# Reddit post lookup by link

Paste a Reddit link and see that post's comments, shares as the platform reports them, with its author and the time it was posted. One lookup is one call: $0.0020 from your own balance, the same price as the API. A failed lookup is not charged.

## Example result

A recorded result, shown so you can see what a lookup returns. (recorded 2026-10-12)

| comments | shares |
| --- | --- |
| 96 | 321 |

Also in the result: caption, title, author, time posted, language.

## What the numbers mean

- Counts: As the platform reports them at the moment of the lookup. A count the platform does not publish for this kind of post is left out of the result, never set to zero.
- Rounded figures: Where a platform only shows a rounded figure, the result marks that field in `approximate`.
- Author and time: The author as the platform names them, and the time the post was made, in UTC.
- One shape: The same fields on every platform, so a video here and a post there read alike in your code.

## Questions

### Why do I need to sign in?

Each lookup is a real call and costs $0.0020. Nothing on this site makes a call for a visitor who is not signed in. Signing in takes an email address, and the lookup then runs on your own balance.

### Which links work?

A link to one Reddit post or video, as the address bar shows it (for example https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/1nnrvkr/), or its ID.

### How fresh are the numbers?

They are fetched from the platform when you run the lookup. The result carries the moment in `meta.fetched_at`.

### Can I look up many at once?

One lookup is one post. From code or from an AI client, call the endpoint once for each post.
