## 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 glim-sh-twitter-trending-topics-e516138c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top 20 trending topics on Twitter worldwide right now? Use WOEID 1 for global trends.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live Twitter/X trending topic data without managing your own Twitter API credentials or scraping infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need real-time social media pulse data on a pay-per-call basis with no setup overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid WOEID returns empty or error response
- Count value out of supported range may return validation error
- Twitter API rate limits or downtime may result in failed fetch
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 status with no data returned
- Unsupported or obscure WOEID may return no trends

## How this service works

Fetch a tweet (with thread context) by URL/id or a user (with recent tweets) from one URL

## Output
