### FAQ #### Can I scrape both Instagram and Threads profiles? Yes. You can scrape both Threads users and Instagram profiles since they share the usernames. By using scraping techniques, you can extract data from Meta platforms simultaneously and get insights into user profiles and their activities on both Meta platforms. You may want to check out our [Instagram scrapers](https://apify.com/store?search=instagram) as well. #### Is it legal to scrape data from Threads? Our [Threads scrapers](https://apify.com/store?search=threads) are ethical and **do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location**. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your **results could contain personal data.** You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) and [ethical scraping](https://blog.apify.com/what-is-ethical-web-scraping-and-how-do-you-do-it/). #### Do I need proxies to scrape Meta Threads Profiles? If you run the scraper on the Apify platform, for successful Instagram scraping you will needย [residential proxies](https://apify.com/proxy?pricing=residential-ip#pricing)ย which are included in Apify's **monthly Starter plan ($49)**. For more details about how our pricing works, platform credits, proxies, and usage, see theย [platform pricing page](https://apify.com/pricing/actors). #### Can I integrate this Threads scraper with other apps? Yes. Meta Threads Profile Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations). You can **integrate with LangChain, Make, Trello, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Asana,** and more. You can also use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g., get a notification whenever Meta Threads Profile Scraper successfully finishes a run. #### Can I use Meta Threads Profile Scraper with the API? Yes, with the Apify API. This API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor Actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more. To access the API using Node.js, use the `apify-client` NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the `apify-client` PyPi package. Check out the [Apify API reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) docs for full details or click on the [API tab](https://apify.com/apify/threads-profile-api-scraper/api) for code examples. #### Your feedback Weโ€™re always working on improving the performance of our Actors. So if youโ€™ve got any technical feedback for Meta Threads Profile Scraper or simply found a bug, please create an issue on the Actorโ€™s [Issues tab](https://console.apify.com/actors/kJdK90pa2hhYYrCK5/issues) in Apify Console. # Actor input Schema ## `usernames` (type: `array`): Provide one or several Threads.Net user names you want to scrape. ## Actor input object example ```json { "usernames": [ "guinnessworldrecords" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "usernames": [ "guinnessworldrecords" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("apify/threads-profile-api-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–? Go to โ†’ https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs ``` ## Python example ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient # Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token # Replace '' with your token. client = ApifyClient("") # Prepare the Actor input run_input = { "usernames": ["guinnessworldrecords"] } # Run the Actor and wait for it to finish run = client.actor("apify/threads-profile-api-scraper").call(run_input=run_input) # Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any) print("๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"]) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) # ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–? Go to โ†’ https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "usernames": [ "guinnessworldrecords" ] }' | apify call apify/threads-profile-api-scraper --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=apify/threads-profile-api-scraper", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer " ] } } } ``` ## OpenAPI specification ```json { "openapi": "3.0.1", "info": { "title": "Meta Threads Profile Scraper", "description": "Scrape Threads profile info.
