}Long arrays and strings are shortened for display; real responses are complete.
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. A reply's URL lists that reply's own replies.
Examplehttps://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DeZtp-TkQHh
Only items at or after this time: RFC 3339 (2026-10-01T12:00:00Z) or a date (2026-10-01, midnight UTC). On newest-first lists, paging stops when it is reached, so later pages are not fetched or charged. Compared with published_at (exact): the list is newest first, so the walk stops at the first older reply and later pages are not fetched.
Example2026-10-01
Only items before this time (exclusive): RFC 3339 or a date (midnight UTC).
Example2026-10-08
Items per page, 1 to the endpoint's page size (its default and maximum; larger values are reduced to it). Omit it: every page costs the same, so a smaller limit means more pages to pay for.
Example50
cursorstringpage.next_cursor from the previous response. Send the same other parameters; omit to start from the first page.
url takes Threads post links; another kind of link, or another platform's, fails free with invalid_input. Unknown parameters are rejected with a suggestion, never ignored (Requests). limit and cursor page through the list: see Pagination.
Parameters every endpoint accepts
Accept a cached response up to this many seconds old. Cache hits cost 0 credits. Omit to always fetch fresh. The Cache-Control: max-age=N request header is equivalent; max_age wins when both are sent.
fieldsstringReturn only these fields of each item: comma-separated paths in the schema's notation (id,text,metrics.view_count,segments[].text; a parent path keeps the whole object). Unknown paths are rejected. Applied after the cache, so it changes neither the price nor cache hits; page and meta are always returned whole.
Response
200
{data, page, meta}. data is an array of up to 50 comment objects, newest first; page says how to get the next page; meta describes the request (meta). Fields only Threads has are under platform_specific.threads.

edited_atstring date-timenullableWhen the comment was last edited, RFC 3339 UTC; null when never edited or when the platform marks edits without a time (see is_edited).
is_editedbooleannullableThe comment was edited after posting (the platform's edited mark); null when the platform does not say.
is_pinnedbooleannullablePinned by the post's author.
is_liked_by_authorbooleannullableLiked or hearted by the post's author.
is_by_post_authorbooleannullableWritten by the post's author (the creator's own comment, marked as such by the platform).

repost_countintegernullableTimes the reply was reposted; never negative.
quote_countintegernullableTimes the reply was quoted in another post; never negative.
languagestringnullableThe reply's language as Threads detected it, a BCP-47 tag (en, pt, zh-TW); null when Threads could not tell (an emoji, a link, media only) or does not say.
approximate_fieldsstring[]JSON paths of values rounded by the platform or parsed from display text. A list path (external_links) means the list may be incomplete. [] when all exact.
unknown_fieldsstring[]JSON paths of lists whose [] means unknown rather than none (a source that cannot see them); null already means unknown for every other field. [] when every list is known.
not_found and private_or_unavailable are item-level: the request was fine, the item can't be returned.
400
400 Bad Request: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing.
invalid_inputNo retryA parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes.
Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one.
invalid_cursorNo retryThe cursor is malformed or expired, belongs to another endpoint, or came with other parameters than the request that returned it.
Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again.
401
401 Unauthorized: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.
unauthorizedNo retryThe x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired.
Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url.
402
402 Payment Required: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing.
insufficient_creditsNo retryThe account does not have enough credits for this request.
Have a person buy credits at details.purchase_url (or make them a checkout link with details.checkout), then repeat the request. Do not retry automatically.
spend_limit_reachedNo retryThe API key reached its spend limit for this period. The account may still have credits.
Wait until details.resets_at, or raise the key's spend limit (PATCH /v1/api_keys/{id}). Do not retry automatically.
403
403 Forbidden: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing.
forbiddenNo retryThe API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item: a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403, so branch on the code.
Act on details.reason. suspended: contact support. scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP.
404
404 Not Found: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.
not_foundNo retryThe item does not exist or was deleted. On GET /v1/requests/{id}/response: the response was not kept (details.reason says why).
Check the link or ID. Do not retry.
429
429 Too Many Requests: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.
rate_limitedYes, laterThe account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it.
Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask support to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one.
500
500 Internal Error: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.
internalYes, laterAn unexpected error on SocialTap's side.
Retry with backoff. If it keeps happening, contact support with the request_id.
502
502 Bad Gateway: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.
upstream_errorYes, laterThe platform failed, or answered with something we could not read.
Retry with backoff. Failed requests are free.
503
503 Unavailable: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing.
upstream_blockedYes, laterThe platform refused every attempt, our own retries included.
Retry later with backoff. Failed requests are free.
overloadedYes, laterSocialTap was at capacity, or paused by its operators, and did not start the request. Nothing was fetched or charged.
Retry after the seconds in the retry-after header. Failed requests are free.
Items come in pages, newest first. To get the next page, send the same request plus cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response. Keep every other parameter the same (limit, max_age and fields may change); anything else that differs is rejected. When page.has_more is false the walk is over, and page.end_reason says why: only end means you have every item (the others say the platform or a page cap stopped the walk early).
The page object
has_morebooleanTrue when another page exists; then next_cursor is set. An empty page with has_more true is not the end.
next_cursorstringnullablePass as cursor, with the same other parameters, to get the next page; null at the end.
next_cursor_expires_atstring date-timenullableWhen next_cursor stops working, RFC 3339 UTC; null at the end. Don't store cursors.
end_reasonstringnullableWhy there are no more pages; null while has_more is true. end: the list ended, or reached since/until. platform_limit: the platform stops serving further pages although the list goes on. max_pages: SocialTap's cap on pages in one walk. New values may be added. A short or empty page is not the end: only has_more false is.

-H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY"- The price is per page: each successful page costs the same, whatever
limitis and however many items it has. Empty pages are charged too (an empty page withhas_more: trueis not the end). - A
limitbelow 50 doesn't save credits: the next request serves the rest of the same platform page, which is fetched again and charged as a page each time, and items can shift between those requests if the platform changes the list. Omittinglimitis the cheapest way to walk the list. - Errors are free, including a rejected cursor.
- Pages served from the cache are free.
- An expired or altered cursor, or one sent with different parameters, fails with
invalid_cursor(HTTP 400): Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again.
From 1 credit per page. Charged per successful page, whatever its number of items. Errors are free. The price depends on the source that produced the result, reported as meta.source; sources are tried cheapest first: Platform API → Public page.
| Source | Price per successful page | Per 1,000 pages |
|---|---|---|
Platform API api | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.97 |
Public page page | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.97 |
Balance, sources and what you were charged
Your balance must be at least 1 credit to start a request; with less, it is refused with insufficient_credits (HTTP 402) and costs nothing. Only that minimum is set aside when the request starts.
