Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Reddit endpoint as a live-data API. The platform keeps the documented request and response shape stable while unifying auth, request tracking, and credits billing.

Retrieves comments and post details from a Reddit post by URL. Returns the post with title, author, score, ups, upvote_ratio, num_comments, and created_utc, plus a comments array where each comment includes author, body, body_html, score, created_utc, parent_id, permalink, and nested replies. Supports cursor-based pagination for loading more comments and a trim parameter for lighter responses.
