Threads Comments API. Replies, page by page.
Replies to a public post, newest first. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.
Threads Comments API at a glance
Returns the public replies to a Threads post, newest first, from its link, short link, code or numeric ID. Each reply has its text, the author with their verified badge, the exact posting time, like, reply, repost and quote counts, and the language Threads detected. It also says whether the reply is pinned or edited, and whether the post's author liked or wrote it. Use since and until to read only a time window.

Ok(())
}200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/threads/commentsLong arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.Docs One schema on 9 platforms.
The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
Null means unknown
A field Threads doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
Threads post URL (threads.com or threads.net: /@user/post/<code>, its /media, /embed or other views, or the short /t/<code> link) or a bare post: its 11-character code or its numeric ID.
Write one parser
Threads, TikTok, Instagram and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring- Platform-native comment ID (string; Reddit with its t1_ prefix).
post_idstring- ID of the post commented on (equals post.id).
parent_idstring- ID of the comment this replies to; null for top-level comments.
urlstring- Permalink, when the platform has one.
textstring- Comment body as plain text.
authorobject- The commenting account. An account the platform no longer names (a deleted account) has a null id and username and the platform's label as display_name (Reddit: [deleted]).
published_atstring- When the comment was posted, RFC 3339 UTC. Where the platform shows only a relative time ("3 weeks ago"), the latest time that label allows (the fetch time minus the stated amount), listed in approximate_fields.
Live data from 33 platforms.
What teams build with the Threads Comments API.
Track replies under your and competitors' posts
Collect new replies since a date
Find questions and feedback to answer
Build reply datasets for research
Good to know before you build.
- Only direct replies to the post are listed. metrics.reply_count says how many replies each one has, and its url lists them.
- Threads shows logged-out visitors fewer replies than the post's reply count, because it leaves out replies it filters, and the list ends where Threads ends it.
- Replies Threads covers with "This content is unavailable" are left out.
- The author's own continuation of the post (the self-thread under it) is not a reply here.
- Given a reply's link, the replies to that reply are listed. post_id is then the reply's code, since on Threads a reply is a post, and parent_id is null.
- A link to no visible Threads post returns not_found.

Questions about the Threads Comments API.
More in the API reference.
Does it return replies to replies?
No. It lists a post's direct replies. Send a reply's link to list the replies under that reply.
How much does the Threads Comments API cost?
A page of up to 50 replies costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
How do I get the next page?
Repeat the same request with cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response, keeping the other parameters. When page.has_more is false there are no more pages. Cursors expire after 30 minutes.
Try it on a link you already have.
Paste it in the playground, or copy the request into your code.
