Feature Request: Access Full Image/Video Media on Posts

Start by reviewing the Devvit post data available for thumbnails and enriched thumbnails, then determine how image, video, and gallery data are currently represented. Define the required full-resolution media, gallery metadata, and post-type detection before identifying the relevant API entry points. Done means these media fields are consistently accessible across the requested post types.

Feature Request: Access Full Image/Video Media on Posts

Currently, Devvit post data only provides access to the thumbnail or enrichedThumbnail. These are helpful, but they're limited in resolution and don't support media-rich experiences that require full-sized images or videos.

I'd love to be able to:

• Access the full-resolution image URL(s) for image posts
• Retrieve all images from multi-image/gallery posts
• Access full video URLs (or relevant metadata needed to render/embed them)
• Have consistent support for media fields across different post types that include images or video

Media is a huge part of Reddit's user experience. I'm building a game similar to Wiki Racing, but for Reddit so media plays a key role. Being limited to thumbnails reduces the impact of the design and functionality. Having access to high-quality media would significantly improve the UX. More robust image and video functionality would likely help many other Devvit-ers too! When I floated the idea in Discord, another developer mentioned that access to post images would also be helpful for moderation purposes - for example, to get metadata like file size and resolution.

Additional Context: Support for Gallery Structures

It would also be super helpful to have structured access to gallery posts. Right now, multi-image/gallery posts aren't easily navigable through Devvit - the metadata needed to access each image in a gallery (media IDs, order, captions, etc) doesn't appear to be exposed.

Ideally, for a post that's a gallery, we'd be able to get:

• A list/array of image URLs (preferably full-resolution)
• Any associated metadata for each image (e.g. captions, order, MIME type)
• A way to detect that a post is a gallery

This would unlock more creative and functional ways to work with Reddit content. In my case, being able to show all images in a post helps players follow a visual narrative as they navigate from subreddit to subreddit.

Thanks for considering this!
