Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split')

[Colin-Moran]

`import pkg from 'threads-api'; const { ThreadsAPI } = pkg;

const main = async () => { const threadsAPI = new ThreadsAPI({ username: 'username', // Your username password: 'password', // Your password });

await threadsAPI.publish('🤖 Hello World'); };

main();`

When attempting to use the publish function I receive this error:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split') at i.

Does anyone know a solution?

This is the first Threads scraper code. This requires no login . I think this will help someone.

Does anyone know a solution?

Did you change 'username' and 'password'?

1. If I had to guess, neither your Instagram nor your Threads account should be private.
2. It also doesn't work if you have Instagram's secondary security enabled.
3. Check the status of your account's security measures on Instagram.

@Colin-Moran Will start taking a look, sorry I was busy today. Thanks for filing an issue! Can you check the requirements/possible cases that @Mineru98 mentioned?

@iamdeepak92 Nice work! Glad to see you building, but please don't spam to all unrelated issues. 🙏

I feel silly. I had changed the username and password but after double checking everything I realized I was using an incorrect password for the account I was trying to log in to.

After resolving that, everything is working as expected! Thanks to both of you for the helpful responses.
