Are threads.net and threads.com both accepted?

Yes. Meta serves the network on two domains and both resolve to the same post, so you can pass whichever the user copied.

Do image posts work, or only video?

Both. Attached images come back as image entries and video as a video entry, in the same medias[] array.

Is a reply different from a top-level post?

No. A reply has its own post URL and resolves the same way, with its own attached media.

Threads Downloader API

Threads posts resolve to their attached video and images. Meta serves the network on two domains and both are accepted, so you do not have to normalise threads.net against threads.com yourself.
