## 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-subreddit-info-api-via-fetcher-sh-dc876099
```

Example prompt: Pull the subreddit info for r/MachineLearning — I want to see its subscriber count, description, and community details without needing a Reddit account.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need subreddit metadata without setting up Reddit OAuth credentials or a Reddit developer account. It is ideal for lightweight agent workflows, one-off lookups, or pay-as-you-go usage patterns where subscribing to a full Reddit API plan is overkill. At $0.002 per call with USDC payment via x402, it suits low-volume or cost-sensitive pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Subreddit does not exist — returns 404 or empty result
- Subreddit is private or banned — access denied or error response
- Payment not processed (x402 flow fails) — no data returned
- Rate limiting or scraping detection by Reddit backend — intermittent failures
- Malformed subreddit name input — unexpected error response
