's never written to the dataset and you don't pay for it. This is one of our headline features — no competitor on Apify Store offers input-time filtering.

How fresh is the data? Real-time per request — the actor reads Threads' public feed at run time.

What's the difference vs other Threads scrapers on Apify? Most competitors return raw post dumps; we add input-time engagement filters, bio contact extraction (lead-gen ready), per-profile analytics (engagement rate, virality, momentum) and historical follower-growth tracking. No other Threads scraper on Apify ships these.
