## 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 reddit-post-comments-fetcher-fetcher-sh-d0e76480 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull all the comments for Reddit post t3_abc123 — I want the full comment tree including nested replies, and I'll pay per call in USDC.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve Reddit comment threads without setting up OAuth credentials, a Reddit developer account, or a subscription. Ideal for agents that need pay-as-you-go access to Reddit discussion data using USDC micropayments via the x402 protocol, especially when processing sporadic or low-volume requests where a full Reddit API integration is not cost-effective.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent post ID returns a 404 error
- Deleted or removed posts may return empty or partial comment trees
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Private or restricted subreddit posts may be inaccessible
- Very large comment trees may be paginated or truncated
