Use cases

FAQ

Do I need a Threads login?

No. Search runs without login or a browser; you just need an Apify account.

Which search pages are included?

Top, recent and tag result pages, merged and deduplicated. You can pick only the ones you need.

Can I find accounts instead of posts?

Yes. Accounts mode returns accounts that match each keyword, optionally with full profiles.

Is it legal to scrape Threads?

The scraper collects only publicly visible Threads data. Whether your use is legal depends on your jurisdiction and purpose: respect local law and the site's terms, and avoid collecting or storing personal data you don't need.

How do I get the data into my app?

Call it through the Apify API, use the Python or JavaScript client, or connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier or Google Sheets. Results export as JSON, CSV or Excel.
