Threads API for Developers

Publish to Threads from one REST API with support for text posts, single images, single videos, and mixed-media carousels. Ampost handles account connection, token refresh, and the platform-specific publish flow behind the scenes.

Text-Only Posts

Publish plain-text Threads posts through the same API you use for other networks, with text limits normalized before delivery.

Single Images and Videos

Send one image or one video with a caption without wiring raw Threads container creation and publish steps into your own service.

Carousels up to 20 Items

Create Threads carousel posts with mixed image and video media from one request payload, up to the current 20-item platform limit.

Managed OAuth

Ampost owns the Threads connection flow, so your product can connect accounts without building platform-specific auth screens and callback handling.

Automatic Token Refresh

Long-lived Threads credentials are refreshed for you, which reduces routine failures caused by expired access tokens.

Unified Multi-Platform Surface

Use the same post model across Threads, Instagram, Facebook, and other supported networks instead of maintaining one integration per platform.

Why this page exists

A practical Threads publishing API for product teams

Teams searching for a Threads API usually do not just need a raw endpoint. They need a reliable way to connect accounts, normalize content, move media through the publish lifecycle, and avoid shipping one-off Threads logic into every internal tool, SaaS app, or automation worker.

Ampost gives you a productized Threads publishing layer. Your service sends text, media URLs, and platform choices through one REST workflow, while Ampost manages the connection flow, credential refresh, and the platform-specific publish steps required by Threads.

That makes it a better fit for engineering teams building repeatable social workflows, not just manual posting utilities. It is especially useful when Threads is only one part of a broader multi-network publishing surface.

Use cases

AI agents posting product updates

Let an agent draft short-form updates, attach a product image, and publish to Threads through a predictable REST interface instead of browser automation.

SaaS products with customer-owned social accounts

Embed Threads publishing inside your own dashboard so customers can post natively from your app without hopping across platform-specific tooling.

Agencies standardizing social delivery

Push approved copy and asset URLs through one API across multiple brands while Ampost handles the Threads-specific connection and media workflow.

Publish to Threads in one API call

Connect a Threads account once, then create posts from your own backend, automation pipeline, or agent runtime with a consistent Ampost request shape.

curl -X POST https://api.ampost.io/api/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer amp_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": {
      "text": "Shipping notes from today’s release.",
      "media": [
        { "url": "https://cdn.example.com/release-1.png", "type": "image" },
        { "url": "https://cdn.example.com/release-2.mp4", "type": "video" }
      ],
      "linkUrl": "https://example.com/changelog",
      "platformOverrides": {}
    },
    "platforms": ["threads"],
    "scheduledFor": null,
    "platformSetId": "set_uuid"
  }'

Threads-specific caveats

What developers should know before integrating

Threads support is accurate to the current Ampost integration surface: text posts, one image, one video, or a carousel with up to 20 media items.

Threads post text is capped at 500 characters in the current broker implementation. If you also include a link, Ampost appends it inside that same limit.

Scheduling for Threads is not currently enabled in the platform validation rules, so this page intentionally describes direct API publishing rather than queued Threads jobs.

Build path

Move from Threads proof of concept to production

Start with the API docs to confirm the request shape and account model, then map Ampost pricing and limits to the way your product creates posts across customer workspaces.

The goal is to minimize Threads-specific code in your own stack while keeping full control over text, media URLs, and when your service should trigger a publish request.

FAQ

Common questions about Threads API integration

What can I publish to Threads with Ampost?

Ampost supports Threads text-only posts, single-image posts, single-video posts, and carousels with up to 20 media items. You send one request and include `threads` in the `platforms` array.

Do I need to manage Threads OAuth and token refresh myself?

No. Ampost handles the Threads account connection flow, stores the credentials, and refreshes access tokens so your integration can focus on content generation and publish orchestration.

Can I schedule Threads posts with Ampost today?

Not today. Threads support in this product is currently aimed at immediate publishing through the API. If scheduling is added later, it should be treated as a separate capability rather than assumed here.
