One schema on 21 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 username with or without the @ (zuck, @zuck), the account's numeric id, or a threads.com or threads.net profile link, with any tab (/replies, /media) or query.

  • Write one parser

    Threads, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring
Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring
Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
urlstring
Canonical post URL.
typestring
Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
platform_typestring
The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
titlestring
Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
textstring
Caption, description or body as plain text.
languagestring
BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

What teams build with the Threads Posts API.

  • Catch an account's new posts since a date

  • Benchmark engagement across creators and brands

  • Back up an account's posts and media

Good to know before you build.

  • Each item is the first post of a thread, and the author's follow-up posts in it are not separate items. Replies to other accounts and reposts are not included.
  • metrics.view_count and metrics.save_count are null because Threads doesn't show them logged out. metrics.like_count is null when the author hides it.
