Threads — Profile Search

keyword → list of matching user profiles with optional enrichment (bio, follower count)

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

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.

Prerequisites

A browser is open and connected via browser-act
No login required for profile search (unauthenticated: up to 16 profiles per query, no pagination)

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

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.

Capability Components

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 via eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". $(...) is bash syntax; it is recommended to use the bash tool for execution.

SSR: Extract profile search results (basic info)

Navigate to the profile search page, then extract user accounts from the SSR-embedded JSON:

navigate https://www.threads.com/search/?q={keyword}&type=profiles
wait stable
eval "$(python scripts/extract-profile-search.py '{keyword}')"
