## 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-scraper-73dcacdb
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 50 posts and comments from Reddit user u/spez, sorted by new, so I can see what they've been up to recently.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a Reddit user's public post and comment history without setting up Reddit API credentials. Ideal for user research, influencer profiling, author analysis, or monitoring specific accounts. Prefer over Reddit's official API when you want a simpler no-auth scraping approach. Choose this over the subreddit feed or search endpoints when the query is specifically about one user's activity.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found or account deleted — empty items array or error response
- Reddit rate limiting or blocking the scraper — service may return partial results or timeout
- Private or suspended Reddit accounts return no data
- Invalid sort or time enum values return a validation error
- Requesting more than 100 items is rejected by schema validation

## How this service works

Reddit user-profile scraper — a Reddit user’s recent posts and comments for AI agents. Pass a username and get their public history: for each item its type (post or comment), subreddit, title or body text, score, permalink, and timestamp, sorted by new, hot, top, or controversial. No login, no Reddit API key. Research users, track activity, and profile authors or influencers.

## Output

Returns a list of up to 100 items (posts or comments) from the specified Reddit user's public history, each containing: item ID, type (post or comment), subreddit, title or body text, score, permalink URL, author, and timestamp. Also includes metadata like total count, sort order used, and data source.
