## 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 glim-sh-reddit-search-0ce291bd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Reddit for posts about 'AI regulation' from the past month, sorted by top, and give me up to 25 results — anything posted between 2024-11-01 and 2024-11-30.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need live Reddit search without managing Reddit API credentials or a scraping stack, especially when filtering by date range or sort order matters. Ideal for agents that need to sample Reddit discourse on a topic quickly and are willing to pay $0.01 per call rather than maintain OAuth tokens.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid sort enum value returns 400 error
- Date format not matching YYYY-MM-DD causes rejection
- Limit outside 1-100 range is rejected
- Empty or missing query returns no results or error
- Pagination cursor from a different query context fails
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 or 429
