Lemmy post url search? (beehaw.org)

I may be missing something obvious, but can you search for main url of a post? Trying avoid posting duplicate content. The search doesn't seem to check the url field for local or all search options.

I'm not sure of any programs that will do this for you but Lemmy has a pretty nice API that you can use and there are libraries you can use for languages like JavaScript: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client

import { LemmyHttp } from 'lemmy-js-client

const client = new LemmyHttp( 'https://beehaw.org/' )

const response = await client.search( {
	listing_type: 'Local',
	q: 'https://www.huckmag.com/article/sex-workers-and-the-kink-community-are-fighting-back-against-instagram-deplatforming',
	sort: 'TopNineMonths',
	type_: 'Url'
} )

console.log( response.posts.length ) // Should print '1' to the console

Ah, thanks. I should have given the API a look. I'll see if I can write something that will do what I need.

If reading through all the JS and/or Rust is frustrating, theres programs to read it into easier to parse formats.
