## 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-e09907a2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the tweet with ID 1234567890 from Twitter and show me what it says?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live tweet data by ID without managing a Twitter developer account or API keys, and you want a simple pay-per-call model via x402 USDC micropayments. Ideal for AI agents that need occasional tweet lookups without a full scraping infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet not found or deleted — returns empty or 404-like response
- Invalid tweet ID format — malformed request error
- Payment failure — x402 payment not accepted or insufficient USDC balance
- Rate limiting or upstream Twitter API issues — service may return error or delay
- Network timeout on the remote endpoint

## 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 containing the tweet's ID and text content, e.g. {data: {id: '1234567890', text: 'Example tweet'}}
