Reddit Post API returns one post by id. post has the full post shape. gallery lists the images in the order the author set. video has the playable URL, the HLS and DASH URLs, size, duration and whether the video has sound. crosspost_parent names the original post of a crosspost. duplicates lists up to 25 other posts of the same link.
Comments of a post are not part of this API.
Each post has id, fullname, title, selftext (null for link posts), author, subreddit, score, upvote_ratio, num_comments, awards, flair, created_at and created_utc, permalink, url, domain, post_type (text, link, image, gallery, video or crosspost), the flags over_18, spoiler, stickied, locked and archived, removed_by_category, thumbnail_url, gallery, video and crosspost_parent. Deleted authors and removed posts show Reddit's own marker such as [deleted].
