Error scenarios:

Post doesn't exist → empty or malformed response

Rate limited → may return empty data

Auth & browser

Requires browser context. This endpoint scrapes Reddit's HTML response, so an active browser session is needed. Does not require Reddit login for public posts.

Notes

Extracts data from Reddit's Shreddit (React) HTML structure using regex-based parsing
Comment threads are parsed recursively to build nested reply structures
Media attachments (images, videos) are extracted when present in the post
The screenviewcount query parameter is automatically sent with value 1
Rate limiting applies — Reddit may block excessive requests from the same IP
Private communities or logged-in-only posts will return limited or no data without authentication
URL path can be copied directly from a Reddit post URL (everything after reddit.com/)
