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.

Returns a JSON object with a data array containing the matched user's numeric ID and username, plus a meta object with result_count indicating how many users were found.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you look up the Twitter user ID and username for the handle @cascade_fyi using glim.sh — I need the numeric ID without setting up my own Twitter API key.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://surf.cascade.fyi/api/v1/twitter/users/%7Bref%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a Twitter username to a numeric user ID (or vice versa) without managing your own Twitter API credentials or scraping infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need quick, pay-per-call Twitter user identity lookups with no setup cost.
Side effects
- User not found — empty data array with result_count 0
- Invalid or malformed username/ref — may return 4xx error
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before data is returned
- Rate limiting or upstream Twitter API unavailability — service error
- Suspended or deactivated Twitter account — may return no results
