About Meta threads scraper

Need to pull data from Threads, Meta's new Twitter alternative? This actor scrapes posts and conversations from threads.net so you can analyze trends, monitor discussions, or gather public content for your projects. It works by extracting data from public Threads profiles and feeds. You can scrape posts, including the text, timestamps, like counts, reply counts, and the user who posted it. Just give it a Threads profile URL or a list of URLs, and it handles the rest, returning clean JSON or structured data for you to work with. I use it for social listening to see what people are saying about specific topics or brands on the platform. It's also handy for researchers tracking conversation trends or developers needing real, public social data to train models or build datasets. Since Threads is growing quickly, getting this data early can be pretty valuable. The setup is straightforward. Configure your target profiles or search terms, set your output preferences, and run it. It manages the requests and parsing, so you can focus on working with the data instead of fighting with the scraping logic.
