What problem does it solve?

Finding and profiling Threads accounts by keyword normally requires manual searching and visiting each profile one by one. This Skill automates keyword-based profile discovery on Threads and enriches each result with biography and follower count data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Keyword Profile Search: Extract up to 16 matching user profiles per query from Threads search results, including username, display name, verification status, and profile picture.
  • Profile Enrichment: Retrieve biography, follower count, following count, and external URL for any Threads username via the profile API.
  • Batch Composite Flow: Search once, then loop through usernames to build a complete enriched profile list.
  • Use Case: A marketing analyst wants to find influencers posting about a topic on Threads. They search a keyword, get matching accounts, and enrich each with follower counts to shortlist candidates.

Quick Start

Use the threads-profile-search skill to find Threads accounts matching the keyword "fitness coach" and get their bios and follower counts.

Frequently Asked Questions about threads-profile-search

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I search Threads profiles by keyword?▼

Navigate to the Threads search URL with the keyword and type=profiles parameter, then run the extract-profile-search.py script to parse user accounts from the SSR-embedded JSON. Results include username, display name, verification status, and profile picture.

How to get follower count and bio for a Threads user?▼

Run the get-profile-details.py script with the username to call the Threads web profile API. It returns biography, follower count, following count, verification status, and external URL for that account.

Does Threads profile search require login?▼

No login is required for basic profile search. Unauthenticated access returns up to approximately 16 profiles per keyword with no pagination available.

Why does the Threads profile API return a 429 error?▼

A 429 status means the profile API is rate-limited from too many requests. Wait 10-30 seconds before retrying, and add 1-2 second intervals between per-user calls in batch enrichment loops.

What are the limitations of unauthenticated Threads scraping?▼

Unauthenticated access limits results to about 16 profiles per keyword with no pagination. Basic search results lack biography and follower count, requiring a separate enrichment call per username.
