threads-profile-searchDiscovers Threads user accounts by keyword, extracting profile data including username, display name, verification status, biography, and follower count.
Threads Profile Search is an agent skill from browser-act/skills. Discovers Threads user accounts by keyword, extracting profile data including username, display name, verification status, biography, and follower count. Use when user asks to find Threads accounts, search Threads profiles, discover Threads users by keyword, look up Threads creators, find influencers on Threads, search for people on Threads, get Threads user details, collect Threads profile information, find accounts related to a topic on Threads, search Threads for accounts by name or keyword, or enumerate…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/extract-profile-search.py` and `scripts/get-profile-details.py`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Influencer and creator marketing and Social media marketing. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation CLI built for AI agents. Break through anti-bot walls, hand off to humans across platforms when stuck. Parallel multi-task execution, independent multi-session… The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11c057b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
threads.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Threads Profile Search loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 671 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/threads-profile-search/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 2 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.keyword → list of matching user profiles with optional enrichment (bio, follower count)
All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.
Search Threads for user accounts matching a keyword and extract profile information, with optional per-user enrichment to retrieve biography and follower count via the profile API.
If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.
Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.
This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the
scripts/directory, invoked viaeval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})".$(...)is bash syntax; it is recommended to use the bash tool for execution.
Navigate to the profile search page, then extract user accounts from the SSR-embedded JSON:
navigate https://www.threads.com/search/?q={keyword}&type=profileswait stableeval "$(python scripts/extract-profile-search.py '{keyword}')"Output example:
{
"keyword": "zuck",
"profiles": [
{
"pk": "14803522782", // Instagram-based user ID
"username": "ceozuck162", // Threads username (without @)
"full_name": "ceo,zuck", // display name
"is_verified": false, // blue checkmark verification status
"is_private": false, // true if account is private
"profile_pic_url": "https://...", // profile picture URL
"profile_url": "https://www.threads.com/@ceozuck162"
}
],
"count": 16,
"page_info": {
"end_cursor": null,
"has_next_page": false,
"has_previous_page": false,
"start_cursor": null
}
}Error handling: If error: true is returned, verify the page URL ends with &type=profiles. If searchResults not found, retry navigate and wait stable once. If count: 0, no accounts matched the keyword.
Enrich a single username with full profile data including biography and follower count. The browser must be on any Threads page (authentication state is shared across the session):
eval "$(python scripts/get-profile-details.py '{username}')"
Parameters:
username: Threads username without @ (e.g., zuck)Output example:
{
"pk": "314216", // Instagram user ID
"username": "zuck",
"full_name": "Mark Zuckerberg",
"biography": "I build stuff", // profile bio text, null if empty
"follower_count": 16944740, // number of followers, null if unavailable
"following_count": 464, // number of accounts followed
"is_verified": true,
"is_private": false,
"profile_pic_url": "https://...",
"profile_url": "https://www.threads.com/@zuck",
"external_url": null // website URL from profile, null if not set
}Error handling: If error: true with a 429 status, the profile API is rate-limited — wait 10-30 seconds before retrying. If User not found, the username may be invalid or the account may be deleted.
To collect profiles with biography and follower count for all results:
navigate https://www.threads.com/search/?q={keyword}&type=profiles → wait stableeval "$(python scripts/extract-profile-search.py '{keyword}')" → collect profiles listusername in profiles:
a. eval "$(python scripts/get-profile-details.py '{username}')" → merge biography, follower_count, following_count, external_url into profile recordNote: Profile API calls are made in the browser context and share the same session cookies. Add 1-2 second intervals between per-user calls to avoid rate limiting.
Pagination is not available for unauthenticated access on profile search (has_next_page: false). Results are limited to approximately 16 profiles per keyword without login.
result.count >= 1 and result.profiles[0].username != null
For enriched flow: profiles[0].follower_count != null and profiles[0].biography != null

Do not call get-profile-details.py in parallel within the same session — rate limit applies.get-profile-details.py calls use fetch() in the current browser context — no additional navigation needed.Path: {working-directory}/browser-act-skill-forge-memories/threads-scraper-threads-profile-search.memory.md
Before execution: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations encountered during past executions; adjust strategy order accordingly.
After execution: If an unexpected situation is encountered (strategy became ineffective, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded, better path discovered), append a line:
{YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}
Normal execution does not write to the file. Do not record what keywords were used or how many results were returned — those are task outputs, not experience.

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Threads Profile Search needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: threads.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Threads Profile Search is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
