Add Threads support to the bots #494

They still don't have an API, but when they do we should get on top of it. Their developers occasionally mention that they're working on an API and I've requested beta access, but they've ignored me.

They seem to have released a beta API and documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/

Downside is it seems to be geared more around "I have an app that will post things on behalf of users" and not "I am a user that wants to automate my posts." It definitely looks doable, but there would be extra hoops to jump through (register as an Instagram app, etc.).

Sounds like Twitter. About time they launch the API. Anything you have to do to join it?

mlissner commented 4 months ago

Looks like there's a sign up on the blog post, so I did it.

I mentioned to https://github.com/freelawproject/crm/issues/87 that we'd probably do this soon.

TheCleric commented 3 weeks ago

I can't see that issue, but could be available to help out since it's an area of the bot I'm pretty familiar with now.

mlissner commented 3 weeks ago

Sorry, yeah, that issue is to our internal CRM, I just wanted these to be cross-linked.

It'd be great if you wanted to take a stab at this!

TheCleric commented 3 weeks ago

@mlissner do we have some threads credentials to use for testing/development?

mlissner commented 3 weeks ago

Actually, no, not yet. Do you think you could make a tasting account?

TheCleric commented 3 weeks ago

Sure let me give that a try.
