Person in charge of Instagram: Threads API is under development
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media users 1520111, Alejandro86 for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com October 28 news, according to foreign media TechCrunch reports, Instagram director Adam Mosseri said that Threads API is under development.
Mosseri expressed concern about publishers releasing a large amount of content, thus casting a shadow over creators' content. "We are working on it. My concern is that this will mean more publisher content, not more creator content, but it still seems to be something we need to do."
CTOnews.com notes that news publications have always relied on third-party tools and integration with different social networks to automatically publish content on platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Because of the lack of API available on new platforms such as Threads, publishers have to publish content manually, which is not ideal for news organizations that publish a large number of articles every day.
While Mosseri is concerned that publishers push a lot of content through API integration, creators also need different tools to publish content in a variety of formats. If there is API integration, it is easier for developers to develop features suitable for the platform.
Zuckerberg said on a quarterly earnings call that Threads still has nearly 100 million monthly active users and reiterated Meta's goal of building Threads into a "public conversation app with 1 billion users."
