## 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 fetcher-sh-twitter-handle-about-lookup-11c6dd10
```

Example prompt: Pull the public profile info for the Twitter handle @elonmusk — I want their bio, follower count, and when the account was created.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, no-account, no-OAuth access to public Twitter/X profile metadata for a specific handle, especially in agent workflows where setting up Twitter API credentials is impractical. Prefer this over the official Twitter API when you want pay-per-call USDC billing with no subscription, or when building agents that need social profile enrichment at low volume without managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found or account suspended — returns 404 or empty result
- Twitter/X rate limiting or blocking on the scraping layer — may return error or stale data
- Invalid handle format (e.g. contains spaces or special characters) — returns 400 bad request
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Private or deactivated account — profile data may be incomplete or unavailable
