## 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-lookup-by-id-c4b79fa0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the tweet with ID 1893456789012345678 and tell me what it says?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the live text and metadata of a specific tweet by its ID and do not have Twitter API credentials. It costs $0.001 USDC per call with no setup required, making it ideal for lightweight, on-demand tweet lookups inside agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet ID not found or deleted — likely returns 404 or empty data
- Invalid tweet ID format — may return validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream Twitter API issues — may return 429 or 503
- Payment failure via x402 — request not processed if USDC payment rejected

## 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

Returns a JSON object with the tweet's ID and full text (e.g. {"data":{"id":"...","text":"..."}}), sourced live from Twitter/X.
