Recorded from https://getjson.de on 2026-10-27 with no key. Long text is cut and ends in " …".

• The provider is mastodon: ActivityPub on the post link, then the server's own API (/api/v1/statuses/:id).
• Links of the form <server>/@<user>/<id> work.
• A count that the server does not give is null (replies in the answer above).
