Developer API Launched by Meta's Threads

Tuesday saw the release of Meta's eagerly anticipated Threads API (Application Programming Interface), allowing developers to create applications centered on it. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and founder of Meta, also posted about the development on Threads. "The Threads API is now widely available, and coming to more of you soon," he stated.

Jesse Chen, an engineer at Threads, says that the new API will let developers publish articles, retrieve their own material, and implement reply management features. This means that developers may let users react to particular answers or conceal or reveal specific replies.

The business also stated in a blog post that developers would be able to access statistics including metrics like the quantity of views, likes, comments, reposts, and quotations at the account and media level.

Threads launched its own fact-checking mechanism last month to rank misleading information on the network. In a thread on Threads, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri revealed this new development.

A 7% year-over-year growth in family daily active persons (DAP) has been observed across Meta's applications, and Threads has seen a rise in monthly active users from 130 million in February to over 150 million.
