Send a GET request to /v1/bluesky/post with the post's bsky.app URL — for example https://bsky.app/profile/espn.com/post/3lqdfq7fkvm2g. SocialCrawl returns the post text, author, embeds, engagement counts, and a threaded replies array in one JSON payload.

The response includes the record text, author info, embeds (images, external links, quoted posts), replyCount, repostCount, likeCount, quoteCount, and a replies array that preserves the thread structure under the post.
