Pricing

You pay per post returned, plus a small fee when the run starts. Platform usage is included, so there are no extra compute or proxy charges. Searches or profiles that return nothing cost nothing beyond the start fee.

Limits

Only public posts are returned. Private profiles return nothing.
Without a login, Threads shows a limited first page: about 20 posts per search and about 10 per profile. Use several search terms or profiles for bigger runs.
Search results are the "Top" results Threads picks, not a full chronological feed.
Engagement numbers are a snapshot from the moment of the run.
