# Dev.to Article Details API

The fields that live on a post's page: series navigation, co-authors and comment reaction counts.

`GET /v1/dev-to/article/details` takes exactly one of `id` or `url` and returns `details` with the fields the plain post route does not carry: `articleId`, `url`, `isPublished`, `isScheduled`, `coAuthorIds`, `series` and `commentsOnPage`.

`series` has its `id`, `title`, `url`, `partsCount` and a `parts` array with `position`, `title` and `url`, so you can walk a multi-part tutorial. `commentsOnPage` gives each comment's `id`, numeric `numericId` and `reactionsCount`. When Dev.to hides a post's page, `listedOnSite` is false and the detail fields are null or empty, but the post itself is still available from `/v1/dev-to/article`.

## FAQ

### When should I use this instead of the article route?

Use this route when you need series navigation, co-authors, publication state or per-comment reaction counts. For the post and its body, /v1/dev-to/article is enough.

### How many credits does a details lookup cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.

### What does listedOnSite false mean?

The post exists but its page is hidden, so the page-only fields are not available. lookupStatus is still found, and the post data is still returned by the article and comment routes.

### How do I use the series parts?

details.series.parts is ordered by position from 1. Each part has a title and a URL. When the post is not in a series, series is null.
