## 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-search-e9dace75 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Twitter for up to 20 recent tweets about 'AI agents' and show me what people are saying right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your agent needs live tweet data without setting up Twitter API credentials or a scraping infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need real-time social sentiment, trending mentions, or keyword monitoring on X/Twitter and want a simple pay-per-call model with no key management.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns zero results if no matching tweets exist
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns an error response
- Invalid or missing query parameter causes a 400-level error
- Twitter platform downtime may cause upstream failures
- Count exceeding platform limits may be capped silently

## How this service works

Search tweets, X-API-style raw shape. Body: {"q":"x402","sort":"Latest","limit":20} - the param is q, not query

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' array of tweet objects (each containing an 'id' and 'text' field) and a 'meta' object with the result_count — providing live tweets matching the search query.
