Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-use access to Reddit comment and post data from a specific subreddit without managing Reddit OAuth credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'subreddit' query parameter returns a validation error
- Invalid or banned subreddit name may return an empty posts array or error

- Rate limiting or Reddit API downtime may cause empty responses or timeouts
