Scout first run: Reddit returned 0 posts — verify outbound access

Created Apr 26, 08:05 PM

Context

ScoutDiscoverWorkflow completed successfully but produced 0 opportunity cards. Both r/shopify and r/ecommerce returned 0 posts. The Fly worker likely cannot reach Reddit (rate limit or IP block). No LLM call was made, no research_briefs were written. The workflow itself is correct — the data source fetch is empty.

Instructions
  1. 1

    Check Fly logs for the scout worker (flyctl logs) and look for Reddit HTTP status codes.

  2. 2

    If Reddit returns 403 or 429, the Fly worker IP is blocked. Options: add Reddit API credentials, use a proxy, or switch data source.

  3. 3

    Once fixed, re-run ScoutDiscoverWorkflow manually and confirm research_briefs rows are written.
