Error when publishing a single-thread post with video through Threads API
I am trying to post a video through the Threads API in a single-thread post.
I upload the video to a public URL, using Vercel Blob, and I have verified that the video is there.
I use the POST /{threads-user-id}/threads endpoint to create a media container successfully.
When I use the POST /{threads-user-id}/threads_publish endpoint to publish the container, I get an error, stating: "The media with id {container-id} cannot be found."
The Threads API Troubleshooting page says: "If you are able to create a container for a video but the POST /{threads-user-id}/threads_publish endpoint does not return the published media ID, then you can get the container's publishing status by querying the GET /{threads-container-id} endpoint. ... We recommend querying a container's status once per minute, for no more than 5 minutes."
So I waited for 60 seconds and then queried the GET /{threads-container-id} endpoint, but it returns the following error:
{
status: 'ERROR',
error_message: 'UNKNOWN',
id: '{threads-container-id}'
}
The same code successfully publishes a single-thread post with an image (using the image_url parameter instead of video_url, of course).
I have also verified that the video conforms to Threads' Video Specifications (screenshot attached).
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Michael
In case this is helpful for debugging, the video is here:
https://fku5s5wau2ccuoic.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb-oGIYmQAizGohakMaHorTkdCRVDlfFE.mp4
The container ID is: 17943515876730115
The fbtrace_id from the error returned by the POST /{threads-user-id}/threads_publish endpoint is: AG2eghOPVxr2j4Lu43oWMD9
I’m also facing the same issue. There’s no specific error returned when supplying the video_url. The media container creates and returns an id. The troubleshootingu steps gives no specific error why, just returns UNKNOWN.
facing the same issue, the documentation does not provide any context regarding the unknows error
Same issue with me as well. I just can't guess the error for the issue. Media container is getting created fine and status is 'FINISHED'. The status changes after I execute the threads_publish api and throws the error below. { "error": { "message": "An unknown error occurred", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 1, "error_data": "Video transcode has failed", "error_subcode": 2207032, "is_transient": false, "error_user_title": "Cannot Create Media", "error_user_msg": "Create media fail, please try to re-create media", "fbtrace_id": "AUVpbxMfZgmc-o9Mq400ygd" } }
Any guess what is the issue?
