> AgentUtility Twitter User Timeline (tweets-user) is a paid API for AI agents from x402.agentutility.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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 agentutility-twitter-user-timeline-tweets-user-e1f917f4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the last 20 tweets from @elonmusk's Twitter timeline and show me what he's been posting about recently?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically fetch a Twitter user's public tweet timeline by username, especially within an agentic workflow that handles micropayments via the x402/USDC protocol. Prefer this over scraping or manual lookup when you need structured tweet data at low cost ($0.01 per call) without managing your own X API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent username returns an error or empty result
- Private/protected Twitter accounts return no tweets
- X API rate limits may cause throttling or 429 errors
- Suspended accounts return an error response
- Network or upstream X API downtime causes failures
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure via x402 protocol

## How this service works

Returns recent public tweets by username, using the same read-only X API v2 user_tweets backend as user-tweets. Exposed under the buyer wording used by /tweets/user-style clients. Use it as a tweets-by-username or Twitter user timeline API.

## Output

Returns a list of recent tweets from the specified user's timeline, including tweet text, tweet IDs, creation timestamps, and potentially engagement metrics (likes, retweets). Data comes from the X API v2 user_tweets endpoint and reflects the user's public posts.
