Prism Lookup API
Scrape Prism Lookup data with one API call. Sniffs the platform + endpoint from a URL and returns that endpoint's unified data, with no surcharge — you pay the resolved endpoint's own cost. The join key the whole API runs on is `url`. Supports TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X/Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, Rumble, Truth Social, GitHub, Amazon, and Spotify links. The `resolved` block names the platform, endpoint, and archetype of the response so agents know the shape that follows; `legs[]` reports the dispatched call's status, cost, and latency.
