Threads Profile Media Posts API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
How much does the Threads Profile Media Posts API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send handle. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a Threads login?
No. It reads public Threads data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds threads.user.threads, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
Your first Threads call is free.
