# Gab Post API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/gab/post)

> Returns one Gab post in the unified Post shape under `data.post`: text, media, author, like, reply and repost counts, and `published_at`. A reply carries `post.ext.in_reply_to_id`, a repost carries the original on `post.ext.retweeted_post`, and a quote post carries the quoted post on `post.ext.quoted_post`. A post that does not exist, or was deleted, returns a 404 and is not billed.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/gab/post` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Gab post URL (`https://gab.com/<handle>/posts/<id>`). A bare numeric post id is accepted too. |

## Code example

```bash
curl -G "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/gab/post" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://gab.com/a/posts/117445750063805239" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

## FAQ

### What does the Gab Post API return?

Returns one Gab post with its text, media, author, like, reply and repost counts, and publish time, plus the original post when it is a repost or a quote. The response uses the same JSON envelope as every SocialCrawl endpoint, with the data, credits_used and request_id fields.

### When should I use the Gab Post endpoint?

Use it when you have a Gab post URL or id and want that single post rather than the account's whole timeline.

### How much does the Gab Post API cost?

Each call costs 1 credit, so the 100 free credits every new account gets cover 100 calls. Credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically, and there is no subscription.

### What parameters does the Gab Post API need?

The one required parameter is url (gab post URL).

### How do I call the Gab Post API?

Send a GET request to https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/gab/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgab.com%2Fa%2Fposts%2F117445750063805239 with your API key in the x-api-key header. An Authorization: Bearer header works too.
