Why not pass it in through the constructor and append it inside?
$customArray = ['append' => 'this array with key'];
return new ThreadResource($thread, $customArray);

Merge array to api resource outside of class
In api resources, How can i append a array outside of resource class ? for example:

public function show(Thread $thread)
{
$customArray = ['append' => 'this array with key'];
return new ThreadResource($thread);
}
}

Add this to the resource, and you can merge it in the toArray method
public function __construct($resource, $custom)
{
$this->resource = $resource;
$this->custom = $custom;
}

Try this then
return array_merge((new ThreadResource($thread))->toArray(request()), $customArray) ;
