Retrieve Threads Profiles

Retrieve a Threads User's Profile Information

Use the GET /{threads-user-id}?fields=id,username,... endpoint to return profile information about a Threads user.

Permissions

The Threads Profile API requires an appropriate access token and permissions based on the node you are targeting. While you are testing, you can easily generate tokens and grant your app permissions by using the Graph API Explorer.

You may only fetch the profile of the app-scoped user.
