## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Threads Posts Scraper

Extract posts from any public Threads profile. Get full text, media URLs, engagement counts, and author details. No login required.

### What you get

One row per post from the user's Threads timeline:

- `postId`, `code`, `url` - direct link to the post on threads.net
- `text` - full post caption
- `publishedAt` - ISO timestamp
- `likeCount`, `replyCount`, `repostCount`, `quoteCount`, `viewsCount` - full engagement
- `isQuotePost`, `hasMedia`, `mediaUrls`, `mediaType` (image, video, carousel, text)
- `authorUsername`, `authorDisplayName`, `authorVerified`, `authorProfilePic`
- `scrapedAt`

Plus a separate **profile** record (in the Key-value store) for the queried account:

- `username`, `userId`, `displayName`, `bio`, `verified`
- `followerCount`, `profilePicUrl`, `externalLink`, `isPrivate`

### Use cases

- **Content monitoring** - track a creator's or brand's Threads activity
- **Competitor analysis** - measure posting cadence and engagement
- **Lead generation** - pull profile data and external link from public creator accounts
- **LLM / RAG ingestion** - clean post text + author metadata for AI pipelines
- **Audience research** - see which posts drive the most likes, replies, and reposts

### How to use

1. Enter the **Username** (with or without `@`) - for example `zuck` or `@zuck`
2. Set **Max Items** - default 50, or 0 for unlimited
3. Run the actor - posts appear in the **Dataset** tab
4. Open the **Key-value store** tab to find the `PROFILE` record (profile metadata)
5. To check whether more pages exist, look at `NEXT_PAGE_ID` in the Key-value store

> After the run finishes, open the **Key-value store** tab → copy the `NEXT_PAGE_ID` value → paste it into **Page ID** on your next run. If `NEXT_PAGE_ID` is `null`, you've fetched everything.

### Output format

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "username": "zuck"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/threads-posts-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "username": "zuck" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("seemuapps/threads-posts-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "username": "zuck"
}' |
apify call seemuapps/threads-posts-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,seemuapps/threads-posts-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
