💰 Pricing

$0.015 per post saved, which is $15 per 1,000 posts, plus platform usage for compute and datacenter traffic. Empty searches are not charged a per-post fee.

Worked example: a 10-post search costs $0.15 in post fees, so about $0.16 in total with platform usage.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Threads? The actor reads public posts without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data and for following local law and platform terms.

Do I need a Threads account or a proxy? No account. A datacenter proxy is configured by default.

Why do I get fewer posts than I asked for? Signed-out Threads search returns one page, usually 10 to 30 posts. The actor saves up to your maximum from that page.

What does an empty result mean? The query matched nothing public. Try a broader keyword or remove the username and date filters.

Which timezone do the dates use? UTC. Date filters use midnight UTC.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes, through schedules in the console or the API.

⚠️ Limits

• Public posts only. Private accounts and logged-in feeds are out of scope.
• One page per search, typically 10 to 30 posts (Threads shows signed-out visitors one page of results).
• nextCursor stays empty when Threads reports no further page, which is the usual case for signed-out search.
• Usernames may contain letters, numbers, periods, and underscores.
• Media and profile image URLs are CDN links that can expire.
