πŸ“‘ Output β€” threadsAPI.getUserProfileReplies

Same as the output of threadsAPI.getUserProfileThreads but thread_items.length is 2, with the latter as the reply. πŸ˜‰

πŸš€ Usage (Write)

New API (from v1.2.0)

✨ Text Threads
import { ThreadsAPI } from 'threads-api';

const main = async () => {
  const threadsAPI = new ThreadsAPI({
    username: '_junhoyeo', // Your username
    password: 'PASSWORD', // Your password
  });

  await threadsAPI.publish({
    text: 'πŸ€– Hello World',
  });
};

main();

Writing Text Threads

πŸ’‘ TIP: Use the url field in ThreadsAPIPublishOptions to render Link Attachments(link previews).

✨ Threads with Image
await threadsAPI.publish({
  text: 'πŸ€– Threads with Image',
  image: 'https://github.com/junhoyeo/threads-api/raw/main/.github/cover.jpg',
});
await threadsAPI.publish({
  text: 'πŸ€– Threads with Link Attachment',
  url: 'https://github.com/junhoyeo/threads-api',
});
✨ Reply to Other Threads
const parentURL = 'https://www.threads.net/t/CugF-EjhQ3r';
const parentPostID = await threadsAPI.getPostIDfromURL(parentURL); // or use `getPostIDfromThreadID`

await threadsAPI.publish({
  text: 'πŸ€– Beep',
  link: 'https://github.com/junhoyeo/threads-api',
  parentPostID: parentPostID,
});

Writing Text Threads

✨ Like/Unlike a Thread (from v1.3.0)
const threadURL = 'https://www.threads.net/t/CugK35fh6u2';
const postIDToLike = await threadsAPI.getPostIDfromURL(threadURL); // or use `getPostIDfromThreadID`

// πŸ’‘ Uses current credentials
await threadsAPI.like(postIDToLike);
await threadsAPI.unlike(postIDToLike);
✨ Follow/Unfollow a User (from v1.3.0)
const userIDToFollow = await threadsAPI.getUserIDfromUsername('junhoyeo');

// πŸ’‘ Uses current credentials
await threadsAPI.follow(userIDToFollow);
await threadsAPI.unfollow(userIDToFollow);

Old API (Deprecated, Still works for backwards compatibility)

import { ThreadsAPI } from 'threads-api';

const main = async () => {
  const threadsAPI = new ThreadsAPI({
    username: 'jamel.hammoud', // Your username
    password: 'PASSWORD', // Your password
  });

  await threadsAPI.publish('πŸ€– Hello World');
};

main();

You can also provide custom deviceID (Default is android-${(Math.random() * 1e24).toString(36)}).

const deviceID = `android-${(Math.random() * 1e24).toString(36)}`;

const threadsAPI = new ThreadsAPI({
  username: 'jamel.hammoud',
  password: 'PASSWORD',
  deviceID,
});

Installation

yarn add threads-api
# or with npm
npm install threads-api
# or with pnpm
pnpm install threads-api
// or in Deno πŸ¦–
import ThreadsAPI from 'npm:threads-api';

const threadsAPI = new ThreadsAPI.ThreadsAPI({});
