}Daily timeline
Day by day cumulative metrics per subject. Optional from and to bound the inclusive UTC date range. The default window covers the last 366 days.
const { timeline } = await analyticsApi.getAnalyticsTimeline({
post: postId,
from: "2026-08-01",
to: "2026-08-28",
});
// timeline.subjects[].points[].day, metrics, deltaEach metrics object holds cumulative totals as captured on that UTC day. delta compares them against the previous stored day. A delta entry stays null when either side has no value. Days without a stored snapshot have no data. The API does not backfill them.
Outside posts
Posts published outside Onepostly work the same way once they are synced. Sync by URL then read analytics with the native id plus accountId. Omit url and postId to refresh the recent posts of the account in bulk.
const { found, post } = await posts.syncExternal({
syncExternalBody: { accountId, url: "https://www.threads.com/@you/post/DbNQAb8ABC1" },
});
if (!found || !post) throw new Error("Post not found on the account.");
const { analytics } = await analyticsApi.getAnalytics({
post: post.externalPostId,
accountId,
});Normalized fields
