**Category:** Social Media | **Website:** [www.threads.com/](https://www.threads.com/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/5852b6ba-ad32-4405-9c06-4dff00beddcb/threads-com-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/5852b6ba-ad32-4405-9c06-4dff00beddcb/threads-com-api)

Pay-per-use API proxy for Locus Pro. Each call burns credits from your workspace balance.

## Access

**Base URL:** `https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/threads-web/`
**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer <LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY>` (an `lcr_` secret key or a scoped `lcac_` agent credential)
**Required header:** `Idempotency-Key: <fresh UUID per call>`. A retry with the same key replays the stored result without a new charge.
**Response:** the provider response after any endpoint-specific normalization. `X-Locus-Credits-Charged` carries the charge and `X-Locus-Credits-Balance` the remaining balance. Insufficient credits return `402` before the provider is called.
**Pricing:** estimated costs below are USD. Locus debits the credit equivalent at your workspace rate.

> Using a Pay With Locus wallet key (`claw_` prefix)? Wallet routes are documented separately: https://docs.paywithlocus.com/wrapped-apis/for-agents

## Endpoints

### Search posts

Full-text search over Threads posts by keyword. Returns matching posts with text content, engagement metrics (likes, replies, reposts, quotes), author info, media URLs, and link previews. Results are server-ranked; search_surface controls recency bias. Each post includes an embedded author object. No cursor-based pagination — a single page of up to `limit` results is returned per call.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `limit` | integer | No | Maximum number of posts to return |
| `query` | string | Yes | Search keyword or phrase |
| `search_surface` | string | No | Search surface type that controls result ranking. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/threads-web/search-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit":"<integer>","query":"<string>","search_surface":"<string>"}'
```

### Search users

Search for user accounts on Threads by keyword. Returns matching profiles with username, display name, profile picture URL, verification status, and whether the user is active on Threads. Results ranked by relevance to the query. No cursor-based pagination — a single page of up to `limit` results is returned per call.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `limit` | integer | No | Maximum number of users to return |
| `query` | string | Yes | Search keyword for user/account name |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/threads-web/search-users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit":"<integer>","query":"<string>"}'
```
