Threads Profile API

Threads profile — displayName, private/isPrivate, bioLinks (Meta verified), isThreadsOnlyUser, transparencyLabel, bioFragments, HD avatars (1 credit).

Canonical core: platform, id, handle, url, displayName, bio, avatar, followers, verified — plus deprecated username/name/profileImage aliases for one release. Also: isThreadsOnlyUser (Threads-only vs Instagram-linked — pair with Instagram fbid for an IG↔FB↔Threads identity chain when Meta exposes it), private/isPrivate, bioLinks[] ({url, verified, linkId} — verified means Meta confirmed the bio link), bioFragments[] (parsed plaintext/link/mention/tag pieces from text_app_biography), transparencyLabel (state-affiliated media etc.), profileImageVersions[] ({url,width,height}), and hasOnboarded. Flat 1 credit. following and post counts are not publicly exposed on this surface.
