Classify a URL by social/professional platform and extract IDs
Identifies Twitter/X, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Medium, Substack, Bluesky, Threads. Extracts structured IDs where the path is deterministic (tweet ID, repo owner/name, video ID, profile slug). Unlike the sibling URL endpoints, scheme-less input is accepted BY DESIGN (people paste 'twitter.com/jack' without https://), so any plausible bare hostname parses; plausible requires a dot, so a scheme-less bare word ('not-a-url') is rejected as is_valid:false (an explicit scheme lifts that requirement). An unknown but well-formed host returns platform=null with parsed path/host; input that is not a URL at all (malformed authority) is rejected as is_valid:false.
Request
- Base URL: https://api.snipget.ai (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)

Query parameters
Set true to attach an execution receipt at meta.receipt — caller-verifiable sha256 hashes over the RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalization of this call's as-received JSON body and its result (free, like include_trace). Reproduce with any JCS library: input_hash = sha256(jcs({"tool": <request path>, "args": <your body minus include_trace/include_receipt>})); result_hash = sha256(jcs(result)). For deterministic tools, same input on the same build reproduces result_hash.
