Threads Profile API
Scrape Threads Profile data with one API call. Returns public profile information for a Threads user including follower count, bio, profile picture URL, and verification status. The external website set in the bio is returned at `author.ext.bio_link` (null when the account has not set one).
Last updated August 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns a Threads account's public profile: bio, the external link set in that bio, follower count, profile picture URL, and verification status.
Use it when you have a handle and want the account itself; user/posts returns what that account has posted.
