Search and extract public Threads posts (by post URL) and export thread-level results (root post + nested comments) to your Apify Dataset and SUMMARY.json in Key-Value Store.

What this actor does

• Accepts one or more Threads post URLs and fetches the HTML page.

• Parses nodes into a root post and nested comments (top-level comment + replies).

• Emits one dataset item per parsed post page (post_with_comments_nested) containing:

  • root_post (normalized or raw depending on raw)
  • comments (array of { comment, replies: [] })

• Saves a run summary to SUMMARY.json.

Works only on public content (no login). Use a post URL like https://www.threads.net/@username/post/CODE.

Input

Example (single URL, normalized)

{
"url":"https://www.threads.net/@quachthihang/post/DR3ioaSEjx8",
}

Example (multiple URLs, raw)

{
"urls":[
"https://www.threads.net/@user/post/ABC",
"https://www.threads.net/@user/post/DEF"
],
}

Input fields

• At least one of url or urls must be provided.

Output

• Dataset items: one item per processed post page with type: "post_with_comments_nested".
• Key-Value Store: SUMMARY.json.

Normalized item (example)

{
"type":"post_with_comments_nested",
"url":"https://www.threads.net/@quachthihang/post/DR3ioaSEjx8",
"ok":true,
"root_post":{
"id":"3780642722781740156_67808873631",
"pk":"3780642722781740156",
"user":{
"id":"67808873631",
"username":"quachthihang",
"full_name":"Thanh Hằng",
"profile_pic_url":"https://...jpg",
"is_verified":false
},
"text":"chưa gì mà đã cuống hết cả lên thế này rồi",
"images":[

],
"taken_at":1764907754,
"like_count":9156,
"code":"DR3ioaSEjx8"
},
"comments":[
{
"comment":{"id":"...","text":"link...","reply_to_post":"378064272..."},
"replies":[
{"id":"...","text":"reply to comment","reply_to_comment":"..."}
]
}
],
"total_nodes_found":10,
"total_top_comments":3,
"collectedAt":"2025-12-06T..."
}

Raw item (example)

When raw: true, root_post and comment objects include the original raw JSON from Threads (the rest of normalized fields are still present).

SUMMARY.json

Example (normalized):

{
"input":{
"urls":["https://www.threads.net/@user/post/ABC"],
"raw":false
},
"processed":[
{"url":"https://www.threads.net/@user/post/ABC","ok":true,"top_comments":4}
],
"collectedAt":"2025-12-06T..."
}

Example (raw):

{
"input":{"urls":["..."],"raw":true},
"processed":[
{"url":"...","ok":true,"top_comments":4}
],
"collectedAt":"2025-12-06T..."
}

Quick start (no code)

1. Open this actor in the Apify console.

2. Click Run.

3. Paste your input.json (see examples above).

4. Start the run.

5. Check results:

   • Dataset → items (post_with_comments_nested)
   • Key-Value Store → SUMMARY.json

CLI / API examples

Run with apify CLI

$apify run --input-file=input.json

Start a run via Apify API (curl)

curl-X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trantus~threads-post-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN"\
-H"Content-Type: application/json"\
-d'{"urls":["https://www.threads.net/@user/post/ABC"], "raw": false}'

Fetch dataset (last run)

$curl"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACCOUNT~threads-post-scraper/runs/last/dataset/items?token=YOUR_TOKEN"

Notes & tips

• Provide full post URLs (https://www.threads.net/@user/post/CODE) — the actor extracts JSON embedded in the page.
• If you get network errors (DNS / ENOTFOUND), try running with the url content copied into relayJson offline (not supported in this actor build) or resolve DNS connectivity.
• Increase timeoutMs for slow connections or heavy pages.
