The Data score on Threads profile APIs: This score, out of 100, shows how much of an account's profile a provider's call returns. We ask for each account's profile by the account's handle. We read each account's Threads page without signing in, within minutes of calling ScrapeCreators, SociaVault, lobstr.io and API Direct. We called AnyAPI, Bright Data and ReefAPI an hour after that, on the same accounts. For each account, we divide the parts the answer held by the parts the Threads page or any answer shows. We don't count a provider's followers number when two other providers agree on a different one. We check a call against the providers that read the account within ten minutes of that call. Then we average the results over all accounts. Each account counts the same. An account the call didn't find counts as 0. We compare a provider that ran on fewer accounts with the other providers on those same accounts. A provider can't score higher by running only on easy accounts. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer accounts than the benchmark has.
