Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- usernamestring
pixel_forge_dev
Reddit username, without the u/ prefix. Example: "spez".
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `verified`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a profile that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
Response

Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. `suspended`: the platform has suspended the account. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.
