How do I get a Threads post's details with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/threads/post with the full post URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the post text, like count, reply count, repost count, view count, media attachments, and author information.

What engagement fields does the endpoint return?

The response breaks engagement into likes, comments (replies), shares (reposts), saves (reshares), and views. Every field lives under the unified post.engagement object so you can compare engagement across platforms with the same code.

Does it work for video posts and reshared content?

Yes. Video posts return the same core fields plus thumbnail, duration, and view count. Reshared posts include the original author info so you can trace the post back to its source without extra lookups.

Can I trim the response to just the essentials?

Yes. Pass trim=true and the endpoint returns a compact payload with only the core fields. Handy for dashboards and feeds where you display a summary and only fetch the full post on demand.

How fast is the Threads Post API?

Most requests return JSON in 1–3 seconds. The endpoint uses the post cache category, so repeat requests for the same post URL come back faster from the SocialCrawl cache with no extra credit charge on cache hits.
