Connecting

curl -X POST https://api.social-api.ai/v1/accounts/connect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platform": "threads",
    "redirect_uri": "https://app.example.com/oauth/callback",
    "state": "session_abc123"
  }'
Response:

  "state": "4a8f2c1e9b3d7f06a5c2e8b4d1f3a7e2"

Redirect your user to auth_url. After they authorize, SocialAPI exchanges the code with Threads and redirects the user to your redirect_uri with the connection result. See OAuth flows for the redirect parameters.

Limitations and gotchas

  • Moderation. Hide, unhide, and delete are supported. Unsupported moderation actions return 501.
  • No post updates. Threads does not support editing published posts. Use delete and re-create if needed.
  • Publishing. Supports text posts, single images, single videos, and carousel posts.
  • Token refresh. Threads tokens can expire. SocialAPI handles refresh automatically. If you receive 401 with code: "invalid_token", reconnect the account.

​
Permissions

SocialAPI’s managed Meta Threads App already requests these scopes on your behalf: threads_basic, threads_content_publish, threads_read_replies, threads_delete. You don’t need to apply for any platform app review. See Platform credentials.
