Identify a Reddit URL

Identify what a Reddit URL points at before fetching it. Give any reddit.com or redd.it URL (share links, old.reddit.com, trailing params are fine); get back {type: subreddit|user|post|comment, id, handle, canonical_url}. Post URLs yield the t3_ id for reddit_get_post; comment permalinks yield the t1_ id; subreddit and user URLs yield the name for reddit_get_subreddit or reddit_get_user. Costs 2 credits and parses offline without fetching the page. Skip this tool when you already have a t3_/t1_ id, subreddit name, or username: the other Reddit tools accept those directly. Not for non-Reddit URLs; it returns INVALID_INPUT for those.
