## 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-tweet-fetcher-ed79e5bf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full tweet for tweet ID 1234567890 from Twitter, including any parent tweet and thread context?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live tweet data without managing Twitter API credentials or a scraping stack, and you want pay-per-call simplicity via x402. Prefer this over direct Twitter API when you lack OAuth setup or want to avoid rate-limit management.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet ID not found or deleted — returns empty or error response
- Tweet is from a private/suspended account — access denied
- Malformed or missing tweet ID in request body — validation error
- Rate limit or payment failure — 402 or 429 response
- Twitter platform outage — upstream failure with error message

## How this service works

One remote endpoint gives your agent live data from Twitter, Reddit, the open web, GitHub and more. No API keys, no scraping stack - just connect the URL and go.

## Output

A JSON object containing the tweet's ID and text, a parent tweet object (or null if none), and a thread array with related tweets in the conversation chain.
