Good to Know

• Videos are listed with their cover image where the post provides one, so a video usually returns two links
• Media links can expire, so download the files you need promptly
• A post that cannot be read is left out of the results, so a run can return fewer rows than links

How to Use

Input Format

Provide an array of Threads post URLs:

{
  "post_urls": [
    "https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v",
    "https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/DSVRshjkbtK"
  ]
}

Post URL Format

A post link looks like https://www.threads.com/@{username}/post/{POST_CODE}. The www. prefix is optional, and threads.net links work too.

Examples:

• ✅ https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v
• ✅ https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/DSVRshjkbtK
• ✅ https://threads.com/@instagram/post/DQNCKbZjq-v
• ❌ threads.com/@user/post/ABC (missing https://)
• ❌ https://www.threads.com/@user (missing /post/ part)

FAQ

Q: Why is one of my links missing from the results? A: A link is left out when the post has been deleted, is from a private account, or could not be read in full. Posts that exist but have no media still appear, with their text.

Q: Why do media URLs expire? A: Public media links can be temporary. Download the files you need soon after the run finishes.

Q: Can I download videos automatically? A: This tool provides download URLs. Use your browser or a download manager to save files.

Q: How many posts can I process? A: Up to 20 posts per run. For more, run multiple times.

Q: Why does one video show two links? A: Most videos come with a cover image. The video link is the file itself; the cover image is the still frame shown before it plays. A video without a cover simply leaves that slot empty.

Q: What about carousel posts? A: Yes — carousel items are collected, videos and images alike, each listed separately. If a post cannot be read in full it is left out rather than returned incomplete.
