## 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-scraper-api-x402-pay-per-call-22ac6dea -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Reddit's r/MachineLearning for posts and comments mentioning 'LLM agents' from the past 30 days — grab up to 50 posts and 100 comments per post, and skip any NSFW content.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Reddit data — posts, comments, or user info — without managing scraping infrastructure yourself, and want pay-per-successful-call pricing so failed runs cost nothing. It is ideal for agents doing brand monitoring, sentiment research, or community analysis on Reddit. Prefer this over general web scrapers when you need Reddit-specific fields like community name, username, post ID, and comment threading out of the box.

## Known failure modes

- Private or banned subreddit returns empty result (not charged)
- Invalid or malformed Reddit URL causes scrape failure
- Rate limiting by Reddit blocks data collection
- Search without specifying a community returns an error or empty result
- Keyword search without a required community field may be rejected
- Truncated results if maxItems cap is hit before all data is collected

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count and an array of items, each containing fields like id, url, title, userId, dataType, parsedId, username, and communityName. Data type label distinguishes posts, comments, users, and community rows. Failed or empty scrapes are not charged.
