Veezee

Reddit URL resolver 2 credits

Classify any reddit.com or redd.it URL, share links, old.reddit.com, mobile forms, as a subreddit, user, post, or comment, and get the exact identifier the other Reddit endpoints need: t3_ ids for posts, t1_ for comments, names for subreddits and users. It parses offline without fetching the page.

It costs 2 credits. Skip it when you already hold an id or name: the other tools accept those directly.

FAQ#

What do I do with each result type?

post goes to the Reddit thread API; comment to the same call's comment_id; subreddit and user to their fetch endpoints.

What happens with non-Reddit URLs?

INVALID_INPUT, stating the URL isn't Reddit.

Does it hit Reddit at all?

No: the parse is offline, which is why it's the cheapest Reddit call.
