## 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 scrape-creators-reddit-subreddit-search-730224ef
```

Example prompt: Search Reddit subreddits for communities about 'electric vehicles' and show me the top results including their names, subscriber counts, and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or enumerate Reddit subreddits matching a keyword or topic — especially when you want to find communities before deciding which to monitor or scrape posts from. Prefer this over Reddit's native API when you want to avoid OAuth or API key setup.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no subreddits match the query
- Rate limit or timeout errors if Reddit blocks the scraper
- Stale or incomplete data if Reddit changes its page structure
- Invalid or missing query parameter returns an error
- Network timeout from the scraping service

## How this service works

Subreddit Search Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

A list of subreddits matching the search query, including subreddit names, descriptions, subscriber/member counts, and other metadata scraped from Reddit's subreddit search results.
