## 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 anyapi-threads-search-users-65ef957d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Threads for users matching 'sustainable fashion' and give me a list of the top accounts that come up — I want their usernames, display names, and follower counts if available.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find and discover Threads users by name, keyword, or topic without managing a direct Threads API integration or OAuth. Ideal for influencer discovery, brand monitoring, competitive research, or verifying whether a specific person or brand has a Threads presence.

## Known failure modes

- No users found for the given query — empty results array returned
- Invalid or missing query parameter — API returns 400-level error
- Threads platform rate limiting or blocking — API returns error or empty results
- Query too generic returning irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 — request not processed
