`GET /profiles/{platform}/{handle}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.socially.run/v1`
- URL: `https://api.socially.run/v1/profiles/{platform}/{handle}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The same lookup as `lookup_profile`, with the platform and handle in the URL path.

- `handle` string, required

## Query parameters

- `posts` integer: Recent posts to return (0–15). Default 10. This limits the answer, not the source read.
- `refresh` boolean: Bypass the cache and the snapshot; costs a credit even when fresh.

## Response `200`
