Threads Keyword Search Without App Review: Monitor in Python
Without app review, Meta's Threads keyword_search endpoint only searches posts owned by the authenticated user. Public posts become searchable only after Meta approves your app for the threads_keyword_search permission.

Threads keyword search functionality through its API endpoint requires approval from Meta for the threads_keyword_search permission. Until then, only the authenticated user's posts are searchable. Public posts become searchable after app approval. To monitor public keywords before or instead of approval, the public search page at threads.com/search?q=... can be read, and posts deduped by their code between runs.
The official API provides more features, such as date bounds and 100 results per page, compared to the public page. However, the public page can be used as a prototype or for one-off research pulls without app approval.
