## 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 scrapfly-reddit-crawler-8604ecb0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape this Reddit thread and give me the post content along with all the top comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/abc123/some_post_title/

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract structured data specifically from Reddit — posts, comments, subreddit listings — without managing proxy infrastructure or anti-bot measures yourself. Prefer this over generic HTTP fetch when Reddit's bot detection would otherwise block you, or when you need parsed structured output rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Reddit URL returns error
- Reddit rate-limiting or bot detection causes scrape failure
- Private or quarantined subreddit URLs return no data
- Deleted posts or removed content return empty data
- Network timeout results in failed success response
- URL points to non-Reddit domain and returns unexpected results
