## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | 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; it is not a global comment search. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| 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 | platform-native 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 | platform-native meaning |
| domain | platform-native meaning |
| external_link | platform-native 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). |
