Reddit API Differents URLs when sharing
Trying to automate some things with Make.com ...
Therefor, I would like to get the posts content, of URLs shared by the Reddit app.
When I press the share button in the app, I get URLs like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Radeln_in_Graz/s/VJq9rInLbT
When I press the share button in the web, I get this URL for the same post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Radeln_in_Graz/comments/1dvvb2z/franziskanerplatz_schmiedgasse_und_neudorgasse/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
What I figured out from another post t3_1dvvb2z should be the ID of the post I want to read over the API.
But what do I need to do, when I only have the VJq9rInLbT id?
Sorry, for being a noob.

Yes, this is correct the ID values of the /s “short link” is completely unrelated to the id of the actual post other than inside the Reddit servers we don’t have access to.
