## 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 basebuilder2-twitter-downloader-217e4895 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or extract media (video, image, GIF) from a specific Twitter/X tweet URL. Prefer this over manual download or general web scrapers when you need a reliable, paid API call that handles Twitter's content delivery and returns direct media URLs ready for download.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet URL is private or from a protected account — returns error or empty result
- Tweet contains no media (text-only tweet) — returns no downloadable links
- Invalid or malformed tweet URL — returns validation error
- Tweet has been deleted — endpoint may return 404 or empty response
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — returns 402 payment required
