The popular ‘microblogging’ social network, Meta, has recently launched an application programming interface (API) called the Threads API. This API allows developers to integrate their services with Meta and manage their presence on the platform, as well as access performance metrics for their posts. According to Threads engineer Jesse Chen on the official Meta blog, this tool enables users to efficiently publish content, control replies and quotes, and track views, likes, replies, quotes, and followers for a comprehensive overview of their account’s reach.
During the beta phase of development, partners such as Hootsuite, Social News Desk, and Techmeme tested the Threads API. The release of this tool is accompanied by an example version available on GitHub to serve as a guide for developers looking to integrate their services with the social network. Overall, the Threads API offers a variety of features that can enhance the user experience and streamline the management of accounts on the platform.
