```http
GET | POST /v1/reddit/profile
```

Send parameters as a query string with `GET`, or as a JSON body with `POST`. Both are equivalent.

## What to Pass

| Pass | Reads | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `username` | The user's profile | `include=trophies` adds their trophy case under `ext.trophies` (+1 unit) |

Pass one source per call. Every identifier also takes the page URL.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `include` | string list |  | Extra reads to attach under `ext`: trophies (+1 unit). |
| `username` | string |  | Username, with or without u/, or the profile URL. |

)
body = res.json()
```

## Response
