Threads

The Meta Threads API enables developers to build integrations for the Threads social media platform. It supports publishing text, image, video, carousel, and quote posts, reading and managing replies, accessing profile information, retrieving media insights, and managing account settings. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with scoped access tokens.

Threads publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authorization API, Post to Threads > Quote Threads Posts API, Post to Threads > Repost Threads Posts API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Social, Social Networks, Meta, Publishing, and Media.

The Threads catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Threads’ developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, changelog, and 12 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/threads-api: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    take a look at the [walkthrough of the authentication process](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/get-started/get-access-tokens-and-permissions).
    Once the access token is retrieved, use the [access token debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken)

    `threads_manage_replies`, `threads_manage_insights`) and verify that the access token hasn''t expired.


    Follow the [documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/get-started/long-lived-tokens) to exchange a short-lived
    Threads User Access Token for a long-lived token and refresh unexpired long-lived Threads User Access tokens. **Note:**
    The `threads_basic` permission is sufficient for the exchange or refresh process.'
