API overview
Welcome to the ThreadzSocial public API. This guide gets you from zero to a successful authenticated request — then points you to listings, closets, sandbox rules, and go-live.
What you can do
- Read the marketplace — list and fetch live listings, open public closets (no key required for public GETs).
- Prove identity —
GET /mewith a Bearer API key. - Manage inventory — create, update, and archive your listings (
POST/PATCH/DELETE). Sandbox first; production after milestones.
Base URL
Production API base (all examples use this host):
https://www.threadzsocial.com/api/v1
For local Next.js: use http://localhost:3000/api/v1 with the same paths.
Response envelope
Every successful response looks like:
{
"data": { },
"meta": { "version": "v1" }
}Errors always look like:
{
"error": {
"code": "validation_error",
"message": "Human-readable explanation",
"details": { }
}
}Full code table: Errors.
Quickstart
- Create a ThreadzSocial account.
- Register an app on /developers/apps and accept the API Terms.
- Create a sandbox key on that app. Copy it once — we only show the full secret at creation.
- Hit health, then
/me, then create a sandbox listing.
1. Health (no key)
curl -sS https://www.threadzsocial.com/api/v1/health2. Authenticated me
curl -sS \
-H "Authorization: Bearer stz_sandbox_YOUR_KEY" \
https://www.threadzsocial.com/api/v1/me3. Browse live listings (public)
curl -sS "https://www.threadzsocial.com/api/v1/listings?limit=5"Sandbox vs Discover
Sandbox keys only create and manage sandbox listings. Those items never appear on public Discover. Anonymous listing GETs return live data only; a sandbox Bearer on GET /listings returns your sandbox inventory. Details: Sandbox.
Auth at a glance

Rate limits
Soft limits (headers when auth middleware runs): anonymous ≈ 120 req/min, keyed ≈ 600 req/min. Exceeding returns 429 rate_limited. Limits may tighten in production.
