Threads profile posts

Beta GET /v1/threads/profile/posts

GET /v1/threads/profile/posts

The most recent posts, newest first, about 15 per page. Threads shows logged-out visitors only the latest 20 to 30 posts of a profile, so paging runs out early.

  • Cost: 1 credit
  • Status: Beta. Built and tested against recorded responses; the shape may still gain fields.
  • Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
  • Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).

Parameters#

NameTypeRequiredDescription
handlestringyesUsername, with or without the leading @. Also accepted as username.

Every request also accepts:

  • cursor: the cursor from the previous page (Pagination).
  • trim: true for a smaller response without null fields and extra.
  • raw: true to also get the platform's original object as raw.
  • max_age_days: accept a cached result up to this many days old, for 0 credits (Caching).

Set your key in the environment first (see Authentication).

Response#

A list of Post objects in data.items, with data.cursor and data.has_more.

See Data models for every field. The envelope around data is described in Responses.

Errors#

Failures are free: credits_charged is 0. Branch on error.code, never on the message.

CodeHTTPRetryMeaning
invalid_params400noA parameter is missing, unknown or has the wrong type.
not_found404noThe platform says this profile, post or item does not exist.

Every request can also fail with the account and platform errors listed on the Errors page.

These paths answer the same request, so code written for other APIs keeps working: /v1/threads/user/posts. See Switching from ScrapeCreators.
