Do More with the Threads API

Threads is a place where people can find fresh perspectives on what’s happening now and build community around shared interests.

Last year, we launched the Threads API to help creators and businesses jump in the conversation and share their perspectives. We later introduced multiple improvements and enabled content discovery.

Today, we are excited to announce new enhancements to the Threads API.

What's new?

• Search and add a location to your Threads post when publishing.
• Add polls when publishing new threads, and retrieve poll results from existing threads.
• Create text-only threads faster using a single API call with the auto_publish_text parameter.
• Delete your own posts.
• Retrieve public profiles and fetch public posts that were created by public profiles.
• Create posts with topic tags and search for public posts by topic tag.
• Query click metrics to understand how many times your links are clicked on.
• Find relevant posts by specifying a date range when searching with a keyword.
• Fetch GIF media on posts with GIF attachments.
• Restrict posts to only allow replies from followers.
• Get real-time notifications when you are mentioned in a post thanks to a new webhook.

Get started

Our self-serve developer documentation, our sample app, and the Threads API collection on the Postman API Platform are here to help you get started.

Finally, we’re excited to introduce support for programmatically debugging access tokens, enabling developers to inspect an access token, view what permissions it has, and find out when it will expire. We hope it makes it even easier to build on the Threads API.
