Threads Posts Scraper

More Social Platforms

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Scrapes posts from public Threads profiles (no login required) to extract timeline content and profile metadata for indexing and analysis. The connector fetches one record per post containing post identifiers and permalink, full post text, ISO timestamps, engagement metrics (likes, replies, reposts, quote counts, view counts), media presence and media URLs with media types (image, video, carousel, text), and author metadata (username, display name, verification status, profile picture). It also returns a separate profile-level record with account metadata such as display name, bio, follower count, profile picture URL, external link, and privacy flag, plus a pagination token to retrieve additional pages.
