Analytics

Analytics and normalized metrics for Threads posts.

Read performance metrics for a published Threads post. Requires threads_manage_insights on the connection. Pass post as described in Analytics. Use the internal id for Onepostly posts. Use the native post id plus accountId for outside posts.

Request

import { Configuration, AnalyticsApi } from "@onepostly/sdk";

const analyticsApi = new AnalyticsApi(
  new Configuration({ apiKey: process.env.ONEPOSTLY_API_KEY }),
);

const { analytics } = await analyticsApi.getAnalytics({ post: postId });
console.log(analytics.subjects);

Response

  }
}

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, delta

Each 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,
});
