What is threads-affiliate?

Threads Affiliate Poster ID is a Python toolkit that automates posting affiliate marketing content, written in Indonesian, to the Threads social network. It is built for people promoting products from Shopee, Lazada, or Tokopedia in categories like skincare, perfume, haircare, and makeup, and it handles the repetitive parts of running many posts a day. Before the automation can run, a person has to do some setup by hand: creating a real, human-looking Instagram and Threads account and warming it up with a few manual posts, signing up for the Shopee affiliate program and waiting for approval, building a list of affiliate links in a simple Markdown table, and extracting the browser session cookies the tool needs to act as if it were logged in. Once that groundwork is done, the tool picks an unused affiliate link from the database, chooses a product category and a writing style while avoiding repeating the same category or style used in the last couple of posts, fills in a post using one of many prewritten hook templates, checks that the new post is not too similar in wording to the last several posts, and then uses the Playwright browser automation library to actually log in and publish the post. Posts can be run one at a time from the command line or scheduled automatically at set times of day, similar to a cron job. The project describes these repetition checks and category rotation as anti-spam measures meant to keep the posting pattern looking natural rather than mechanical. Affiliate links and session cookies are meant to be stored locally, not committed to the repository. The project includes documentation aimed specifically at AI coding agents, describing setup steps and canonical workflows for automating it further. It requires Python 3.10 or newer and is released under the MIT license, meaning it can be freely used, modified, and redistributed.
