Meta opens Threads API to all developers, enhancing content management and engagement
Meta has recently announced the availability of the Threads API to all developers. This new API aims to empower creators, developers, and brands by allowing them to build “unique integrations, manage their Threads presence at scale, and easily share inspiring content with their communities”.
Key functionalities of the Threads API include the ability to publish posts, fetch content, and manage replies. Users can set reply and quote controls, retrieve replies, and hide, unhide, or respond to specific replies. Additionally, the API provides access to key metrics such as views, likes, replies, reposts, and quotes at both media and account levels. It also offers insights into follower counts and demographics.
To assist developers, Meta has released a Threads API sample app, which serves as a practical guide for understanding the API and troubleshooting issues through a working implementation.

Nice, but now let's see them enable RSS support like Mastodon has.
Far too late. Mastodon has a much friendlier easy to work with api that allows any social media manager to use with their systems without worry of Elon musk style change over or some sudden Facebook api restriction.
Probably just a marketing tactic from Meta that will be pulled out once Threads gains enough popularity.
Remember that Facebook is the most unfriendly social media ever, and Instagram have also now devolved down to that level. Their websites works terribly & has their HTML code all jumbled up to prevent any kind of extensions from working; at the cost of accessibility, even. My copy & pastes from certain elements of Facebook sites are always messed up thanks to this. And Facebook itself have never bothered to create any APIs that are useful enough to be utilized by the community, only now releasing Threads API just to look like they're the good guys.
