Threads Scraper

Scrape profiles and threads from Threads (threads.com) in real-time via Apify. This actor handles data extraction without requiring additional configuration or imposing limits.

Overview

Threads is Meta's microblogging service linked to Instagram. This actor provides programmatic access to public Threads data, returning structured JSON. It's useful for data collection, research, and automation where direct API access is limited.

Key Features

• Profile Scraping: Extract user details (username, bio, follower count, verification status, profile images).
• Thread Scraping: Collect individual thread data, including content and author info.
• User Content Aggregation: Retrieve a user's threads, reposts, replies, and media posts.
• Simple Configuration: Uses URL or username inputs; no authentication required for public data.
• Structured Output: Returns consistent JSON format for easy parsing and integration.

How to Use
