threads-private-api

Unofficial Threads Private API & Trend Radar SDK for Python and TypeScript. High-performance headless protocol engine for Threads (com.instagram.barcelona). Sub-80ms real-time keyword search, full nested discussion tree ingestion, external thread replies, and zero residential proxy cost.

Companion Project: Looking for full Instagram mobile automation, DM outreach, warmup loops, and Reels publishing? Check out instagram-private-api — Pure HTTP/2 zero-device engine with authentic Android 14 / iOS 17 JA4 TLS 1.3 signatures.

• Direct Reply to Any External Thread: The official Graph API strictly blocks replying to threads created by other accounts. This SDK uses native mobile protocol endpoints to discover any thread's internal media ID and dispatch replies directly.
• Sub-80ms Real-Time Ingestion: Query keyword streams, emerging topics, and brand mentions at wire speed without browser overhead.
• Full Nested Reply Trees: Traverses complex multi-level conversations, quotes, parent-child comments, and author engagement metadata.
• Dual Platform Hardware Presets:
  • Threads iOS: Barcelona 410.2.0.33.71 (iPhone16,1; iOS 17_6_1), X-IG-App-ID: 1546306509211461.
  • Threads Android: Barcelona 410.2.0.33.71 Android (34/14; Samsung SM-A346B), X-IG-App-ID: 3419628305025917.
• Unified Meta Auth: Shares the identical bearer token format with Instagram (Authorization: Bearer IGT:2:...). Drive both platforms using a single unified session.
• Shared Social Graph: Follows, unfollows, and block states automatically reflect across both Instagram and Threads.
