Common to every endpoint

Any route can answer these: a missing or wrong key, no credits left, the platform not answering, or a failure on our side. None of them costs credits.

}

04Notes

About 7 posts per page (comment searches a few more), plus `after`, an opaque string to pass back as `after` for the next page; pages can overlap. Post results carry no body (`selftext` null), and `upvote_ratio` and `total_awards_received` are null. A search with no results returns an empty list for 0 credits. An unknown `filter`, `sort` or `timeframe` is a free 400.

05Errors & credits

Every error has success: false, a real HTTP status and costs no credits.
