  2. Instantiate and Call:

    # Create an instance
    poster = ThreadsPost()
    
    # Prepare your post_data
    post_data = {
        "accessToken": "<your_access_token>",
        "userId": "<threads_username>",
        "mainPost": {
            "content": "Hello, Threads!",
            "media": ["<image_or_video_url>"]

  3. Check Logs:
    The module prints out status information (e.g., container IDs, creation times) which you can log or debug.


Example

Here’s a minimal code example that uses ThreadsPost:

from threads_post import ThreadsPost

def main():
    # Replace these with your own valid access token, user ID, etc.
    post_data = {
        "accessToken": "YOUR_LONG_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "userId": "your_threads_username",
        "mainPost": {
            "content": "My first Threads Post via the API!",
            "media": []
        },
        # Optional: Replies
        "replyPost": [
            {
                "content": "This is a reply to my post",
                "media": []
            }
        ]
    }

    # Create a ThreadsPost instance and make the post
    poster = ThreadsPost()
    poster.post(post_data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
  1. Run the above script (python main.py).
  2. Observe the console output for created container IDs, published post IDs, etc.
