Utility Resolve Input API
Scrape Utility Resolve Input data with one API call. Turn a pasted URL, @handle, platform:handle ("tiktok:charlidamelio") or bare id into the platform, what it is (profile, post, video, product, repo and so on), its canonical handle, id or URL, and every endpoint that accepts it, with the parameter to pass and the credit price of each, cheapest first. Tracking parameters, mobile hosts, trailing slashes and a leading @ are cleaned off. Nothing is fetched, so a short link (vm.tiktok.com, youtu.be-style redirects, pin.it) is recognised but flagged rather than followed, and a bare name with no platform comes back ambiguous with a pointer to the paid prism/find-accounts. Pass one value as input or up to 100 as inputs (comma or newline separated). Free to call.

Returns what a pasted URL, @handle or id is: platform, kind (profile, post, video, product, repo), canonical handle or id, and each endpoint that accepts it with its parameter and price.
Use it before calling anything with a link or name you were given, or to split a mixed list by platform. It fetches nothing. Free to call.
