## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | 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. |
| limit | integer (1–) | no | not declared | 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. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| text | Body 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_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
| author_name | Author's display name. |
| author_is_verified | platform-native meaning |
| like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
| comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| reply_to | platform-native meaning |
| posted_at | Publish 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. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

        "action": "comments",
        "params": {
            "url": "https://www.threads.com/@openai/post/DW7RXR7EnRC",

## Response example

Real response to the example request above, captured 2026-09-26T08:56:04Z. `results` and `count` are real with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2 of 21. `id`, `billing` and `quota` differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.
