One call costs 2 credits ($0.004 to $0.0067 depending on the pack); failed calls are free. Call it over HTTP or from your AI client over MCP. Last tested 2026-10-17.

Every item also has platform, id, ref, approx and type; the response around the items is the same on every call. Response format
What to expect.
One call returns the first page only, up to 30 items, with no cursor, for 2 credits.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 2 credits.
1 call per second per key, 5 after a purchase; going over is not charged. Rate limits
A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. Error codes
Once connected over MCP, these questions use it.

Questions.
Short answers.
Everything on ThreadsDo I need a Threads account or Threads's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on Threads; you never sign in to Threads or apply for anything there.
Can I get the next page?
No. On Threads this interface gives its first page only (up to 30 items): the response carries no cursor, and page.has_more is always false.
