## 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-user-profile-api-fetcher-sh-640a5a8d
```

Example prompt: Pull the public Reddit profile for username 'spez' — I want their karma, account age, and recent activity history.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to look up a specific Reddit user's public profile, karma stats, or activity history without needing OAuth credentials or a Reddit developer account. Ideal for agent workflows that need to verify user credibility, research community contributors, or enrich data pipelines with Reddit user metadata. Pay-per-call USDC pricing makes it suitable for low-volume or one-off lookups without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — 404 if the account does not exist or has been deleted
- Suspended accounts may return limited or no data
- Private/shadowbanned users may return empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429
- Malformed username in path parameter causes 400 error
