This guide shows you how to register your own app with Threads (part of Meta’s developer platform) to obtain your OAuth credentials (client id & secret). These are required to let your users grant your app access to their Threads account.
1

Create a Meta developer app

Go to the Meta for Developers console and create a new app (or use an existing one).
2

Add the Threads use case

In your app’s dashboard, click Create app or select an app you already created, then add the Access the Threads API use case and complete the registration.Navigate to App settings > Basic to find your Threads App ID and Threads App secret. Copy both — you will need them when configuring your app in Nango.
3

Configure the OAuth redirect URI

From your app, click Use cases in the left navbar, click Customize on the Access the Threads API use case, then go to Settings and add the Nango callback URL below to Redirect Callback URLs:https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback
4

Select your scopes

From your app, click Use cases in the left navbar, then click Customize on the Access the Threads API use case.From the Permissions and features tab, you can select additional permissions. threads_basic is already selected for you.

Next

Follow the quickstart to connect your first account.
While your app is in Development mode, only accounts added as an Admin, Developer, or Tester under App roles > Roles can authorize it. If you see the error The user has not accepted the invite to test the app, that account has a pending tester invite it needs to accept before connecting. Submit the app for App Review to make it usable by any account.
