## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| username | not declared | yes | not declared | Specifies the Threads handle (with or without @) for profile, user_posts, and followers actions. The profile and user_posts actions do not accept full profile URLs. The followers action returns aggregate follower counts rather than a user member list. |
| channel | not declared | no | not declared | Provides a compatibility fallback for specifying an account handle in the followers action. It takes lower precedence than username and returns follower counts rather than channel or group member lists. |

## 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. |
| username | Username (@handle). |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| follower_count | Followers. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| following_count | Accounts followed. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| post_count | Total posts. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
| connection_count | platform-native meaning |
| precision | platform-native meaning |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
