## 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-user-mentions-lookup-675b984b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Twitter mentions for @openai right now — I want to see who's been tagging them recently.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your agent needs live Twitter mention data for a specific user without setting up Twitter API credentials or a scraping infrastructure. Ideal for monitoring brand mentions, tracking public figures, or enriching agent context with real-time social signals, all billed at a low per-call rate via x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Twitter username/user ID returns empty data or 404
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in 402 response blocking the call
- Rate limiting on the underlying Twitter data source may return partial or no results
- Malformed {ref} path parameter causes a 400 bad request error
- Private or suspended Twitter accounts may return no accessible mention data

## 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 a data array of mention objects (each with tweet ID and username) and a meta object with result_count indicating how many mentions were returned.
