MindThread API Quickstart in 5 Minutes

Get Started with MindThread API in 5 Minutes

No dashboard needed. Just a few lines of code, and your AI agent can auto-generate content and publish to Threads.


Prerequisites

1. Sign up for MindThread (free)
2. Connect at least one Threads account
3. Create an API key in Settings


Step 1: Create an API Key

Go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, find "API Keys".

Enter a label (e.g., "My Agent"), click "Create".

You'll get a mt_live_... key — copy it immediately, it's shown only once.

Want to test first? Check "Test key" to get a mt_test_... key. All operations are simulated.

Step 2: Generate Your First Post

Python

``python
import requests

API_KEY = "mt_live_your_key"
BASE = "https://mindthread.tw/api/v1"

r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/content/generate",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"},
json={"topic": "remote work productivity tips", "formula": "auto"}
)

data = r.json()
print(data["content"])
print(data["formula"])
`

JavaScript

`javascript
const res = await fetch("https://mindthread.tw/api/v1/content/generate", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer mt_live_your_key",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({ topic: "remote work tips", formula: "auto" })
});
console.log(await res.json());
`


Step 3: Generate + Publish Instantly

`python
r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/content/generate-and-schedule",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"},
json={"topic": "AI automation", "formula": "curiosity_hook", "publish_now": True}
)
print(r.json()["post_id"])
`
