How it works

 A[Handles, keywords,<br/>or post URLs] --> B[Threads.com SPA]
 B --> C[Intercept GraphQL<br/>response payloads]
 C --> D[Normalize to flat<br/>post rows]
 D --> E[JSON dataset]

The actor opens each profile, search results page, or post permalink in a real Chromium with a generated fingerprint, then captures the GraphQL responses Threads' own front end consumes. Posts are deduped by code so multi page results from infinite scroll do not double count.

Who uses this

Quick start

Pull recent posts from a handle:

{
"usernames":["zuck"],
"maxItemsPerSource":25
}

Brand monitoring across keywords:

{
"searchTerms":["acme corp","@acme","acme launch"],
"minLikes":5,
"maxItemsPerSource":100
}

Mix handles and keywords in one run:

{
"usernames":["mosseri","zuck"],
"searchTerms":["instagram launch"],
"verifiedOnly":true
}

Hydrate specific post URLs:

{
"postUrls":[
"https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/CzHTBfJv2TK"
]
}

Sample output

{
"id":"3141592653589793238",

}

Input modes

You can mix all three in a single run. The dedupe flag prevents the same post showing up twice when a creator post also matches a keyword search.

Schedule it

Run hourly to catch every new mention of your brand. The dedupe key value store ensures the same post is not pushed twice across runs unless engagement counts changed.

Pricing

The first 50 posts per run are free. After that, $0.002 per post pushed. Search and profile fetches are not metered, so a low signal keyword search only costs for the matches it returns.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

Public Threads pages on threads.com, rendered through a real Chromium with fingerprint injection. The actor reads the same GraphQL payloads the Threads web UI consumes.

Do I need a Meta account or token?

No. Only public posts are returned and no login is performed.

How fresh is the data?

Real time. Each run hits the live Threads page so you see the same engagement counts the public web shows.

Can I get private or follower only posts?

No. Only publicly visible posts are scraped. Posts behind a private account or marked follower only are skipped.

How many posts can I pull per handle?

The actor scrolls the profile to trigger lazy loading. The default 3 scroll passes typically yields 25 to 40 recent posts. Increase scrollPasses for deeper history at the cost of run time.

Will it work for non English posts?

Yes. Text is captured as Unicode and the language field comes from Threads' own language detection.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Use the Apify scheduler. Hourly catches new brand mentions. Daily is enough for creator activity tracking.

What happens if Threads soft blocks the request?

The actor uses fingerprinted Chrome and rotates Apify proxy sessions. If a single source is blocked the run continues with the others and the failed request is logged.

Is this affiliated with Meta?

No. This is a third party Apify actor that consumes public Threads pages. Meta is not involved.
