# Threads Data through toolfare

> Public Threads data — post details, user profiles, keyword post search and the posts an account has published — answered inside Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor. No Meta developer app or scraping setup of your own: each call is quoted before it runs and paid from one toolfare balance.

Page: https://toolfare.ai/threads-data

## Use it from your agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent with a shell:

> Set up https://toolfare.ai/skill.md, then use toolfare to search Threads for posts about the latest iPhone launch and summarise what people like and dislike

Apps without a terminal connect toolfare as an MCP server: https://toolfare.ai/docs#connect

## Use it from a script

```sh
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -fsSL 'https://toolfare.ai/toolfare/toolfare.mjs' -o ~/.local/bin/toolfare
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/toolfare
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export TOOLFARE_MCP_URL='https://api.toolfare.ai/mcp'
toolfare login
```

Sign in once per machine; the CLI renews the sign-in itself. On a CI runner or another server,
create an API key in the toolfare console and set it as `TOOLFARE_API_KEY` instead of signing in.
Paid calls on one sign-in or key run one at a time. `--max-cost` refuses a call quoted above
that many credits (1,000 credits = $3).

## Tools

### Everything public about one post

Tool: `threads_data_post`

Details of a post

Optional parameters: post_id, url

Cost: From $0.006

Ask:
- What does this Threads post say, and how much engagement did it get?
- Here’s a Threads link — summarise it.

### An account’s public profile

Tool: `threads_data_profile`

Public profile of a user

Required parameters: username

Cost: From $0.006

Ask:
- Pull the public Threads profile of @zuck.
- How big is this brand’s Threads account?

### Posts on any keyword

Tool: `threads_data_search`

Posts matching a keyword

Required parameters: keyword

Cost: From $0.006

Ask:
- What are people on Threads saying about our new feature?
- Find Threads posts that mention our competitor.

### What an account has been posting

Tool: `threads_data_user_posts`

Posts published by a user

Required parameters: user_id

Cost: From $0.006

Ask:
- What has this account posted on Threads recently?
- Summarise this creator’s latest Threads posts.
## Price

From $0.006 Quoted before each call; the final charge follows the returned usage. Pay per call from one balance.

Balances and top-ups are in US dollars. Quotes and `--max-cost` count credits: 1,000 credits = $3 ($0.003 each).

## Use it when

- You want public reaction on Threads to a launch, feature or news story.
- You want an account’s public profile and recent posts on Threads.
- You are comparing how a topic plays on Threads with how it plays on X.

## Look elsewhere when

- You want X (Twitter) rather than Threads.
- You want Instagram posts, reels or profiles.
- You want to post or reply, or you need private data. These tools only read public data.

## Limits

- Public data only — nothing that requires being signed in to Threads.
- An account’s posts are looked up by numeric user id, not by username; the profile lookup takes the username.
- Keyword search takes a keyword only — there are no sort or date filters.
- Each call is a snapshot at the moment it runs, with no history of past values.
- Pay as you go from your toolfare balance, in US dollars; there is no subscription. A call runs when your balance covers its quote.
