# How to search and export Threads posts

Threads search works in the app but has no export. Here is how to get posts on any topic in a spreadsheet.

**Short answer**

Run the **Threads Search Scraper** with keywords or hashtags. It returns posts with text, likes, replies, reposts, author and date. No Threads or Instagram login.

## A real use case

A brand monitors what people say about it on Threads. A daily run searches the brand name and two product names, recent posts only, and sends new posts to Slack.

## Step by step

1. **Add keywords or hashtags**.
2. **Pick Top or Recent**.
3. **Turn on “Only posts that contain the keyword”** for mention tracking.
4. **Run**, or schedule it daily.

### Input (paste into the JSON tab)

```
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "yourbrand",
    "#yourbrand"
  ],
  "searchMode": "recent",
  "maxPostsPerQuery": 100,
  "requireKeywordInText": true,
  "includeAuthorDetails": true
}
```

### What you get back

```
{
  "text": "Tried yourbrand's new blender, honestly impressed",
  "authorUsername": "kitchen.kate",
  "authorFollowers": 8400,
  "likes": 214,
  "replies": 18,
  "reposts": 6,
  "createdAt": "2026-10-23T09:12:00Z"
}
```

Trimmed example. Names and numbers are illustrative; your run returns real data with more fields.

## Tips

- Author details add follower count so you can spot influential mentions.
- Use `postedAfter` on scheduled runs to fetch only new posts.

## What it costs

$3 per 1,000 posts. 200 posts a day cost about **$0.60**.

Plus a small per-run start fee. Apify's free plan includes monthly credit, enough to test. Check the listing for current pricing.

## FAQ

**Do I need an Instagram account?**

No. No login at all.
