Add Independent API Endpoint for Raffle Data Requests

Offer an API endpoint independent of Reddit to request getRaffleData.

There are a few player tools that would like to monitor claimRaffle/getRaffleData. To do so the scripts need to grab a token and make the request an it's "heavy" on Reddit's resources and they are understandably unimpressed. Reddit have also shut down applications to use their API.

It would be helpful if there was an API that could accept the post id eg "1sfesmk" and returned the relevant getRaffleData.

My script would only need to call it once for every raffle and I believe the load on your servers would be minimal. I'm confident the others will only make a single request.

The devvit environment may complicate things but I'm sure there's a workaround that will not compromise your systems and let us help users participate in raffles & stay engaged in the game.
