Open a single Reddit post from its link. Read the title, body, author, subreddit and like and comment counts. Comments are not included. Fetch them with comments and the same url.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to reddit and action set to post_detail. Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.
AI prompt
#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Reddit Post details endpoint (reddit/post_detail).
How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to reddit and action to post_detail, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- url: Specifies the target post URL for post_detail and comments, typically containing /r/subreddit/comments/post_id/. For comments, this retrieves comments and up to five levels of nested replies for that specific post.
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, title, text, author_username, community, like_count, comment_count, posted_at, flair, domain, external_link; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=reddit.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "reddit",
"action": "post_detail",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/AskUS/comments/1uzedcq/is_coffee_really_a_daily_ritual_for_most_americans/"
}
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.
Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.Request parameters

Response fields
#Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
community | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
flair | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
domain | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
external_link | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
thumbnail_url | Thumbnail link, lower resolution than image_url. |
image_urls | Array of image links in the platform's display order; absent when there are no images. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

- Reddit: Post Interaction Counts vs. Author Karma ↗
Reddit describes karma as an approximate reflection of votes received on posts and comments, explicitly stating that upvotes and karma do not map one-to-one. This endpoint lacks an author karma field and does not convert like_count or single-post interaction tallies into account karma.
