Thanks for reporting this :)

Please help by answering below questions:

• Which version of threads-api are you using?
• What is the post_url you entered? Is it valid?

I am in the works of implementing proper logging and error handling, so it will be easier to troubleshoot these issues.

You can use my way to get the Post Numeral ID from URL / Post code. It will be faster and does not include login or opening any Threads Page as parsing Source and finding value via Regex may not be such an effective way, and a small change from Threads can break it.

I made a function to generate postid from url or shortcode, make it better:

def get_post_id(url_or_shortcode):
    if "https://" in url_or_shortcode and "/@" in url_or_shortcode:
        raise "the argument passed is not a valid post URL"
    elif "https://" in url_or_shortcode and "/t" in url_or_shortcode:
        shortcode = url_or_shortcode.split("/t/")[-1].split("/")[0]
    elif len(url_or_shortcode) == 11:
        shortcode = url_or_shortcode
    alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-_"
    id = 0
    for char in shortcode:
        id = (id * 64) + alphabet.index(char)
    return str(id)

Fixed in v1.1.4. Thanks @1Mr-Newton for the implementation, I have used it and it's 🔥
