Scrape a Threads profile’s posts. The user is identified by its URL or username.

Request

Exactly one of userUrl or username is required. A request that sets both, or none, fails with invalidRequest.

import { Stophy } from "stophy";

const stophy = new Stophy({ apiKey: process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY });
const result = await stophy.threads.profile.posts({ username: "nasa" });
console.log(result.data.results);

from stophy import Stophy

stophy = Stophy()  # reads STOPHY_API_KEY
result = stophy.threads.profile.posts(username="nasa")
print(result["data"]["results"])

curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/threads/profile/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"nasa"}'

stophy threads profile posts --username nasa

Response

If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. data.results[] contains a page of the profile’s posts, each with its text, likes, replies and reposts. The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut.
