## 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 fetcher-sh-reddit-user-profile-api-1cb5e6ca
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Reddit profile for user 'spez' — I want to see their karma, account age, and any bio info that's publicly available?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve Reddit user profile data without setting up OAuth or Reddit API credentials. Ideal for AI agents that need quick, per-call lookups of public Reddit user stats — such as karma, account age, and bio — paid cheaply in USDC with no subscription required. Prefer over direct Reddit API integration when avoiding credential management overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Username does not exist — returns 404 or empty result
- Reddit account is suspended or banned — may return limited or no data
- Rate limiting or Reddit-side blocking — may return error or stale data
- Private or shadow-banned accounts may return incomplete profiles
- Payment failure via x402 — request not fulfilled if USDC payment is rejected
