Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Threads endpoint as a live-data API. The platform keeps the documented request and response shape stable while unifying auth, request tracking, and credits billing.

Searches Threads for posts matching a keyword, returning up to 10 results with caption text, like_count, reshare_count, direct_reply_count, user info, and image_versions2. Supports optional start_date and end_date filters plus a trim option. Only 10 results are returned per request due to public API limitations.

Required params: query.
