Threads scraping API
Scrappa is built for teams searching for a Threads scraper API, Threads posts API, Threads profile API, or social listening endpoint. Use one API key to collect public profile metadata, follower counts, user posts, replies, individual post details, media URLs, captions, hashtags, account matches, and post search results in JSON.
Use the profile endpoint when you need follower counts, biographies, verification status, profile images, and profile tags.
Use the post endpoint when you have a permalink and want the post and its replies together in one response.
Use post search and the hashtag endpoint when you are monitoring a topic, a campaign, or a trend over time.
Test the Threads scraping API with 500 free monthly credits before scaling social listening or creator research workflows.
Start with a public handle to collect profile identity, biography, follower count, following count, verification status, profile image, profile tags, and transparency label. This endpoint is the best fit for creator discovery, CRM enrichment, and follower-count monitoring.
Open Threads Profile API docsSearch public Threads posts by keyword or hashtag to monitor a topic, a brand launch, or an event. Post search returns the richest post shape on this platform, including canonical URL, media type, detected language, accessibility caption, music info, and place data.
Open Threads Post Search docsAccount search returns the identity fields the platform supplies for each match. When you need follower counts or biographies, follow up with the profile endpoint for the specific handles you care about rather than expecting them in the search result.

No. Every endpoint reads public Threads data through the public web surface. There is no Meta Business account, no app review, and no login step.
Not always. Account search returns the identity fields the upstream supplies for each match, which is not guaranteed to include follower counts. Call the profile endpoint for the specific handles you need counts for.
Responses cover the first page of results. Plan your requests around first-page results rather than paging cursors.
Treat media URLs as possibly expiring. They are served from regional hosts and can change, so download or cache media promptly if you need to keep it.
Yes. Every Scrappa account gets 500 free credits per month with no credit card required. Test all eight Threads endpoints before committing to paid usage.
Scrappa charges $0.20 per 1,000 requests with no daily caps. Failed requests are never billed. The free tier includes 500 credits per month to get started.
