Threads + Foldr Integration
Threads is Meta's Twitter competitor integrated with Instagram. Drop Foldr short links in Threads posts for downloadable content — the Threads API is maturing but lean.
How to Connect Threads to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with Threads

Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls Threads, processes the result, and POSTs to https://foldr.space/api/v1/files (or /links for short links).
Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.

Is there an official Foldr app for Threads?
