Search Threads.net by keyword or scrape any public profile's posts — no account required. Extract post text, author details, like count, reply count, repost count, and timestamps in bulk.

Features

• Keyword search — find posts matching any topic across all of Threads
• Profile scraping — extract recent posts from any public Threads account
• No login required — uses Threads' publicly accessible server-rendered pages
• Engagement metrics — like count, reply count, repost count, and quote count
• Deduplication — the same post is never returned twice across queries
• Challenge detection — skips bot-protection pages and logs a warning
• Pay-per-result — only pay for posts you receive

Use with AI Agents (MCP)

Connect this actor to any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, or custom agents.

Apify MCP server URL:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=nanoscrape/threads-search-scraper

Example prompt once connected:

"Use threads-search-scraper to search Threads for 'sustainable fashion' and return the 20 most recent posts with author names and like counts."

Clients that support dynamic tool discovery (Claude.ai, VS Code) will receive the full input schema automatically via add-actor.

Notes

• Threads uses server-side rendering: the first page of results is available without executing JavaScript.
• Threads does not expose public paginated API endpoints without authentication, so each search or profile fetch returns one batch of SSR posts.
• If a profile requires login to view, the actor logs a warning and skips it.
• For monitoring social topics over time, run the actor on a schedule via Apify's scheduler.
