Example prompt: Can you look up the Twitter/X profile for user ID 44196397 and tell me their handle, display name, follower count, and bio?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve a Twitter/X numeric user ID to full profile metadata without setting up OAuth credentials, creating a Twitter developer account, or paying for a subscription. Ideal for one-off or low-volume lookups where pay-per-call (USDC via x402) is preferred over monthly API fees. Use this when you already have a user ID and need to hydrate it into full profile data.

## Known failure modes

- User ID does not exist or has been deactivated — returns a 404 or empty result
- User account is suspended — may return an error or partial data
- Rate limiting or scraping blocks from Twitter/X may cause temporary failures
- Invalid or malformed user ID format returns a 400 error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 rejection) prevents the call from completing
