## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured top-post data from Reddit without managing OAuth credentials, Reddit API keys, or rate limit quotas. Ideal for AI agents that need one-off or periodic Reddit data with pay-per-call USDC billing — no account setup required. Prefer over direct Reddit API access when building autonomous agents that need frictionless data access.

## Known failure modes

- Subreddit does not exist or is private — returns 404 or empty result
- Reddit rate limiting or availability issues — returns 5xx error
- Invalid time period parameter — may return empty or default results
- Payment not processed — returns 402 requiring USDC payment on Base
- Subreddit is quarantined or banned — no posts returned
