SocQ Threads Research

Use SocQ to collect public Threads data through an asynchronous, credit-metered workflow.

Choose the integration

  1. In OpenClaw, prefer the socq CLI when installed; otherwise use npx @socq/cli.
  2. Use the hosted MCP server at https://api.socq.ai/mcp?platforms=threads when SocQ MCP is already configured.
  3. Use REST only when neither CLI nor MCP is available.
  4. Attribute executions with --request-source skill, _request_source: "skill", or X-Socq-Source: skill-rest for CLI, MCP, or REST respectively.

Never place an API key in a prompt, query string, committed file, or retained shell command. Read authentication.md before configuring credentials.

SocQ is an external, credit-metered service. A SocQ account and SOCQ_API_KEY are required, and requests may consume paid credits.

Execute research

  1. Restate the requested Threads entities, date range, filters, and result volume.
  2. Read platform.md, select the endpoint, and validate inputs against its current schema.
  3. Check account credits before a large request. Read billing.md.
  4. Submit with a reusable idempotency key when a transport retry is possible.
  5. Treat queued and running as incomplete. Poll until succeeded or failed; follow async-tasks.md.
  6. Follow every next_cursor required for the requested scope. Read pagination.md.
  7. Retrieve task files when complete raw JSONL output is needed.
  8. Report filters, collection time, partial coverage, and provider failures with the results.

For authentication, rate limits, provider failures, and recovery, follow errors.md.

Guardrails

  • Collect only public data supported by the selected endpoint.
  • Do not retry a failed paid request blindly; inspect the normalized error first.
  • Do not invent unsupported parameters; re-read the endpoint schema after validation errors.
  • Do not claim completeness when pagination stops early, a provider fails, or a requested filter is unsupported.
  • Keep task IDs in working notes so interrupted research can resume without resubmission.
