From a response recorded 2026-10-12 19:17 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up.

Size as sent: 1.5 KB in the standard view (913 B compact, 1.5 KB full).

This example as a JSON file

curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/threads/posts/get" \
  --data-urlencode "id=Dc3vb5DES3i" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"

from dataxapi import DataXAPI

dx = DataXAPI()  # reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
result = dx.threads.posts.get(id="Dc3vb5DES3i")
print(result["data"]["item"])

import { DataXAPI } from "@dataxapi/sdk";

const dx = new DataXAPI(); // reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
const result = await dx.threads.posts.get({ id: "Dc3vb5DES3i" });
console.log(result.data.item);

dataxapi call threads.posts.get id=Dc3vb5DES3i

Parameters:
- id: Post code: the last segment of the post's link. Example: Dc3vb5DES3i.
- url: Link to the post, written threads.com/@handle/post/code or threads.com/t/code. Example: https://www.threads.com/t/Dc3vb5DES3i. Full link: https://www.threads.com/t/Dc3vb5DES3i.
- view: How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: compact, standard (default), full.
- fields: Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as author.name.
