And in a couple years when for some odd reason people have built up content, Facebook will pull the rug out and charge for API access. Tale as old as time.

Just until it's popular enough to pull the rug like Reddit did right? Get fucked Zuck
I'll go ahead and file that under shit I do not care about.
OK
dont care
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Threads plans to release its API by the end of June after testing it with a limited set of partners, including Hootsuite, Sprinklr, Sprout Social, Social News Desk, and Techmeme.
The API will let developers build third-party apps for Threads and allow sites to publish directly to the platform.
The API will let users “authenticate, publish threads, and fetch the content they posted through these tools,” according to Threads developer Jesse Chan in a post on the social platform, with more features coming later.
For years, users have used third-party apps like Hootsuite and Tweetbot to post and interact on social media sites like Twitter or Reddit.
Several of Threads’ competitors, like Bluesky and Mastodon, have embraced third-party apps from the beginning.
For example, after X’s API changes forced Tweetbot to shut down, its creators made Ivory, a Tweetbot-like app for Mastodon.
The original article contains 206 words, the summary contains 142 words. Saved 31%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
In June? JUNE?
