Threads Comments API

POST

API health

Health data cannot be read right now, so this API's recent state is unknown. That does not mean it is down.

Collect the replies under a Threads post, each with text, author, verification, like count and what it responds to. Pass the full post URL; nested replies may not all come back.

Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Threads Comments endpoint (threads/comments).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to threads and action to comments, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - url: Specifies the full post URL (e.g., https://www.threads.com/@username/post/POST_CODE) for post_detail and comments actions. The comments action does not guarantee extraction of all nested comment threads.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer of 1 or more. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows.
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, text, author_username, author_name, author_is_verified, like_count, comment_count, reply_to, posted_at.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "threads",
  "action": "comments",
  "params": {
    "url": "https://www.threads.com/@openai/post/DW7RXR7EnRC"
  }
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
textBody text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
author_usernameAuthor's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs.
author_nameAuthor's display name.
author_is_verifiedKeeps the platform's own meaning
like_countLikes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
comment_countComments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
reply_toKeeps the platform's own meaning
posted_atPublish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

Official references

Used only to check objects and terms. They do not imply authorization or endorsement of EveryInfra by the platform.

  • Official Meta Documentation: Top-Level Replies vs. Full Conversation Trees ↗

    Meta official sources distinguish top-level replies from full, unlimited-depth conversations, defining `replied_to` as the direct parent content ID. In this API, `reply_to` represents the replied-to username rather than the official `replied_to` field and does not guarantee a full comment tree; official visibility and copyright restrictions may also cause missing fields.

  • Official Meta Documentation: Permissions Required to Read Threads Replies ↗

    Meta official documentation for reply management focuses on an account's own Threads, requiring an appropriate access token and read permissions. Referencing this does not guarantee access to arbitrary third-party posts nor prove that this product has received platform authorization.
