Threads Scraper

threads.com

Threads is served through a dedicated plugin endpoint rather than the generic page fetch. Give it a handle - a bare username, an @handle or a full profile URL - and it returns the public profile already parsed: the display name and bio, the follower and thread counts, the avatar, and the profile's recent posts each with its engagement counts. It renders the profile on our own anti-bot fleet and reads only public data, so there is no Meta account, login or cookies involved, and no GraphQL to reverse-engineer yourself.

What you can extract

• Display name, bio and canonical profile URL
• Follower count and total thread count, parsed to numbers
• Profile avatar image URL
• Recent posts with text, post age and a clean URL
• Per-post engagement: likes, comments, reposts and shares
• postsCollected count, bounded by your max_posts

Dedicated endpoints

How to scrape it

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key: $SU_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/social/threads-profile?username=zuck&max_posts=25"

import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/social/threads-profile",
    headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
    params={"username": "zuck", "max_posts": "25"},
)
print(resp.text)

import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';

const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });

const profile = await su.threadsProfile('zuck', {
  maxPosts: 25,
});
console.log(results);

Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
