Script or API

Script or API gives your own script, server or workflow a token and the access the owner chooses. Pick what to build below, then add your first note step by step.

Quickstart

You will check a token, find a thread, add a note and read its receipt. Each step shows curl, JavaScript and Python. curl examples are for bash; on Windows use WSL or Git Bash.

Step 0: Check your plan

With Free, a connection can only add notes to your Inbox: use POST /inbox/notes. Writing to a thread answers 403 pro_required. Apart from GET /connection and GET /operations/{operation_id}, everything else on these pages needs Pro with Sync turned on.

Step 1: Create a connection

In ThreadPage, open Settings → Connections, go to Automations and choose Connect an automation → Script or API. Enter a Name, choose what it can do and which threads and folders it can use, then choose Connect. Choose Copy token and keep it in a secret store: it is shown once.

For this quickstart, Add only with one selected thread is enough. On Free, the connection has Add to Inbox. Access levels explains each level.

Step 2: Check the token

Put the token in an environment variable, then ask the API which connection it belongs to. The JavaScript and Python steps use the call helper of the whole flow.

Shell

export THREADPAGE_TOKEN=tp_your_token
API=https://thread.page/api/integrations/v1

curl -sS -m 30 "$API/connection" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $THREADPAGE_TOKEN" | tee connection.json | jq .

const connection = await call('GET', '/connection');
console.log(connection.level, connection.permissions, connection.expires_at);

connection = call("GET", "/connection")
print(connection["level"], connection["permissions"], connection["expires_at"])

The answer says what the token may do and when it stops working:

JSON

{
  "id": "6b1d0f4e-2c8a-4e57-9a3b-1f0c7d2e5a94",
  "name": "Release bot",
  "level": "append",
  "can": "Add notes to threads you choose and see those threads’ titles.",
  "cannot": "Can’t read notes.",
  "access": {
    "version": 3,
    "level": "append",
    "scope": "selected",
    "folder_ids": [],
    "thread_ids": ["0e7c4b2a-91d3-4f6e-8a25-3c1b9d7f4e60"],
    "excluded_folder_ids": [],
    "excluded_thread_ids": []
  },
  "permissions": {
    "read": false,
    "create_notes": true,
    "add_to_inbox": true,
    "edit_notes": "none",
    "organize": false
  },
  "manage_url": "https://thread.page/app/settings/connections/6b1d0f4e-2c8a-4e57-9a3b-1f0c7d2e5a94?access=read_add",
  "shared_places": [],
  "expires_at": "2027-01-29T09:30:00Z"
}

If permissions.create_notes is false and permissions.add_to_inbox is true, this connection adds notes only to the Inbox: skip to step 4 and use POST /inbox/notes.

Step 3: Find a thread

List the threads the connection can see, or copy the ID from the thread’s address in your browser: the part after threads/. The examples use the only thread the connection sees, and otherwise ask you to set THREAD_ID.

curl -sS -m 30 "$API/threads?limit=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $THREADPAGE_TOKEN" | tee threads.json | jq -r '.items[] | "\(.id)  \(.title)"'

const { items } = await call('GET', '/threads?limit=50');
for (const thread of items) console.log(thread.id, thread.title);

threads = call("GET", "/threads?limit=50")["items"]
for thread in threads:
    print(thread["id"], thread["title"])

Step 4: Add a note

Create one Operation-Id before the request and send the same one on every retry. A retry with the same ID returns the same receipt instead of a second note.

With Pro and Sync, add the note to the thread:

OP=$(uuidgen)
curl -sS -m 30 --retry 3 --retry-all-errors "$API/threads/$THREAD_ID/notes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $THREADPAGE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Operation-Id: $OP" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": {"markdown": "**Build 412** passed.\n\nDeployed to staging."}}' | jq .

operationId = randomUUID(); // one ID for this note, the same on every retry
const receipt = await call('POST', `/threads/${threadId}/notes`, {
  operationId,
  body: { content: { markdown: '**Build 412** passed.\n\nDeployed to staging.' } },
});
console.log(receipt.status, receipt.url);

operation_id = str(uuid.uuid4())  # one ID for this note, the same on every retry
receipt = call(
    "POST",
    f"/threads/{thread_id}/notes",
    {"content": {"markdown": "**Build 412** passed.\n\nDeployed to staging."}},
    operation_id,
)
print(receipt["status"], receipt["url"])

JSON

{
  "operation_id": "8a6e0804-2bd0-4672-b79d-d97027f9071a",
  "status": "accepted",
  "note_id": "4c2f8e19-7a6b-4d3e-b1c0-95e8f2a7d364",
  "revision": 1,
  "accepted_at": "2026-10-31T09:30:00Z",
  "url": "https://thread.page/app/notes/4c2f8e19-7a6b-4d3e-b1c0-95e8f2a7d364"
}

With Free, add it to the Inbox:

OP=$(uuidgen)
curl -sS -m 30 --retry 3 --retry-all-errors "$API/inbox/notes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $THREADPAGE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Operation-Id: $OP" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": {"text": "Build 412 passed."}}' | jq .

operationId = randomUUID();
const receipt = await call('POST', '/inbox/notes', {
  operationId,
  body: { content: { text: 'Build 412 passed.' } },
});
console.log(receipt.status, receipt.delivery, receipt.url); // url is null while the note waits

operation_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
receipt = call("POST", "/inbox/notes", {"content": {"text": "Build 412 passed."}}, operation_id)
print(receipt["status"], receipt["delivery"], receipt["url"])  # url is None while the note waits

JSON

{
  "operation_id": "3f2c1d0e-9b8a-4c7d-8e6f-5a4b3c2d1e0f",
  "status": "accepted",
  "note_id": "a91e5c37-2b4d-4f80-9c6e-7d3a1b0f5e28",
  "delivery": "inbox",
  "accepted_at": "2026-10-31T09:30:00Z",
  "url": null
}

"delivery": "inbox" means the note waits for the browser that collects your Inbox, and it appears there when ThreadPage is open. With Pro and Sync the receipt says "account" and has the note’s url.

Step 5: Read the receipt

If the answer to step 4 got lost, read the receipt instead of writing again:

curl -sS -m 30 "$API/operations/$OP" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $THREADPAGE_TOKEN" | jq .

console.log(await call('GET', `/operations/${operationId}`));

print(call("GET", f"/operations/{operation_id}"))

It answers the receipt from step 4. A 404 unavailable means the write never reached ThreadPage: send it again with the same Operation-Id.

Code	HTTP	When	What to do	Retryable
`authentication_required`	401	No token was sent.	Send Authorization: Bearer tp_….	No
`invalid_token`	401	The token is wrong, revoked or replaced, or it was retired: the owner changed their password, or reset or restored the workspace. /mcp also answers it for a token that only answers its connection's requests.	Ask the owner for a new token.	No

Test without touching your notes

Create a separate connection that reaches one test thread or folder instead of All threads.
GET /events/sample shows the shape of real events. A Test event reaches your Note updates URL signed like any event, with data.test set to true. Test request on a script that receives requests, or Send test on a Send notes you @ to a URL connection, sends a request without a note.
Undo changes… in the connection’s details undoes its changes, and can move what it added to Trash. Restore from Trash… brings back what it moved to Trash.
