## 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 tanship-payai-console-reddit-comments-api-x402-9b18f713 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the comments from this Reddit thread for me? I want to see what people are saying — here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/abc123/some_post_title/

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Reddit comment data without going through Reddit's official API (which has strict rate limits and OAuth requirements). Ideal for one-off comment fetches, research tasks, or agent workflows where a $0.01 per-call micropayment via USDC is preferable to managing Reddit API credentials. Best suited for scenarios where you have a specific Reddit post URL and need its comments quickly.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or deleted Reddit post URL returns empty or error response
- Reddit rate limiting or bot detection may cause temporary failures
- Malformed request body (wrong bodyType or missing required fields) returns 400 error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required before content is served
- Private or locked subreddits may be inaccessible
