THREADS API PLANS

Start from your usage, then pick your credits.

Every plan includes every API endpoint; the only difference is the monthly credit allowance. Credits are valid for one month from purchase, and unused credits don't roll over.

Credit top-ups

On API Standard and above, you can buy extra credits anytime as a one-off purchase at your plan's rate. Top-up credits only last for the current billing cycle: they reset when it ends, don't roll over and aren't refundable.

  • API Standard

    US$10/ 10,000 credits

  • API Plus

    US$5/ 10,000 credits

  • API Premium

    US$4/ 10,000 credits

API access has no free tier. If you need more, move up a plan or buy a one-off top-up at your plan's rate.

How credits work

TWO WAYS TO PAY

Using the app and building with the API are separate plans.

If you work in the Throk web app, subscribe to a web plan. If you're pulling the data into your own code or AI agent, use the developer API. Each is billed separately, with its own credits.

Web app plans

Work inside Throk

Trending boards, viral-post search, ladders and AI writing in one workspace. Free includes 100 credits a day: just sign in.

  • Free / Creator / Creator+
  • Self-serve at app.throk.ai

Developer API

Bring the data into your code

Connect Threads data to Claude, Cursor or your own service over MCP or REST. No free tier; plans are priced by monthly credits.

  • API Lite to Premium
  • Sign up at developer.throk.ai
  • Credits are for API calls

Credits don't carry across

Web plan credits can't be spent on API calls, and API credits can't be used in the web app. Each side is billed and expires on its own, so sign up for whichever one you need.

HOW TO CONNECT

MCP or REST

MCP for agents, REST for services.

01 · THROK MCP

MCP server

Connect Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client with one command.

02 · REST API

REST API

Or call REST directly

Throk MCP and the REST API share the same Threads API plan and monthly credits.

FAQ

Are API credits the same as Throk subscription credits?
No. The developer platform has its own API plans and credits, completely separate from the Free / Creator / Creator+ web plans, and the two can't be mixed. You subscribe to an API plan in the developer console.
Is there a free tier? How is it priced?
API access has no free tier. Plans differ by monthly credits, from API Lite (15,000 credits/month) to Premium (6,000,000 credits/month). Pick one in the developer console.
When do credits expire?
Credits are valid for one month from purchase, and unused credits don't roll over. If you need more, upgrade or buy a one-off top-up at your plan's rate (API Standard US$10, Plus US$5, Premium US$4 per 10,000 credits). Top-ups reset when the current billing cycle ends.
MCP or REST? Which clients are supported?
Use MCP when an AI agent will do the work: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and other clients connect with one command. Use REST to call it straight from your own service. Every feature is available through both.
