get_post_details
Fetch Reddit posts with comments using URL or post ID, including options for comment limits, sorting, and link extraction to analyze discussions.
Instructions
Fetch a Reddit post with its comments. Requires EITHER url OR post_id. IMPORTANT: When using post_id alone, an extra API call is made to fetch the subreddit first (2 calls total). For better efficiency, always provide the subreddit parameter when known (1 call total).
