About this data
Collect public Threads profiles and their latest posts. Paste usernames or profile links to get name, bio, links, exact followers, verified badge and photo, plus each recent post's text, time, likes, replies, reposts and media. Failures are not charged.
From the actor’s Apify Store listing. The per-call endpoint may return a bounded subset; its own description is below.
Buy per call over x402
One endpoint at api.ssh.autos. Each call is one JSON POST, paid in USDC with no account or API key, and answered in the same HTTP response.

Fetch one public Threads profile and optionally up to two posts from its initial page.
Returns the displayed name, bio, follower count, verification and profile picture; posts include public text/media, publication time and engagement counts when supplied.

This data source is a public actor on the Apify Store: Threads Profile & Posts Scraper. Run it with your Apify account and plan for larger, scheduled or exported runs; it may offer more input options than the per-call endpoint.
How x402 payment works
- Your client sends the request. The API answers
402 Payment Requiredwith the price and where to pay. - The client pays from its own wallet: USDC on Base or Solana over x402, or over MPP on Tempo. No account, sign-up or API key.
- The client retries with the payment attached and gets the JSON answer in the same call. You are only charged for answers.
The AgentCash CLI in the example does all three steps for you and pays from your AgentCash wallet. Any x402 or MPP client works the same way.
