## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-direct-get-reddit-post-by-url-or-id-c6084263
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Reddit post at https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1wwv97o/my_python_magic_is_gone/ and include the sentiment analysis so I can see how people are reacting emotionally?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific Reddit post URL or post ID and need full post details plus optional emotion/sentiment scoring. Prefer this over a Reddit search endpoint when you already know the exact post you want — it is faster and more precise than keyword search. Ideal for agents that need to verify, summarize, or emotionally profile a particular Reddit submission.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed post URL returns an error
- Post ID not found or deleted returns a 404-style error
- Providing both url and post_id simultaneously is rejected
- Providing neither url nor post_id returns a validation error
- Private or quarantined subreddit posts may be inaccessible
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 error

## How this service works

Get one Reddit post by URL or post ID.

## Output

Returns a post object containing the Reddit post's title, body text, author, subreddit, score, upvote ratio, comment count, creation timestamp, URL, and other metadata. When get_sentiment is true, adds a sentiment object with emotion scores (joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, anticipation each 0–100), dominant_emotion, emotional_intensity (0–10), and polarity.
