Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Threads Video Downloader 🎬 **Extract video and image links from public Threads posts**. Process multiple post URLs at once, collect media URLs and post details, and export structured results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. No login required. --- ### Quick Start (3 Easy Steps) 1. **Get Post Links**: Open a Threads post → Click Share → Copy link 2. **Paste Links**: Add them to the input box below (up to 20) 3. **Click Run**: Get your media links and post details --- ### What You Get #### Each Post Returns: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `post_url` | Full Threads post URL | | `post_id` | Unique post identifier | | `username` | Post author's account name | | `post_text` | Post text content | | `contains_media` | Whether post has any media | | `contains_videos` | Whether post has videos | | `contains_images` | Whether post has images | | `contains_video_thumbnails` | Whether post has video thumbnails | | `video_url` | First video download URL, easy to open from the table | | `video_thumbnail_url` | First video thumbnail URL | | `image_url` | First image download URL, easy to open from the table | | `video_urls` | Array of video download URLs | | `video_thumbnail_urls` | Array of video thumbnail URLs | | `image_urls` | Array of image download URLs | | `video_count` | Number of videos found | | `video_thumbnail_count` | Number of video thumbnails | | `image_count` | Number of images found | | `total_media_count` | Total media items | | `extracted_at` | When data was extracted (ISO 8601 UTC) | #### Media URLs - Media links can expire, so download the files you need promptly ### How to Use #### Input Format Provide an array of Threads post URLs: ```json { "post_urls": [ "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v", "https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DSVRshjkbtK" ] } ```` #### Post URL Format Supported format: `https://www.threads.com/@{username}/post/{POST_CODE}` Examples: - ✅ `https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v` - ✅ `https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/DSVRshjkbtK` - ✅ `https://threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v` - ❌ `threads.com/@user/post/ABC` (missing `https://`) - ❌ `https://www.threads.com/@user` (missing `/post/` part) ### Output #### Dataset Output Example ```json { "post_url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v", "post_id": "DQNCKbZjq-v", "username": "instagram", "post_text": "...", "contains_media": true, "contains_videos": true, "contains_images": false, "contains_video_thumbnails": true, "video_url": "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t72.../.../video.mp4?...", "video_thumbnail_url": "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.../.../cover.jpg?...", "image_url": null, "video_urls": [ "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t72.../.../video.mp4?..." ], "video_thumbnail_urls": [ "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.../.../cover.jpg?..." ], "image_urls": [], "video_count": 1, "video_thumbnail_count": 1, "image_count": 0, "total_media_count": 2, "extracted_at": "2026-06-15T03:08:33Z" } ``` ### Use Cases #### Media Backup Collect post URLs you want to backup → Run the tool → Export as JSON/CSV → Download media files. #### Content Monitoring Use Apify Scheduler to run periodically → Monitor new media from creators → Build a media archive. #### Research & Analysis Collect topic-related post URLs → Extract media and post info → Analyze content types and trends. ### Tips #### How to Get Post URLs 1. Open the post in Threads app or website 2. Click the share button 3. Copy the link 4. Paste into the input field #### How to Download Your Media **Easy method:** 1. Click on any video or image link in your results 2. Right-click on the media and select "Save as..." 3. Done! **For multiple files:** - Export results as CSV or JSON - Use your browser's download manager or any bulk download tool ### Limits - **20 posts per run** — need more? Run again with your next batch - **Public posts only** — private accounts cannot be accessed - **Links can expire** — download promptly for best results - **Text-only posts** — some posts may not contain downloadable media ### FAQ **Q: Why can't I find media in some posts?** A: Common reasons: the post only has text, has been deleted, or is from a private account. **Q: Why do media URLs expire?** A: Public media links can be temporary. Download the files you need soon after the run finishes. **Q: Can I download videos automatically?** A: This tool provides download URLs. Use your browser or a download manager to save files. **Q: How many posts can I process?** A: Up to 20 posts per run. For more, run multiple times. **Q: What about carousel posts?** A: Carousel posts are supported when the media is publicly available. Some posts may expose fewer downloadable items than appear in the app. ### Need Another Threads Workflow? - [Threads Scraper - Posts, Profiles & Search](https://apify.com/futurizerush/meta-threads-scraper?fpr=rush): collect public posts, search keywords, discover profiles, and export account data. - [Threads Replies Scraper](https://apify.com/futurizerush/threads-replies-scraper?fpr=rush): collect public replies and comments for conversation analysis. ### Disclaimer This tool is provided for personal, educational, and research purposes only.
