# YouTube Community Post Details API

`GET /v1/youtube/community-post-details`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.captapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/youtube/community-post-details`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

One community post — list schema + commentCount trio + isEdited.

Paste a YouTube community post URL (/post/Ugkx… or /community?lb=) and get the same clean shape as Community Posts list items: text, images[], postType, pollOptions + totalVotes when poll (omitted on non-polls), likeCount trio, publishedTimeApprox vocabulary with isEdited (no "(edited)" in the time label), channel{}, linkedVideos[], and commentCount + commentCountText + commentCountIsApproximate. Trailing whitespace / newlines from a curl or clipboard paste are stripped — they are not a 500. A watch URL or a URL that still contains a control character is 400. Flat 1 credit.
