Threads API
Public Threads profiles, an account's posts and single posts, with text, media and engagement.
Overview
Read what anyone can see on Threads without logging in: profiles, an account's posts, and single posts with their likes, replies and reposts. Useful for competitor monitoring, audience research and tracking engagement. Private posts aren't available, and a count Threads doesn't show is null, never estimated.

Endpoints
Call it
Each endpoint is a web address. Request it with GET, put your API key in the x-api-key header, and you get JSON back. For example, Threads profile:
curl "https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/threads/profile?handle=zuck" \-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"Use it in Claude
Connect LurkAPI to Claude and ask in plain English. Each endpoint is a tool Claude can call:
| Tool | Endpoint |
|---|---|
threads_profile | Threads profile |
threads_user_posts | Threads account posts |
threads_post | Threads post |
