Text posts
Up to 500 characters, no media required.
textThreads API
The Threads API for text, photos & video
Publish text posts and media carousels to Threads from your own code, with alt text on every image. Meta's container flow is handled for you.
What you can publish
Every Threads format, one endpoint
The same request that posts everywhere else, with the fields Threads needs and nothing it doesn't.
Carousels
Up to 10 images and videos on one post, mixed freely.
uploadIdsAlt text
Describe each image or video for screen readers through mediaItems.
mediaItemsAnalytics
Profile and post metrics, with reposts and quotes counted together as shares.
Beyond publishing
More than a way to post to Threads
Everything around the post — when it goes out, how it performs, where else it lands — through the same API.
Scheduling
Schedule Threads posts to the minute
Give a post a time and Bulkit publishes it then. Queue a week — or a quarter — of Threads content in one go, and let retries and rate limits take care of themselves.
- Any time zone
- Retries built in
- Rate limits handled
Analytics
Threads analytics, in one schema
Profile and post metrics for posts after April 2024. Shares combine reposts and quotes. Same response shape as every other network, so there's nothing to reconcile.
- Post metrics
- Profile metrics
- Shares
Cross-posting
Threads and 11 more networks in one call
Add targets to the same request and one payload fans out everywhere, with each network getting the fields it needs. Upload media once and reuse it on every channel.
- One API key
- One schema
- No per-network fees
AI agents
Let your AI agent post to Threads
Bulkit's MCP server gives Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible agent real tools to publish and schedule to Threads — the same actions your code calls.
- Claude & Cursor
- Scoped API keys
- Every call logged

Built on Instagram's rails
Threads runs on Instagram's infrastructure. Bulkit handles that plumbing so a Threads post is just another target.
Media limits, known
Images must be 320–1440px wide and under 8 MB; video tops out at 100 Mbps. The numbers are here before your upload fails.
Accessible by default
Every item in mediaItems takes altText, so carousels posted by code stay readable with a screen reader.
Analytics, with the caveats
Metrics exist only for posts after April 2024, and shares combine reposts and quotes. Both are documented, not discovered.
