## 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-trends-a42db14b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's trending on Twitter/X right now? Give me the top trends with their rankings.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time Twitter/X trending data without managing your own Twitter API credentials or scraping infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need to monitor social media trends on-demand, paying only per call via x402/USDC micropayments rather than maintaining a monthly API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — returns 402 Payment Required if USDC payment is not attached
- Twitter API downtime — upstream data unavailable, returns 503 or error
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short window may be rejected
- Empty trends — if no trends are available for the requested region, result_count may be 0
- Invalid request body — malformed POST payload may return 400 Bad Request
