#### How does Threads Email Scraper work?

Threads Email Scraper automates the process of collecting contact information from Social Media profiles based on specified parameters.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

List of keywords to search for on Threads (e.g., \['marketing', 'founder', 'business']). The actor will search Google for Threads profiles/posts containing these keywords and extract email addresses.

## `platform` (type: `string`):

Select platform.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional: Add location to search query (e.g., 'London', 'New York'). Leave empty to search globally.

## `emailDomains` (type: `array`):

Optional: Filter results to only include emails from specific domains (e.g., \['@gmail.com', '@outlook.com']). Leave empty to collect all email domains.

## `maxEmails` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of emails to collect per keyword (default: 20).

## `engine` (type: `string`):

Choose scraping engine. 🚀 Cost Effective (New): Uses residential proxies with async requests for faster, cheaper scraping. 🔧 Legacy: Uses GOOGLE\_SERP proxy with traditional selectors - more reliable but slower and more expensive.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Choose which proxies to use. By default, no proxy is used. If Google rejects or blocks the request, the actor will automatically fallback to datacenter proxy, then residential proxy with 3 retries.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "marketing"
  ],
  "platform": "Threads",
  "location": "",
  "emailDomains": [
    "@gmail.com"
  ],
  "maxEmails": 20,
  "engine": "legacy",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
