Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-via-stableapify-dev-harshmaur-reddit-scraper-307f5133 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the Reddit profile for user 'sarptecimer' — get up to 100 items, use 1024 MB memory, and don't include email addresses.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract Reddit data — posts, comments, users, or communities — at scale without worrying about Reddit's native API rate limits. It is ideal for one-time bulk extractions, pay-per-result workflows, or when building pipelines that require flexible Reddit data without managing OAuth credentials or API quotas. Prefer this over the Reddit official API when you need higher volume, no authentication setup, or a pay-as-you-go cost model.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid username or subreddit returns an empty dataset or actor error
- Insufficient memory setting causes actor run to fail mid-scrape
- Payment failure (x402) prevents actor from starting
- Exceeding maxItems cap truncates results silently
- Actor run enters FAILED or TIMED-OUT status if Reddit blocks the scraper
- Token expiry before dataset retrieval prevents accessing results
