Prism Comment Lookup API
Scrape Prism Comment Lookup data with one API call. Batch version of the single-comment lookup, built for recurring brand-comment tracking. Pass up to 25 items, each either `{ comment_url }` or `{ platform, post_url, comment_id }` (plus optional `parent_comment_id`, `position_hint`, `deep_scan`). Every item resolves independently — one bad item never fails the batch — and returns a `status` of `found`, `not_found`, `error`, or `deferred`. Billing is per item (TikTok 2 credits, Instagram 5 credits; deep_scan raises it); only `found` items are charged, everything else is refunded, and the whole batch holds at most 100 credits. Store each returned `lookup.position_hint` and pass it back on the next run so a daily refresh of your tracked comments costs ~1-2 credits per item. Returns sync JSON, or a typed SSE stream (`Accept: text/event-stream`) that emits each item as it settles. Items not started within the 45-second budget come back `deferred` (refunded) — just re-request them.
