## 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 apollo-x-twitter-real-time-search-sentiment-08b7525d
```

Example prompt: Search X for posts about 'x402 protocol' from the last week — give me up to 15 results and analyze the key sentiment and themes people are talking about.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time social intelligence from X/Twitter — especially when you need both raw post data AND an AI-generated thematic/sentiment summary in one call. Prefer over generic web search when the target is specifically X/Twitter conversations, brand mentions, hashtag tracking, or influencer activity. The Grok-powered analysis layer makes it better than raw scraping tools for understanding what a conversation means, not just what was said.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns 400 error
- count out of range (>25 or <1) may return validation error
- Invalid date format for from_date/to_date causes query failure
- No matching posts for the query returns empty posts array
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 status
