Response
A finished call answers with HTTP 200; the data is in results[0].data, and billing.credits_charged is what it cost. A call still running after the wait answers 202: see jobs and results.
This is results[0].data from a real run:
{ "profile_url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/media", "result_count": 4, "posts": [ { "type": "thread", "url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DcOlZHcjqQY" }, { "type": "thread", "url": "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DcMAltFH5Ik" } ]}
Fields
| Field | Type | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
posts[].type |
string | What kind of item it is, such as thread. | thread |
posts[].url |
string | The thread's link. | https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DcOlZHcjqQY |

profile_url |

If a call fails
A failed call costs nothing. The response carries an error.code you can branch on; Errors and retries lists every code and which ones to retry.
