## Create a thread via API

To create a Twitter thread in a single API call, put the first tweet in `content.text` and add the rest of the thread in `content.additionalPosts[]`. Blotato handles reply chaining -- you do not need to capture tweet IDs.

Each entry in `additionalPosts` has its own `text` and `mediaUrls` fields.

See the full payload example in the [API Quickstart](https://help.blotato.com/api/start#post-a-twitter-thread-with-multiple-posts) or the [Publish Post reference](https://help.blotato.com/api/api-reference/publish-post#6.-twitter-thread).

Threads also work for Bluesky and Threads using the same `additionalPosts` field.

For an automated thread workflow (email yourself an idea, AI writes the thread, Blotato posts it), see: [Email to Long Form Thread](https://help.blotato.com/api/templates/2-email-to-long-form-thread)
