04Notes

About 7 posts per page in `posts`, plus `cursor`, an opaque string to pass back as `cursor` for the next page. Search results carry no post body (`selftext` is null), and `upvote_ratio` and `total_awards_received` are null. A search with no results returns `posts: []` for 0 credits.

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