Per connected Threads account, shared by every AI app and API key that uses it.Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC, weekly ones on Monday 00:00 UTC.Listing and canceling scheduled posts happen in Pluggzy and cost no Threads call.

Post rules

What Threads accepts, checked before anything is sent so a bad post costs nothing.

TextUp to 500 characters, in text.
MediaOptional: up to 10 images (image_urls) or one video (video_url), not both. Files on your device go through upload_media first.

Safety limits

What keeps your Threads account in good standing. They apply across every AI app and API key on this account, and you can’t turn them off.

Pace
2–5 s
Random gap between Threads actions, across every app and key on this account.
No double posts
10 min
The same post on the same account within 10 minutes replays the first answer instead of publishing twice.
Cooldown on pushback
5 min
After a rate-limit answer the account rests at least 5 minutes, 30 when Threads itself asked. Calls meanwhile get the time left.
Scheduling window
1 year
publish_at is at least a minute ahead, at most a year. Links must keep working until then; uploads are kept with the post.
Checked first
Free
Text, title and media are checked against Threads’s rules before the call: a post it would refuse costs nothing.
Account-wide cap
10 / min
At most 10 calls a minute per account in total, reads aside, on top of each action’s own per-minute cap.

When a limit is hit

Nothing is queued or retried behind your back: the tool answers with an error your AI app can read, explain and retry on time.

invalid_postThe post breaks a Threads rule. The message says which.
gapToo soon after the last action. Wait retry_after_seconds.
limitThe daily or weekly limit is used up. Says when it resets.
cooldownThreads pushed back; the account is resting.
permissionThis app wasn’t allowed to do that. Reconnect and allow it.
Example refusalisError
{
  "error": "Threads actions are spaced 2–5 s apart, at random, to look human. Wait 2s.",
  "code": "gap",
  "retry_after_seconds": 2
}

Analytics

What get_insights reads on Threads. Ask in plain words; your AI app picks the report.

Every network →
Overviewoverview defaultViews, reach, engagement and followers over the last days, in the network’s own terms plus a headline every network shares. Without account, every analytics account side by side.
Top poststop_posts Your best posts of the period, ranked by engagement or by sort (views, reach, likes, comments, shares, date). Without account, across every analytics account.
Best time to posttiming The weekday and hour slots that work best for your own posts (in UTC), how often you post against the engagement you get, and how fast posts peak. Instagram: when your followers are online.
One postpost One post’s figures, by the post_id from list_posts, top posts or create_post. details: true adds its day-by-day curve and the network’s extras.
Threads: figures come from its posts, not from the account.

Tools

Threads has no tools of its own: it uses the shared posting tools, which work on every posting channel. This page shows only the fields Threads reads.

create_postPublish or schedule a post · PostsPosts · 25/dayWrite

Publish a post on one connected account, right away or at publish_at (then it's scheduled: returns a scheduled_post_id for list_scheduled_posts and cancel_scheduled_post). Threads: text ≤500, up to 10 images or 1 video. Call post_options first for an account you haven't posted to in this conversation. Media: media_ids from upload_media (files the user has, or one you made), or public https links (image_urls, video_url); for a scheduled post, links must keep working until publish_at, uploads are kept with the post. Public and irreversible: confirm the account, final text, media, audience and time (with the user's time zone) with the user first.

upload_mediaGet a link to upload an image, video or document · No callNo Threads callWrite

Returns a link where the user uploads an image, a video or a document from their device, and the media_id to pass to create_post (media_ids), comment or a message (send_message, start_chat: media_id). Use it when the user wants a photo, video or document (a PDF, say) in a post or message and it isn't already online: files attached in the chat can't reach Pluggzy, so ask them to upload it here. If you made the file yourself in a sandbox or terminal with internet access, upload it yourself with the upload_command it returns. Images: JPEG, PNG or WebP, at most 8 MB. Videos: MP4, MOV or WebM, at most 5 GB on the page (upload_command sends at most 100 MB), for create_post on publishing accounts only (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook posts, comments and messages take images). Documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint (docx, xlsx, pptx, doc, xls, ppt), TXT or CSV, at most 15 MB) for send_message and start_chat only. Each link takes one file: for another one (each image of a carousel, say), call upload_media again. The file can be used for 24 hours, in as many posts and messages as needed; a scheduled post keeps its own copy until it goes out.

Not every network has every report (followers: Instagram Business, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest; audience: Instagram Business, TikTok, YouTube; inbox: Instagram Business; search_keywords: Google Business Profile). LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram and the personal Instagram and Facebook logins have no insights here. Read-only.
