Threads: posting rules and settings
What a Threads channel accepts in Postemi: media, limits, required fields, and the fields of the settings object for the API.
Basics
threadsPost types
The same channel accepts more than one kind of post, and each kind has different requirements. The table shows what you need for each.
| Type | Media | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text | none | No extra notes. |
| Image | 1 or more images | No extra notes. |
| Thread | each part has its own | Same as on X: the remaining items in the value array are attached below it. |
Rules
- Threads has no platform-specific settings. The __type field is enough in the settings object.
- You write a thread as extra parts of the post, the same way as on X.
Settings fields
The settings object only needs the __type field. The editor does not show a separate settings section for this channel.
Examples
Each example is one item in the POST /public/v1/posts request's posts array. The envelope around it is always this:
{
"type": "schedule",
"date": "2026-09-15T09:00:00.000Z",
"shortLink": false,
"posts": [ /* the item below */ ]
}Text post
The settings object only needs the __type field.
{
"integration": { "id": "<threads-channel>" },
"value": [{ "content": "<p>A short thought on the week.</p>", "image": [] }],
"settings": { "__type": "threads" }
}Thread
{
"integration": { "id": "<threads-channel>" },
"value": [
{ "content": "<p>Part one.</p>", "image": [] },
{ "content": "<p>Part two.</p>", "image": [], "delay": 1 }
],
"settings": { "__type": "threads" }
}The channel ID comes from the channel list, and the path values for images and videos from media upload. The exact schema for the connected account comes from the settings schema endpoint. From the command line, the same thing is the --settings flag. See the CLI examples.
