## 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 api-direct-twitter-x-user-search-f57b50ed
```

Example prompt: Search Twitter for users related to 'sustainable fashion' and pull back 3 pages of results so I can see who's active in that space.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover Twitter/X user accounts by topic, name, or keyword — especially for influencer research, lead generation, or audience analysis. It supports multi-page fetching (up to 20 pages) in a single call, making it more efficient than single-page lookups when broad coverage is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the keyword matches no users
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on high page counts
- Query too long if it exceeds 500 characters
- Invalid page count if outside the 1–20 range
- Twitter/X API downtime causing upstream errors

## How this service works

Search for Twitter/X users by keyword.

## Output

A merged list of Twitter/X user profiles matching the search keyword, aggregated across the requested number of pages. Each result typically includes account identifiers, display names, usernames, and profile metadata available via the Twitter/X search API.
