SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually collecting Threads posts about a keyword or hashtag is slow and unstructured. This Skill automates searching Threads and returns structured post data with engagement metrics, without requiring a login.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Keyword & Hashtag Search: Search Threads posts by any keyword or hashtag with top (most relevant) or recent (newest first) sort ordering.
  • Structured Extraction: Parse SSR-embedded JSON from the search page to return post ID, URL, text, timestamp, like/reply/repost/quote counts, media type, and author details.
  • Use Case: A social media analyst wants to monitor brand mentions on Threads. They run searches for several related keywords, collect the top posts with engagement metrics, and track which accounts are driving the conversation.

Quick Start

Search Threads for posts about "AI" sorted by top results and return the matching posts with their engagement metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions about threads-keyword-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search Threads posts by keyword without an API?

Navigate to the Threads search URL with your keyword and serp_type parameter, then run the extraction script to parse the SSR-embedded JSON. It returns post text, timestamps, engagement counts, and author info without needing an official API.

How to scrape Threads hashtag search results?

Use the same search URL pattern with %23 before the hashtag term, for example %23AI for #AI. The extraction script accepts the hashtag with a # prefix for labeling and returns the same structured post data as a keyword search.

Does Threads search scraping require login?

No, public Threads search results can be extracted without authentication. However, unauthenticated access returns only about 17-18 results per query and pagination is not available.

Why does Threads search extraction return no results?

If searchResults is not found, the page may not have rendered the SSR data, so retry navigate and wait stable once. A count of zero means no posts matched the keyword, and very new posts may not yet appear in the search index.

Can I filter Threads search results by date?

Date filtering is not supported as a URL parameter on Threads search. Extract the results first, then filter client-side using the taken_at Unix timestamp included in each post object.
